I drove a 2015 LTZ from Minnesota to Florida and back. Coming from a 2004 Nissan Maxima (which is an extremely fun car to drive), the Impala is somewhat bigger, but didn't really feel it. The handling was very good. The 305HP V6 was extremely impressive and smooth. Plus, going 75mph down the highway, I was easily getting 32mpg. I will definitely be owning one in the future.
Did you end up buying one?
@@RiffRock51 Yes
I just bought an Impala. Black on black leather. I love it so far. I miss the blue mood lights that I had on my Malibu and should have gotten a moonroof. However, the vehicle is very smooth, surprisingly quick, and comfortable. It is a grown ups car but not an older persons car. I did not purchase it, but the safety features (collision braking, blind spot alarm, etc..) I found to be awesome. It is really responsive but not enough to confuse you. It is a system that could easily save your life or impede an accident. The backseat is big and comfortable. Huge trunk and it has nice looks to it. I have no regrets and its affordable. Anyone who has sat in the backseat falls asleep within minutes.
But after seeing this I am wondering about the Lacrosse.
It's up to you I have been in a impala the space is wonderful and fast pick up
Don't understand why this car does not sell much better than it does, rode one a yr ago and if I had been blindfolded I would have sworn I was riding a luxury car, not a Chevy!
I know and they are pushing the Malibu
My very first Chevy sedan!! Good job Alex.
I am driving a 2016 Chevy Impala as a rental and really like it. Put 3,000 miles worth of roadtrip on it in 4 days and really like the way it drives.
The way you break down its competition is just nice!
After this review I know more about the Buick LaCrosse than I do the Chevy and Impala.
Is this pepperdust color exterior
Lol
I was about to say same thing, I haven't seen or found his review on buick la crosse, and yet he kept on going about buick whole time..great comment btw! Lol..
@@nicholasmenasian1142 I believe nightfall metallic since I have Pepperdust.
I hope you get paid by the car companies for these great, honest reviews. I am currently driving a base 2016 Impala LT (rental -- my SUV got rear-ended), and I LOVE it. Even though it's a base model with "pleather" and the 2.5L I4, I'm still impressed. Most-likely gonna keep my SUV and lease a 2016 Impala LTZ. Consumer Reports loves it too, but your review was so thorough and well-done, you have just about convinced me to get one. You did a great job. Thanks, Alex!
And I DID lease a 2016 Impala LTZ. Love it! The 20-inch wheels do add some road noise, but you get used to it.
@@WS3RD how did it end up holding up?
@@DavidAlejandro201990 Very happy with the LTZ. Ran great for three years!
And 4 years later.. it’s an absolute bargain on the used market.
I think I’ll be buying a nicely loaded V6 LT version for less money than the small, slow, and dumpy four cylinder crossovers that everyone is so nuts about these days.
you are one of the relatively few reviewers that talks in depth about rough-road ride quality. a big plus in my book.
Your automobile reviews are more complete and thorough than anyone else's. I was very impressed by the video shot you did when looking at the center control and you brought the steering wheel buttons over in front of what we were viewing I thought that was kind of cool! You obviously put a huge amount of work and research into your video reviews. I also didn't miss the part where you put the vehicle size review on a measuring stick, some of the things that you have done to change your videos have not gone unnoticed. Thanks! I am currently searching for a new car and have been watching a lot of the car review videos and I have found yours the most useful, you have made it easy for me to narrow down the field and I have been able to do a lot of my shopping from my couch! Thank you thank you thank you and thank you again for all the time and footwork that you have saved me! You will continue to get the thumbs up for me on all of your videos in the future.
When Buick made the lacrosse bigger it appears to me to be more like a dressed up impala. I was considering a Buick lacrosse last year's model but the new year the new model is definitely out of the picture it's just too big.
You reviews are very thorough and detailed. I have been watching them for a couple of years, and I always feel well-informed after watching them! I really like that you compare the car in each review with other competing vehicles, so we can see how they all match up, you give data support why you give a certain letter grade to each area of consideration (suspension, handling, cabin noise, etc). In this review, I like that you mention the interior sound decibels. I would love to see that on more of your reviews! They make several cell phone apps that will check the decibels for you. I also like when you get into some of the technical/mechanical details (suspension/steering geometry, dual clutch vs. regular planetary transmissions, etc). Again, your reviews are outstanding! Please keep up the great work! Happy holidays!
I love Alex! Most detailed reviews ever! So excited to watch this!
+Gino O. He is one of my favorites!
+Elliott Manning
hell...he is my fav. I don't agree with him much of the time, but the entire package is there. Just think he covers way more stuff and angles than most.
I suffer from chronic back pain and found the Impala passenger and driver seat to much more comfortable than the Avalon seat.
Itll last longer than the charger .
I’ll always have a soft spot for my old Chevy Lumina (the Impala’s predecessor). It got me through some tough years as I was going through engineering school.
Kinds difficult to say the Lumina was the impala predecessor being that the impala has been offered off and on since the 50s plus they are nothing alike!
I love the IMPALA 😎
I think you should point out that the LaCrosse and XTS have touch-only controls and for drivers who like to keep their eyes on the road that's always going to be a safety issue. Also, it may not be a big deal in CA, but in other parts of the country it may be cold in the morning and hot by midday, so you need to adjust temperature often. The Impala is the only one with knobs for temp control which is faster than holding up/down buttons to change temperature. I've never found AUTO to work right. Dodge vehicles require you to use the touch-screen and dive into menus to change the vent mode. Chevy and some Fords have dedicated buttons.
AMAZING review!! The 'rainman' of auto reviewers...there is no equal to Alex! I was looking at the Impala....now I will check LaCrosse as I trust Alex's opinion. Thanks for covering this car Alex!
you should name this video (A buick lacross review with some impala pictures)
Hey Alex, where was I when you posted this Video? I must of been in a coma. Lol. I have my opinion now of the Impala seeing I bought one last Summer 2017 LT and what sold me was so many attributes that this car offers. Some you pointed out. The Super Interior and Trunk space! The quietness and the comfortable ride. The MPG is damn good for a Full sized car, back up camera, Android Auto now with Satellite View Navigation, 4GLTE, Satellite Radio, and that Pano Roof along with the Great styling especially in the optional Red Tint Coat. These were all the things that attracted me to the car. But when I was able to buy it Brand New off the lot with only 13 miles for $25,500 instead of the retail price of $35K I was sold. For the price of a base midsized, or optioned compact car I got a “Real Car” Before I drove this I test drove the new Camry, Malibu, Accord, Civic, Etc. Nothing was a smooth and quiet and pretty as this Impala for cheaper money.
Thanks for yet another excellent review. I test-drove a '15 Impala back to back with a Cadillac XTS last summer. The handling difference was noticeable; the Cadillac plowed less in the corners and the front end didn't get as bouncy when going over rough pavement & separation strips. Have yet to try a LaCrosse Premium II (with the HiPer strut suspension), but I suspect it will handle much like the XTS.
My front gets bouncy too going over rough roads
Looking to test drive a V6 Camry the dealer didn't have any in stock, so I test drove the 2016 Avalon and it felt too much like I was borrowing my dad's car: it floated between lanes on the highway.
Just got back from a trip over which I had the 2016 LTZ2 Impala as a rental, and I have to say it drove very well. It felt just like my '08 Camry, just with an improved & larger interior.
That backseat is huge!
Got this car as my current rental. Not too bad, but I am praising the colossal trunk
Oh boy! I have a Buick lacrosse 2010 fully loaded and just bought a 2016 impala LT, now that you say that I want another Buick lol but at least its 6 years newer than my Buick lol. Will definitely look at a Buick next
I have a 2015 LT with V6 ,it gets 33 MPG highway. There is efficient design for example the hood is composite, not steel.
Thanks for not wearing dark glasses.
You do great reviews! Thank you!
Superb review!!!! 👍👍👍
you should mention that this is the most reliable non luxury full size sedan
Hey Alex. Great review as always. Are you planning on reviewing the new Volt any time soon? Thanks!
Another great review Alex!!!
I like it. Oh crap! Am I growing up?
I'm 53, thanks
Would the higher end model have more soft touch materials?
Bruh, why you even trying to compare Hyundai, Kia, Toyota to a Chevy?! The charger and the Ford Taurus make sense, but the other cars are no competition
Happy New Year Alex! For such a massive car, the rear headroom is really insufficient and a major design flaw. No wonder the taxi companies are going for the Prius v.
Can you review the 2016 Malibu Premier
are these new impala's as wide and long as the old ones back in the days like 70's and 80's, got one old impala as project car and god damn its huuuugeeee..
Great review Alex, Are you gonna test 2016 Chevy Malibu premiere 2.0 liter turbo soon?
Looks just like my car. Same color and all.
Great review as always .
I like the Impala (especially its' SS cousin) but GM could have sent you a car better equipped. No reflection on the review but there is something lacking about the car that I can't place my finger on.
+Tully3674 I agree, and that's part of why I'd get the Buick instead
Tully3674 it’s the boring color and the fact it’s not an LTZ
Just rented one for a week in Florida and it was able to easily handle all of our luggage. Two carry on's, one full size and 4 backpacks. It was also able to handle 5 people and 5 beach chairs easily.
The driving dynamics were not the best but I've driven worse. All in all not a bad vehicle although the push button manual shifting is silly. Either use a gated shifter or paddles or just remove it.
Great review. I have an Android phone. Does the car supports Android Auto?
Manish Madahar Yes
And again, nothing about the manual mode. I would like to know if the +/- button is as awkward in its usage as has been claimed
You've done a lot on Chrysler and dodge but I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the smaller dodge dart. I've seen many mixed ratings and reviews. Love the Videos!
Thank you for review , but we need another one for nissan maxima for fair compare
Wow fantastic review 👍 perfectly done sir
I think Chevrolet impala is a cool car I have nothing bad to say about it I know I love it
Detailed review and informative well done.
The hard plastic around vents and radio are for durability. Otherwise, very good review.
Thanks for posting this, I am bored to death.
Can you please do your awesome detail review on the new 2016 Ford Explorer limited AWD?
same they gave you a less loaded model i like the LED running lights and the better interior
I rented on which was quite nice. Strange that you can not find a enclosed compartment reachable from driver that stores a regular sized iPad.
This confirms what we've known for 60 years; you simply get more for your money with the Buick. GM spends billions on the platform, and then sells it three different ways. They slather on the glitz in the Caddy and over charge for it, and they decontent the interior in the Chevy and sell it cheap. But in the Buick you get it all for reasonable money. That said, in the competition only one other car has any real character or soul - the Charger. It and the 300 are the only ones that stir any emotions in me.
Soul, see Alfa Romeo Giulia. ;)
Nice work - very informative
Mr. Alex
I would like to thank you in what you are doing 'reviewing cars.' It makes it easy for us as customers to find out what we really want.
But I really hope that you make a review about the 2016 Toyota Avalon. I heard it has a different suspension compare to the 2015 model!
I am waiting for your response
Thanks
U should have reviewed the premier
RIP chevrolet impala and caprice
Caprice has been gone since late 90s. Impala lives on til January if not another stay of execution. Originally supposed to drop production in March.
Alex, I am curious as to why you did this review after doing one on the 2014 model Impala? Did Chevy make some changes that you didn't mention?
I'm thinking of buy a used 16' Chevy Impala.
Merry Christmas Alex :-)
I watched both your review of the 2014 and the 2016 and the outcome of parts of the review was slightly different. Interesting. :)
hi alex i recently discover your channel and i like the detailed reviews u do, can u please review 2016 avalon they have fix the suspension i am really confused between it and the maxima thank you.
What suspension did they they fix the impala or have Avalon
I disagree about the EPS vs old school hydraulic power steering, in almost every case EPS has a VERY disconnected feel when driving at any speed. The difference is VERY noticeable even among ordinary drivers.
so we didn't mention the avalon because it's not American? in sure he mentioned it as he's always detailed but I guess I wanted a comparison beyond a luxury brand and mentions of car (charger) that have a different purpose in mind
We need to bring back the truly large big cubic inch v8 ( 7 plus litres) American car a classy car made of steel wood leather and chrome
May you review the 2018 Ford Taurus?
Wouldn't the Chevy SS count as a direct competitor to the Dodge Charger? ;-)
+victor bozzo It would if Chevy hadn't killed it off, there is no 2016 SS
Alex on Autos, I just built a 2016 online. I did hear that this is the last year which is a shame because it really is a STEAL for what you get plus the coolness of looking so subtle yet having all that power. The ULTIMATE sleeper! :)
www.chevrolet.com/ss-sports-sedan.html
+victor bozzo Interesting! GM claims to have ended production so I'm not sure if that means these are just the remnants or maybe they decided to stay the execution. I have to say however, I'd probably still buy the Chrysler 300 or the Buick LaCrosse over the Impala or SS (obviously depending on the logic for wanting a RWD car)
+Alex on Autos Yeah, there are a list of changes for 2016 I've read on the internet. I think it may be gone after that, though.
+Bruno TaTa Long live the Chevy SS - at least until the day the Charger comes with a manual.
Why didn't you review the 2LTZ?
love it
Beautiful car.
What about the Ford Taurus
Huh???? Kbb rated this as the best full size sedan
Don't Let Me Down
alex your the man
Dope!! I sleep in my trunk ! It big
Charger/300 v6 is standard and gets better highway milage, offer AWD, RWD standard, nicer cars, better priced. Chevy really blew it on this turd.
Chrysler 300 has had the same cheap interior since 2011. here we are, 2020, and the 300 interior is still the same after 9 years.
If they mad it a v8 I would have gotten one miss my chevy's
How do u like your charger ?
Sounds like the Buick Lacrosse is better
is this the lt or the ls?
More then likely an lt
Alex is fantastic ... car... not soo much
this has been voted the best or one of the best big sedans in modern times. Explain how it isn't a good car
@@clayzr4716 yeah I've seen it also being one of the top selling sedans in 2019!
Damn he speaks fast
Fun Fact: my name is Alex!
IMO...your missed wordings and comparisons tell me one thing...the Taurus IS the better car. You steer clear of it in much of your review here...and if you did bring it it, it would win.curious why, when you talk about this cars trunk and rear seat space or even engines, you never bring in the Taurus. It is the better comparison. And the Taurus 4 turbo is better at...everything.
FWD vs AWD...always seems to come up in review. But why, really, when comparing these large sedans? Who would ever want the rear to come out when driving? Would 1 percent of the buyers? But 100 percent would want the interior space and weather safety of FWD.
Having driven the Taurus in the Ozarks, it handles just terrific on the mountain's curvy roads.
To...this car is really a cheap Buick. And it screams it. The side IS the Buick.
Taurus wins, especially with the prices in real life. It is always on sale and offers are great.
2017 chevy impala 40000 millas my screen not working 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Aw, I haven't had the same sort of luck. Two weeks ago I was on holiday with the impala as my rental (I'm 13, my dad drives), the handling was awful (imo) and we the steering kept jerking about non-violently we ended up in Yosemite half way into a tree, because of that jerky steering. Broke my arm as well😕
Same thing with my 2017 Malibu the handing jerks and steering is loose
Well your dad probably cant drive. I've driven them and stayed on the road. The steering is fine
@@nicholasmenasian1142 jerks how??
Domestic cars should be cheaper than their competitors
...but what about Chevy reliability?......> crickets
The reliability is very good TBH my mom drives a 2014 Chevy impala had it for almost two years and never had any issues with it ..
Dang, could have ran that car through a car wash firast. looks like you're bajaing that car. :(
I Dnt like the impala. I only liked the space but rude and handling choice would be the lacrosse. I heard a bit to much road noise for my liking. Also that steering wheel looks horrible, it's ugly and makes the interior looks cheap and old.
Let's not forget, this car crosses the price boundary of the Hyundai Genesis, which is miles ahead of this turd.
+Nick Scott Yes, a lower end Genesis would be my choice for the same money. They look great in person on the lot.
+Bruno TaTa
You are right. There's one parked in front of my house and it looks stunning. I had to do a double-take. It easily blends in the same class as the Germans; even better looking than the 5 series.
+Nick Scott, You're exactly right and the gorgeous looking Genesis even comes with AWD in the V6 and a base price of 39k,.
It would have been pretty difficult to design an uglier interior than this.
Please stop calling it full size. It's not even as big as a mid size car from the 60's
It's a relative, LaCrosse & Impala are the biggest cars on Buick and Chevy lots.
IT IS FULL SIZE
Paul Cheek listen to this old fool
Vehicle sizing standards have changed since the 60s old man
@@clayzr4716 yes, everything is small and they lie saying its full size, sad. I'll take a true full size car any-day....
Bl as h. Blah blah
I don't like this car because to be so big why front wheel drive also is the Chevy its cars are proven to be breaking down after 80000 miles from my experience and I honestly don't like the way it looks
I saw your review for the 2014 Impala and you weren't that fat, I'm not saying it's a bad thing I'm saying at least hit the gym bro
