When I bought my 2012 Chevrolet Malibu, it had only 15,000kms on it. The vehicle was very low maintenance., gave me a smooth ride., handled nicely & I had no trouble parking the vehicle (due to its size). Just before 2018 I noticed rusting. It first started over the rear wheels, then progressed very rapidly along the driver's door., which cause a huge piece of the door to come off. I had the car checked over by a guy who specializes in detailing & he advised me not to spend the money fixing up the rust.. It would cost too much & the rust would only return. When doing some research it was stated that GM didn't drill holes in the bottom of the doors to enable water to escape, & they failed to use a sealant. No wonder cars were rusting. I bought a newer vehicle in 2020 which meant I only got 8yrs out of my Impala. Whenever I see a person with a 2012 Impala I advise them of what they could be facing. I take my 2018 Malibu to a very well known rust protection company to help ensure that the possibility of rusting is deterred. Frankly I did love my 2012 Impala; but where my 2018 Chevrolet Malibu is concerned, I like it, but don't love it.

Pro: It's large. Cons: Everything else. Aside from it's generic overall design, and terribly poor road handling, the Impala is very generic in both design and feel. Even with a fully loaded LTZ, I can't help but feel disappointed, and honestly a little embarrassed every time I drive this car. After all this IS used heavily as a fleet vehicle, and not only that, everyone seems to own one (why? I'll never know). Pulling this vehicle into a parking spot is near impossible on the first try- same with just about every oversized vehicle GM pumps out. Be prepared to feel every bump in the pavement too, as well as intense body lean in about every corner. Do yourself a favor don't buy this car
