Still Love my Impala!
Not sure what the complaints are about. This car is a pleasure to drive. I drive a combination of driving and get 24 mpg. The 300hp is amazing! Smooth acceleration and great braking. I don't know about others but I have no problems with parking, good turning radius. The car rides and handles well. As for pricing, I bought the car with 21.4k miles and paid $11900. It is a LT model and was a rental out of Montana. It has tinted windows and a sunroof. As far as handling, I find it to handle quite well for the size of car that it is. My personal opinion is that it's a great car and a great value. I’ve owned the car now for 3 years now and I’m still quite happy with the car. Only two problems I’ve had is a wheel speed sensor and a hvac control module and door motor for the heating/ cooling system had to be replaced. All covered by my extended warranty. I would still recommend the car. Now after 4 years of ownership I’m still very happy with the car. Other then the couple of items listed above I’ve had no problems with the car. It’s been a very dependable car and would still recommend it. I would agree with a few other reviews that the front seats are a little flat and don’t wrap around you but for me that’s a minor issue considering the reliability and value of the vehicle. So now I’ve had the impala for 5 years. It’s still a great car. Still no problems. Will be putting new brakes on it soon but I have over 75000 on the original pads. Other then a new set of tires and oil changes I’ve done nothing else to the car. I would still highly recommend this car.

Didn't want one..
..but at 6'3" I couldn't fit in a mid-sized sedan w/ the center consoles. I am very glad to have stumbled on to it, bought 10 months ago w/ 55K. It is very comfortable and gets very good mileage especially on the highway. The 3.6 has a TON of power, especially on the highway in passing or merging situations. It is slightly more sluggish from stop signs than my 3.1 V6s were, but not a problem. It parks and turns as sharply as my previous mid-sized sedans. it's strong suit is out on the highway where is tracks like a champ and often gets over 30 mpg. The cloth seats are the best and most comfortable I've ever had. The suspension is a little on the stiff side, almost like a 'Sport' model. But it still has a good 'ride'.

'Ol guy loves it
Fused spine, so getting in is a little tough as the vehicle sits low. I've added "Blind Spot" mirrors to both sideview mirrors ; It helps a lot. This car will burn the fort tires from a dead stop; Acceleration is not a problem. The transmission does take a little to long in shifting from 1st to second. Likewise, it hesitates on downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. The 'air recirculating' button is hard for me to find without taking my eyes off the road. I've put almost 4k on it since I bought it. Rain, snow or ice has not been a problem for me in WI. The auto traction control works as it should. I'd to have fog lights!

Blind Spots
This car has blind spots. If you are shorter and need to move the seat forward for driving the headrest on the both the passenger and driver make it difficult for lane changes. The mirrors out need to be redesigned because you can't see when a car is in the lane next you when it is between the rear of your car and the back door. I have purchased addition mirrors to help with these problems because I nearly caused two accidents because of poor visibility. Other than that I love the car.

great medium sized car from Chev.
We bought our 2012 Impala used in 2015. Overall, it has been a very dependable car. For a mid sized car, the ride is very comfortable and the handling is very good. I call it mid sized because that's what it is compared to the full sized Chev Impalas that used to be. It has the standard features like cruise; tilt; A.C.; power windows and locks; and a few others, which is all one needs in an automobile. The more electronics you have , the more to go wrong. And over time, electronics will give you issues. With the six speed tranny and 302 H.P. V6, I get 43 miles per gallon with the cruise set at 113 km. per hour., if there is not much of a headwind. And, more than enough get up and go at any speed. I would buy another one.
