Nice! Congratulations!

My wife and I rented one for a quick 600 mile road trip. This car soaks up the highway miles, it does 80 mph without breaking a sweat. I would rent one again.

I totally agree. You can't even tell you're going 80. It's soooo smooth.

I have a 2017 LT V6(pretty much identical), and speaking as a single guy, this car is awesome. Very reminiscent of the old days when you didnt need a SUV and you didnt want a tin can mini car but something in the middle that had balls to it, this is the best. I highly recomend getting one!

Got one about a week ago for 17k with 28k miles on it fairly new man I love the car. So smooth my kids and wife love it also.

I just drove this model (LT V6) I am on a business trip and went to pick up my rental car. This is one of enterprises more “premium” models that cost more to rent and I would have assumed that it isn’t worth it pay over $20 a day more to drive an Impala over a Corolla. But this vehicle changed my mind. They were out of the baseline vehicles that I was supposed to receive so they hooked me up with the upgraded impala w/out making me pay the difference. Aside from the classic impalas from the 60s I have never been much of fan of newer impalas. However this new 2018 LT V6 model is completely redesigned and actually very nice! It has onstar, 4G, and a Wi-Fi hotspot which is very nice for business purposes. And it also a hidden compartments where you hit a button and the touch screen lifts up via motor to reveal a cool hidden compartment that has additional USB connections. The compartment is quite large and could hold valuables like multiple phones, passport, important paperwork, small tablet, or anything else you may be traveling with that you wish to keep secure. It also has Apple Car Play and whatever the android equivalent is (for the pilgrims who refuse to join the future.) JK LOL But the best part is the 305 hp V6 engine. It drives very smooth yet very fast and surprisingly beefy, especially for a large sedan of that size! All and all it was significantly more impressive than I would’ve ever imagined, and for the price point it’s a great vehicle. Definitely do the V 6 though, especially considering it’s only $1000 or so more.

Great thoughts! Thanks for sharing. And I'm glad you're enjoying it, I was also pleasantly surprised at how nice the Impala drives. Unfortunately, 2019 will likely be the last year for the Impala. Chevy is discontinuing it. Although, I'm sure we'll see it renamed and designed soon. Good luck on your trip!

I agree. I mean, I understand why Chevy is slowly phasing out their sedans. Very few people want them. Everyone wants crossovers, SUVs, and minivans. Hopefully someday the publics opinions will change and they'll bring it back. Or....and this is my real hope....Chevy will bring the Impala back as an EV in 2020.

Great review I bought a 2014 impala 2.5 cyl engine and it drives great it has just enough hp for smooth driving and it’s even better in manual mode, and the seating space is amazing

You're right about the seating space. It's crazy large. And I never tried out the manual mode. I gotta be honest, I'm always a bit hesitant to try stuff like that out. I'm not sure why, maybe lack of practice? Who knows, but you've got me thinking about it. So next car I'm definitely going to film my trying stuff like that out. Thanks!

I drove a previous generation Impala Limited LS a few years back, but haven't driven the "new" one. I hope to soon, though! :) I hope Chevy changes their mind and keeps the Impala around for another generation! :)

Fingers crossed!

I like my Impala. This is a very nice car that is very comfortable (makes it easy on the body for a covering a lot of miles), reliable, loaded with features, has good technology, easily fits 4-5 people, easily fits a lot of cargo, logically laid out with great ergonomics, has simple and well marked controls, is quite inexpensive to maintain compared to an SUV (one of my main reasons for not getting an SUV is the ongoing cost of repair is low because the replacement parts are inexpensive), and is inexpensive to insure compared to an SUV. The bottom line is that it is quite comfortable, it is reliable, it saves on repairs, replacement parts are inexpensive, and it saves on insurance. I would really like to see this car continued to be produced, as it does a good job filling the full-sized sedan market segment.

I'm thinking about buying this car. Do the LT models have blind spot monitors like the LTZ and Premier?

I sure LOVE my 2015 LTZ!!! It's loaded except no "Radar-Cruise/Automatic front braking". Mine's Burgundy with the Black Leather. Also have the BIG 20" wheels (option-code AQ9), which are only available on the LTZ's/Premier's. Not gonna lie....it rides fairly firm with these wide low-profile tires, P245/40-20"!!

I'm not a Chevy person but the Impala is a nice car. My husband got a brand new one from his job before he passed away in 2013. These newer ones are a lot nicer than the older ones

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I know it was a while ago, but I hope you're doing okay. And yeah, it's a great car. I love driving it, but...well I'm not sure I'd actually buy it for myself. I can see why Chevy is thinking of stopping production. I'm much more interested in hatchbacks, SUVs, and minivans. I'm not sure I'll ever buy another large sedan (we just sold our Honda Accord and got a minivan).

100 Rental Cars thank you yes. It's been a rough 4 years but you just have to keep going. My husband was a Volvo person. He had a 1996 Volvo sport something lol ...can't remember what it was...i always tell people it looked like the red volvo in Mrs doubtfire that Sally field drove lol. But he completely rebuilt this thing from the frame up. Looked showroom new when he was done. His sister has it now and it's in a climate controlled garage...yes a climate controlled garage lol. She will not let anyone touch it. I love my Lincoln MKZ. I've had town cars and grand Marquis and crown vics since I started driving. This car is smaller than those but I fell in love with it when I first drove it. I have a 96 Continental in my garage that needs a new transmission. ..I can't give up my big cars completely!!

Probably the best 4 door sedan Chevrolet ever made, they are being phased out because of the SUV market. There is no more demand for the sedans unfortunately. It drives smooth and has plenty of power (305hp) for a sedan that size. The only competition it really has is the Taurus and Charger which are similar sized cars. I do not regret trading in my 4cylinder 2015 Malibu for the new 2018 Impala LT (i wish i could get the premier) but was just out of my budget. But all and all with the v6 (same as the camaro LT has) more than amazing this car. Ans smooth driving, it has Mercedes qualities to it suspension wise.

I love the latest Impala. I wish I would have had a better experience with my 2011 Impala if I had I would consider a new Impala. Not the same car at all but that car left a sour opinion of GM.

+Austin Peters I think I'd feel the same way. Once you've had a bad experience, it's just not worth buying your next car from the same manufacturer. I bought a Saturn years ago and had problems with it. And because of that, I'll never go back to any of Saturn's parent company. There's just too many other (better) options.

Also, if you can get by with a sedan instead of a similarly sized crossover, you can save a ton of money. Probably $10,000 - $15,000.

Hmmm intersting idea. I did a quick Google search and, you're right, you could get a base model Ford Edge for about $2,000 less. And the Nissan Rogue is about 10k less. If I was forced to choose between those three - the Impala, Edge, and Rogue - I think I'd probably go: (1) Impala, (2) low end Edge, and (3) Rogue. How about you?

@HALWG51

If I had to choose, just based on features and cost, the Impala would win hands down. The Rogue would be a very distant 3rd. At 6'2", I'm really cramped inside a Rogue, and it's a very narrow car.

Leasing this car is like getting blood taken unwillingly. Expensive as hell.

2:36 I want to like this Impala, but the poor rear visibility is a deal breaker. It is very disconcerting to drive a car, without confidently knowing where it ends, and what might or might not be behind you when reversing or making a lane change.

You never need your rear window for lane changing or backing up even use mirror.., it has barely any blind spots (so to be clear you have no idea what you're talking about) also reversing? It has a camera, if you cannot reverse a car with that?! Consider yourself one of those "drivers" people hate seeing driving ...

Not the best fit and finish. All cars should have the blind spot mirror insert. That's why I like Ford. I agree, ugly steering wheel. I like that they have kept the traditional shift lever. Push/pull buttons and knobs for the transmission just don't do it for me. Terrible glove box.

Yeah, sedans are kinda a thing of the past. Everyone I know either owns a smaller car, like a hatchback, an SUV, or a minivan. I'd love to see maybe a fully electric option? Cause the Tesla Model S is about this size and THAT sells well (for triple the price). And I agree about the steering wheel. KIA has my recent favorite steering wheel (it's much thinner).

It's very economical on the highways, but you are way off for the fuel range. You will definitely not get 550 - 600 miles on a tank even if you only drove on the highways. The max you could ever get on a tank would probably be about 515. The average being more realistically around 415 - 430 (combined city/highway).
