- This is rental car number 83 and today I'm driving the 2018 Chevrolet Impala Premier with a 3.6 L V6 engine. This is a four door full sized sedan, so it should be boring, but I absolutely love this car. It drives well, has two really nice screens, the seats are comfortable, and it gets decent gas mileage. What's not to love? Anyway, thank you so much for watching this video. Please do me a favor and leave a comment (or two) and let me know what you think about the 2018 Impala. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers!

I have a 2018 premier...man this car is underrated!.. feel like a baller with this ride!
You should! It's a great car.
I do too😁
You've done over 120 right?
Do you mean over 120 mph? Because if that's what you're asking the answer is definitely no. At least, not in an Impala. 😎
I work at a car rental company and i drive these a lot. Hands down one of the best car on the market. The 2019 and 2020s nissan maxima, altimas, chrysler 300 and dodge chargers drive really comfortable too.
Agreed! It sad that the Impala is going to disappear. I hope Chevy brings it back soon.
This review was smooth and straight to the meat and potatoes great job man!
Im picking one up in a few days, can't wait.
Congratulations!
Me too! This is a Fusion Platinum AWD.
Just bought this in premier. 🤙 love it
Congratulations!
I have a 17 Impala and just love it. I have 29K on it and have never had any problems.
Update this comment once you get 75k miles

I recently purchased a 2018 Impala Premier and it has two USB ports inside the armrest compartment.
Such a beautiful car. I just wish GM would bring back the two door Coupe and convertible with a 6.2L V8 six speed automatic and Manual transmission.
they did. and they called it a Camaro.
It's a beautiful sedan & impressed me alot when I specifically rented one while my Lincoln was in body shop. Looking seriously at a Fusion Platinum also. Btw, Chevy is continuing production till 2020 due to demand!
These are great cars... Chevy really turned the Impala around in 2014... I've only driven an Impala Limited (basically the 2006-2013 generation but they made them for rental fleets until 2016), and it was a boring car... I've unfortunately not had a chance to drive one of these, but I'm really excited to do so... I'd buy one of these if I were in the market for a fullsize car... I work for a Chevy dealership and we sell a lot of these, Chevy must be doing something right :)
I also recently rented this car too and really enjoyed the performance of this engine and smooth transmission system. However, this car seemed to have less fuel economy than other cars in the same class with V6 engine; I was at the gas station every 3-4 days and that's with mostly city driving. In addition, I heard on other sites that there was noice and cold air coming from the dash board where the screen lifts up.
That was EXTREMELY well done. Not too technical. Very honest and succinct. Great camera work. Your most excellent review has pushed me over the edge to buy a used Premier. I am a little nervous about reliability because there is not enough of a sampling size of data, but it appears that the last three model years appear to trend on the good to very good side of reliability. I would be using this car for commuting and really have not found any negatives. But outside of my inclination to purchase one, this video was truly well done, I love the concise style. Last thought: I find it interesting that you point out the rear seating child latches, so I am assuming you find this car safe enough for small children.
Thanks for the kind words about my video. I've been working hard to improve and it's nice to get supportive feedback. And yes, I have small kids and I would feel very comfortable with them riding in an Impala. Good luck with your purchase. Let me know what you think after you've driven it for a bit. ✌️
Its an extremely reliable car! Just rated best sedan under $40k for 2019. Rest easy. I recommend new with incentives etc loaded for $33k . It's this or a new Fusion Platform for my family.
Good review I really liked the hidden space behind the touchscreen!😁👍🏻
Can i put a gun behind that
Maybe a small pistol. I'm not sure it has enough depth for most guns.
I have a 17. Best car I've ever owned and I'm 62.
Chevy has been doing a good job with their interiors lately. I like the fit and finish and style that is found in all their vehicles. Well those I've seen. The media center is great too. I also like the color matching. The blue on the screen is the same blue on the gauges. Little touches like that mean a lot to me.
Just purchased 2019 Premier and luv it.Smooth quiet on highway with all the bells and whistles.. Blind side warning definitely necessary for the car is extremely long and back window visibility meager at best. I give it 4 Stars
Got a 2019, just because they were going away, LT loaded, leather, Bose, side blind & rear crossing sensors/ Mine is the Pepperdust with light wheat interior. Both were discontinued for the abbreviated 2020 final year. The end of V6 American sedans.
If this car was rwd, had the lt2, and a 10 speed and was updated to 2021 tech, I would have a VERY tough time choosing this or the charger scatpack
I just bought the same car. My arm rest inside has two USB plug ins. I like the car. Good MPG and it’s fast. Just what I need for 60 mile round trip to and from work. And Chevy will bring back the Impala. Look at the blazer and heard they are bringing back an updated Monte Carlo. But only rumors right now..
You know I actually think the impala this year is better than the last cause I want a car that has a smooth feeling and I also want a car that I don't have to look down at the at the speedometer for a second
It's awesome car! Can get one now thru 2020.
I like the impala, although I’m not a huge fan of the design. I rented a “premium” model yesterday from avis, which is Chevy Impala or similar. The lady tried getting me into a Passat, didn’t work. I ended up with an F150 as a complimentary upgrade.
6 16CivicMT Yeah I don’t get why Avis thinks the Passat belongs in the Premium class. They tried the same thing on me. That’s pretty funny that they got to off load a pickup truck on to you.
Disney Fan I told her it was not a premium car, it was a full size and she said “well it’s a premium full-size because it’s brand new” she was looking at a little list she had of car classes and the Passat was clearly in the full size column. I flat out told her I wasn’t taking the Passat. I then requested an upgrade to ther F150 and she agreed.. Avis confuses me
What did you think of the F-150? And yeah, I've never had great experiences with Avis.
100 Rental Cars It was ok, I fell short of the epa gas mileage, only got 20 on the highway. It was comfortable, but it was older. Avis has always been my go to because it’s the cheapest in my area, but last time I rented my car had a check engine light. And this time they tried getting me into a car class that I paid a premium to get out of. Seems a little shady
Cant go wrong!
I drove though my local Chicagoland Enterprise yesterday and I found a brand new 2018 Lincoln Navigator all the way from Alabama. Be on the look out for one
Will do! I do love Lincoln.
Can tell you really like these Impalas lol
Too much, huh?
Drive one u cant not like it. Makes the Japanese cars in class look so cheap an ride so bad. Caddy DNA here.
Love this car! Is the wireless charger only on certain models? Because I’m purchasing a 2017 premier nd it don’t have the wireless charging
Cruise control should always be on the right side of the steering wheel.
Amen!
Super carr
As always, a great review. However I don’t think the impala is a good car to buy especially when considering the top of the trim. From what I saw, there’s a lot of hard touch plastic and honestly, cars like the Mazda 6 seem to be much more luxurious on the inside. I have never driven an impala so I can’t say anything about that.... but I feel like buying this car would only be for the driving experiences rather than the better interior that it should have had at such a high price range.
Thanks for the kind words! I haven't driven a Mazda yet, but I hear they're super nice. Unfortunately Enterprise doesn't have any, so I'll have to figure something else out. Maybe Hertz?
teja 1999 I don’t like SUV’s so I drive a sedan. I also have three teen boys who are all 6-3 to 6-5 feet tall. They have plenty of knee room in the back of this Impala. I love this car.
I actually just bought a 2019 premier 2lz and I was surprised how many soft touch areas there are. Pretty much every where you touch and hard plastic down low on the door which is fine. Only minor gripe is it has the older infotainment system but it works good and I just use carplay anyways so not a huge deal for me personally. Picked it over a 2019 toyota camry xse v6 if that says anything for you
"this is a FWD car"
Fun fact.NONE of Chevy's sedans have AWD option.
Really? I had no idea. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Honesty, I think Chevy is planning to make some big changes. The amount of vehicles they're discontinuing after 2019 is staggering.
100 Rental Cars impala, and sonic are planned to be discounted.
Ford is discounting the taurus, fiesta and Flex
u gotta buy a caddy for that haha
True hence Fusion SEL AWD very high on my shopping list!
@@100RentalCars the Impala production has been extended thru 2020 due to demand!
is thee speakers loud
Are you a railroader?
Nope, nothing as interesting as that. I'm basically a glorified paper pusher
This a ok car though it go faster 😩but ok
One term for this car would be: "piece of shit". One great alternative to this piece of shit: Camry.
Camry sucks. Impala great car.
@@Davido50 are you serious? For every 1 Impala sold, there are about 77 Camrys sold. For every Camry recalled, there are about 500 Impalas recalled. A used Camry sells for about 250% more than a used Impala. In the final analysis, I suppose a person like you deserves an Impala :)
Chevy blowz!
You to! I say drive American or walk.
Other then the engine it looks cheaply made :(
That could be my cheap camera (I'm hoping to upgrade it soon). In person, it doesn't feel cheap at all. In fact, it's one of the nicest sedans I've driven this year. But that's just me. Are you thinking of buying something like this?
Absolutely not. Better than any foreign car in price range. Rated best sedan under $40k for 2019 & production Increased due to demand. Dont troll.
@@100RentalCars it's very well made feeling. Better than any new Japanese car in price range. I've looked at em all.
You need your eyes checked
