Best vehicle I found for the $$$

2016 Chevrolet Impala LTZ 4dr Sedan w/2LZ (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
24 of 25 people found this review helpful

I did a ton of research online before making my decision. I considered every large sedan below $40,000 and found that the LTZ was the best car that I could buy. When I finally saw it in person it confirmed my choice. The car is filled with all of the latest technology if properly equipped and has more than enough room for 5 people with a huge trunk. Power is more than adequate though the transmission is a little busy hunting for the right gear. It just takes some getting used to as its trying to maximize fuel economy. The RemoteLink app is a brilliant piece of work. The ability to safely start your car then send it your next destination saves time and is just downright cool. Search for an in-stock top-of-the-line model to find the best value for the money. Looks like the other reviewers may have had a bad sales experience but no such complaints here

3 X Lucky

This is my 3rd Impala since 2004. I traded the 04 just a few yrs. ago for a pre-owned 2013. (All I had done to besides regular service , was brakes, and tires once, traded it with150,000 miles). Then bought a pre-owned 2013 LTZ. ( Besides regular service and a set of tires ) traded it with 65,000 miles on it for a 2016 model. I have had this one for a week and love it! Averaging 24 mpg in city! ( with a V6 ) Looks and drives great, with plenty of room (I am 6'2" ). Looking forward to my road trip next month. I have either been 3X lucky or these are just great cars.

Very nice, I came out of a CTS which I liked a lot , I like this at lest as much for $20,000 less. Had the car now for 18 months and like it as much now as then have had not problems. Two year now and absolutely love it. Had no problems at all.

I got all options and it almost requires a co-pilot to learn and operate all functions. Technology is off the charts. Plug in a USB drive loaded with music and the sound is amazing. Say "play Sounds of Silence"... the song plays. Say " play Leon Bedbone" .... all Redbone songs que-up and begin playing. Say call Joe... car asks "cell or home?" Then dials your choice from your cell phone, no monthly charge. The 8 inch navigation also works without subscription. Set cruise control, car slows as you approach car in front of you and resumes as he speeds up, keeping you at a chosen distance without touching controls. Car in front slams on breaks.... Impala breaks automatically. Warning lights on side view mirror if someone in the blind spot. Lane departure warning. The list goes on and on. The only negative I found is: 1.) no aux input for radio anymore but I guess everything is Bluetooth now. 2.) No SD card slot. but for $10 you can but a USB drive with a SD card slot and there are at least 2 USB ports. I would also say the ride noise level is a touch higher than say a Lexus or Mercedes but with the radio on and an extra $10,000 in my pocket to absorb sound, I don't hear a thing. The fuel economy is better than EPA rating and the 305 HP v-6 gets to 60 mph in about 6 seconds!!!

I have owned 2007 Impala LTZ and before that 2000 Impala. I love the car so I keep getting a newer version. I am a Chevy guy and think its as good as it gets with the Impala LTZ.

I highly recommend. This is my 5th Impala, and this is the best of the bunch. A luxury ride and feel, and pleather interior. Cloth in part of the seats for added breathability. Great steering and brakes. Radio display takes a little getting used to. View out the rear window is just adequate. Many other features to like such as smooth transmission, turn signals on rear view mirrors, great sounding radio with XM, comfortable seats. Everything that counts is included with this package. 2 yrs later and my review remains the same. Very pleased.

Not impressed

6 of 6 people found this review helpful

Car looked great on the lot and it was a certified pre-owned with a good warranty and only 8,000 miles for almost 15k below the new car cost. That's where the "wow" wore off. The Impala rides too harsh and unsettled for the flagship of the Chevy lineup and twin to the Buick lacrosse and Caddy XTS. Getting in and out literally bruises my hip because the seat belt has a hard piece sticking out at the side of the seat. I keep turning the radio off and every time I get back in the car it's on again. The a/c automatically lowers everytime you make or receive a phone call, even if it's 100 degrees outside. The autostop function is a nuisance because the car bucks and jumps at every stop light/stop sign and I doubt it's really saving that much fuel. Some of the interior bits are cheapy/flimsy. I have the upgraded LT and it has fabric/plastic seats, the Chysler 300 costs the same and gives you real leather and a V6 that gets about the same mpg's as Impala's 4 cylinder??? I think I made a mistake. The Impala also sits way to low, I keep scraping up the front end. I'm just not impressed.

Bought my 2016 Chevy Impala in June. I fell in love with its bold and sporty looks. I like big cars and the Impala is nice an roomy. Great V6 Engine with solid performance and I get great gas mileage. I had a Chevy Malibu LT prior and I wish the Impala LT had ambient lighting in the dashboard like my Malibu did. Overall I love my car but... After just under 4 months my left brake/ turn signal light went out. Never had that happen in a brand new car. Periodically my park brake light comes on when I get in a start my car. I know that I didn't hit the button. My radio has turned off by itself, never froze or anything just shut off. Twice my interior lights didn't come on when I hit my keyfob to unlock my doors and even after I opened the door to get in the car. My sunshade stops on its own when I hit the button to close it. As much as I love my new car all these little bugs makes me nervous that I will have long term or other major issues down the road.

I've read reviews here and it seems all the whiners bought the LS which I never go near a base model of any brand, they are all built to do the bare minimum . I spent the money on the LTZ and couldn't be happier, the V6 has 305 hp which just moves when needed, and the fit and finish is amazing compared to the 2007 impala I traded in. I bought the interior with the black leather and beautiful brown stitching. The rear view camera, lane departure, blind spot warning, and collision alert are all fantastic. I highly recommend this car if you are willing to spend the money.

This Impala is a 2016 LTZ, not a 2017, but I really see no difference between the 2016 LTZ and the 2017 Premier. This LTZ has everything but a sunroof which I did not want. From the performance to the safety features, you will not be disappointed. The LTZ has stock 20" wheels and while some drivers think they're noisy, I found they performed fine on dry and wet pavement without noticeable noise on a recent 1300 mile trip. A great interstate cruiser, it got 29.7 MPG running at 75-85 MPH, all the while the tach was parked around only 1800-2000 rpm. I look forward every morning to turning over the engine in this sweet machine. Chevrolet OnStar tells me an oil change is almost due to lots of city driving, after driving it about 4,000 miles in 6-7 months. The basic OnStar service notification is a great reminder when specific mechanical preventive maintenance is scheduled to be performed as well as checks current system status, all sent to my email. The convenience of the communications, navigation, adaptive cruise control, assisted parking ae features whicvh get used every day. This one's a keeper!

When my car unexpectedly died last month, I was thrown into the car market. I typically take a long time to decide, but this time, I needed a car. Immediately, I found the best car for the best price. The Impala has the highest Consumer Reports rating for a non-luxury sedan. It beats all Camrys and Accords, everybody. Then, in the month of June, GM offered 20% cash back on Impalas. 20%!!! The Impala I bought is loaded: V6 engine, Navigation, Leather Seats, Sunroof, Adaptive Cruise Control, 20" Wheels. Sticker was $41,720. After all the discounts, I paid $30.750 !!! Thank you GM! In the first six months and 13,000 miles of owning my brand new 2016 Impala, I have had a bad gas tank sensor, a failure in the power steering computer, and a one-time an air intake warning. All covered under warranty, but not the rock solid reliability new car buyers dream of. On the other hand, the trunk is even more caverness than first perceived. It almost acts like station wagon for storage space.

I also had a 2008 Impala LT and this 2016 Impala is heads and tails better than the 2008 I really like the look of the LT and everything that comes with it if you are looking for a smart looking car buy one of these you will love it .Only gripe is the glove box is too small will not allow the manual to fit without a major trial and error I got a folder and keep all my important papers in trunk

Excellent ride and handling. Gas mileage around 23MPG. Go with the V6. the power is greater, and the MPG is about the same as the four cylinder. This vehicle rides like a luxury car. without the high price tag and need for premium fuel.

I bought this brand new after owning a 2005 brand new. This thing rides like a caddie.. But the reason I felt compelled to write this is the tires. 19" low profile sport. Spring/summer/fall driving is awesome. BUT>>>>>>>> Do not buy this car if you live in a snow zone, and you are going to use it in the snow. The tires are trash is snow, and those sexy rims, constantly get build up and cause vibrations on the road. So if you are looking for this used (the midnight edition is sharp!!) take this into consideration.

Bought brand new in 2016, 28,000 miles later, zero problems, great styling, 30 mpg on hwy., 19-20 mpg in town. Really like all the technology and safety features, very comfortable car, drives nice, gets lots of compliments about the styling. Tires will need to be replaced soon. Tire life is the only negative about this car. Bought car at Suburban Chevrolet in Sandy, OR, very pleasant buying experience and good service in their service department.

This is my fourth Impala and definitely the best. I previously owned a 2000,2003,2012, and now the 2016 LTZ. I'm looking forward to trading this one in for a 2020 next year, possible the last Impala Chevy will make. The technology is amazing. I'm still learning new things, even after three years. Nothing is perfect so here are a few of the cons: 1. There is still some minor jerking in the transmission, but not as bad as past years. 2. The gps/navigation system is a nightmare, not user friendly at all. 3. The tachometer is completely useless in a car like this, the space on the dash could be put to much better use. 4. Never could get the "garage door opener feature" to work, finally gave up trying. Hopefully Chevy will have resolved some of these problems in the 2020.

Impala is so bad in snowy weather. Will need winter tires ( added expense ) if you live in the Midwest. Car slips all over the roads. GM shouldn't put high performance tires on this car. BEWARE All impala's leave dealer with low profile tires!! Winter tires help but not by much. Front tires are too far forward on such a large car. Makes it harder for the car to pull its weight around. Very fast car though. Looks terrific. Fuel Pump failed twice. Left me stranded twice. Paint has chipped away at the front end leaving an unsightly black mark the size of my fist. GM Dealership didn't want to pay for paint repair under warranty. BEWARE Car has VERY cheap paint. Way too many cost cutting measures by GM. GM hasn't changed a bit over the years! Next time I'm getting a Honda Accord.

Came out of a Chrysler 300 with constant trans problems, Only owned the Impala LTZ for two months now but so far is a great car, I got it fully loaded for a fantastic price, I had always owned Mopars but bought a Camaro last year for Christmas so when the trans went on my 2014 Chrysler 300 this was a logical choice, Just wish they had brought back the name of ( Caprice) instead of continuing to call it an Impala, lots of bad vibes attributed to that name. Time will tell how it handles on the rain and snow, I have read there are some problems there with traction. Also had some problems with service dept. at my dealer, not very professional, but that is an easy fix just changed where I will get it serviced. All in all I am very satisfied with the power and luxury of this auto, will write more if that changes....One thing I have notices as I do a lot of highway driving is rock chips, the paint does not seem to hold up to rocks being thrown up on the highway, never had this problem with my Chryslers, I also have a 2015 Camaro that I 3Md with clear plastic on the spots prone to rock chips, wish I had done to my Impala. I never noticed that the back seat map lights did not work (well one does one does not) they can not be seen from the front seat, only noticed when I had occupants in the rear tell me. Will be taking in to dealer to repair also have a recall on the car for an incorrect fuse determination for the auto trunk release. lets see how this goes,

First month in low-mileage pre-owned 2016 Impala

Excellent vehicle overall. Attractive exterior design, strong engine paired with solid 6-speed transmission, decent fuel mileage on regular fuel, comfortable leather heated seats, lots of leg and head room, accessible controls. Major pluses: excellent interior room--I am 6'7" tall and have great head and leg room; the suite of safety features are noteworthy including backup camera, lane departure warning, cross traffic alert and front traffic safety alert when following too close. Minus: low profile tires are noisy (Goodyear R/S P245 45R19). Hope new tires will reduce noise when purchased in future. Eight months, 24,000 miles, several long trips, very pleased. Hwy mileage averaged 32 MPG on regular gas on recent 1,700 mile drive. Very comfortable on long drives--responsive drive train, long wheel base creates smooth ride, large trunk and backseat provides excellent storage, safety features were useful and appreciated. I upgraded my overall rating to a "Five". 14 month update: 28,800 miles. Performed well on a recent 2,200 mile trip, 31 MPG, no mechanical problems noted during trip or subsequent routine oil change and inspection. Will check new noise when turning wheel to right. Still rate a “5” overall. 20 month update: 38,500 miles. Still 5-star rating. No mechanical problems; performance, gas mileage, driving comfort, safety features all remain excellent. Big plus: I can install two large child car seats in back seat and still have comfortable riding position for both front seat passengers. 31 month review: at 49,500 miles, I remain highly satisfied. Just replaced original four tires at at 48,500. Only routine maintenance required. Vehicle is safe, reliable, comfortable, functional and fuel efficient (24.1 MPG combined over life of car). I downgraded my ratings for reliability and value in April 2020, due to unexpected major maintenance. I had to replace a leaking A/C compressor at 51K miles. The mechanic replaced the master drive belt at same time while engine was open. Total cost about $1,700. The Impala is still a smooth-driving vehicle, but that early repair expense earned the downgrade. Aug 2020: Major repair again to AC system, approx cost $1,800. Several coins slipped through the vent holes on top of the drivers side dashboard and short circuited the electrical wiring for (engine compartment area) air conditioning. Not the fault of the car; more the result of careless storage of pocket change. A different design for the vents (A screen covering?) might have prevented the loose coin fiasco. This was originally a program car so the coins may have been there since 2016. I downgraded reliability to a “three”.

Drive on city roads and highway before you buy

Got this as a rental thinking I was getting a good car. First thing is I hit my head getting in (I am only 5,8) visibility is poor being blocked by the rear view mirror on the front, head rest on the side and a very narrow rear window. It lacks power, the engine sounds like it is constantly struggling under the slightest attempt to accelerate, the transmission is constantly downshifting and up-shifting. It feels like it gets stuck between gears before finally completing the shift. I only drive in manual now. Throttle response is slow. Minor things: the center console cover is difficult to open, the drink holders are too small, back up camera picture is fuzzy, the electronic manual shifter is located on top of the gear shift so if you happen to rest your hand on it the car will inadvertently change gears. Positives: the seat is comfortable and I like the way it handles on back roads. I would not buy this car.

I had owned a Mercury Montego (just like the Ford 500) which by far was the most comfortable sedan I have every owned. But it came with electrical issues and transmission problems. So I checked all good size sedans out there and the Impala was the best substitute I could find. Nice quiet, comfortable ride, with a great instrument panel. The 4-cylinder was more than adequate. Not as easy getting in and out of but OK. One major complaint is rear visibility. One minor complaint, owners manuel comes with no nice case and even without it does not fit in any front seat compartments (including the glove box). All in all a great car. After six months of driving car continues to be the best value not only in price but in reliability. After owning it for a number of years and with 28,000 miles on it I have found it to be a reliable vehicle with no problems. I continue to enjoy how comfortable both the front and rear seats are especially on long trips. I’m sorry GM will no longer make them. I would consider getting a new one in a few years even though poor rear visibility is still an annoyance

We have had to have the Bluetooth fixed aand the side detection right side mirror fixed in the 3 weeks we have had the car. The navigation panel was blank for 3 times one day. I cleaned the interior dash area of the car, now the CD info screen is on the info screen and I can not find a way to get rid of it and get the original info screen back. I find a lot of blind spots. Can't see around the outside mirrors going around corners.

Over Priced for cheap electronics and a plastic

The plastic wood grain finish is cheesy, many cheap electronics in this car just to jack up the price. The engine and transmission are decent and the best thing about this car. The car is noisy at higher speeds. Did I mention the cheap electronics to jack up the price, ridiculous! A smart phone or a Garmin is a better option for navigation. Cheap electronics don't make the car safer GM. It's the person driving the car! The car has an excellent look from the outside. Very eye catching.

Shop around other makes. Didn't come equip,with auto start,rear view camera, and safety warning systems that other cars are coming out with. So shop for better safety features, that are available on other brands. General Motors, has become very tight on giving customers a complete package. You have purchase all the items at extra cost to you. So make sure you take the time to look carefully at what your buying. This car doesn't keep it's value. It drops almost five thousand dollars when you leave the dealership. I just checked it out on the car dealers site, and I'm very disappointed with this purchase I made, I feel stupid. Be careful not to be rushed by the car salesman,if they do it to you. Then say thank you for your time and leave. Never go too late at night,because you will be rushed. GOOD luck.

Not everything's included be sure you get what you want- the car floats across the highway the ride is very smooth- getting in and out of the driver's seat could be very difficult for people taller than 6-foot-after 1 year of owning this vehicle, nothing has changed-the ride is fabulous/happy with the economy & comfort-while it doesn't have navigation I am roughing it with my cell 18 months later I am still very happy with this vehicle. 2 1/2 years later it is still the vehicle I purchased-nothing has changed. Dependability/comfort & a touch of class n luxury-affordable3 1/2 years later n still loving it-it is now October/2024 & the Impala LTZ has become my daily driver with currently 93566 miles-the vehicle is performing just as I expected, doing general maintenance of brakes n tires. As I & the car get older, I have purchased a car warranty to ease the pain of future repairs, (100K) is right around the corner & I am betting GM didn't figure this car would last this long-still love the vehicle n how it performs.

2016 Impala--one of the best I have owned

wonderful car--hold backs are: 1----6 spd. transmission shifting is hard to get used to --supposed to be adaptive to driver. 2---wondered if transmission was working correctly--took to dealership for check--they only said drove 15 miles and worked fine. found out later--trans. specialist won't work on any car under warranty--oh well. still enjoyed the car. 3---new paint designs drew me to car--love the midnight mist blue---but had door dings repaired---due to type of paint--cost was over $1000 for 2 dings --one on door and one on body--caused that entire section to be painted--looks great but cost was OUCH.

Uncomfortable

This is one of the least comfortable cars that I have ever driven. There are multiple ergonomic problems. First, the headrests ridiculously far forward. They push your head and neck forward putting strain on your neck. Half an hour behind the wheel and you will have a headache for the rest of the day. Next, the center console is too tall and too far forward and is not adjustable. With your hands on the steering wheel and 9 and 3, it is impossible to turn right without going through a series of elbow contortions. This is unsafe. If an emergency right turn were necessary it might not be possible. Third, the view in the rear view mirror is restricted to a small sliver. The rear parcel shelf is so high that it is barely possible to see the roof of the car following. The interior materials are cheap, but this is a rental car, so that is to be expected. However, a $30,000 car should at least have a leather wrapped steering wheel, not one made of foam rubber.

First time to own an Impala. Purchased a 2016 and I love it! It feels and looks like a luxury car on the interior but the exterior is sporty. I would definitely buy another Impala Premium. It’s the closest to a Cadillac without the price tag! It drives and rides great. It’s the most favorite of all the cars I have previously owned, including a Lincoln Town Car.

Has Been A Fantastic Car Since 31k mileage

I would like to give the car a 4.5 because it's almost perfect, Which car is right moving along the car is very roomy and very fun to drive especially in manual mode. I purchased the car with 31k miles on it and now I am at 96k. Most costly thing I have had to do to it is Tires and brakes and along with resurfacing the rotors other then that the car has been fantastic. This car has seen mostly high way miles because of my route to and from work its mostly on the highway. This car has seen plenty of road trips mostly across the west coast and southwest parts of the country. Features are there for the most part, charging ports for smartphones inside armrest and below where cigarette lighter sits. Many have stated blind spots I have to agree, I am a tall drive 6'5 and noticed sometimes blind spots in the car, especially looking over my right should and looking all the way back out the rear window, the back seats sit high so it makes it a bit hard to see out the back window. Overall all the car is packed with many great features and plenty of power, with 305 horses it makes for passing easy and moving quickly a breeze. For the price I have paid for the car, I most certainly feel that I have been given my monies worth, the car continues to perform well and strong, no transmission issues no major issue it really has been a great car, Oh and I try my best not to drive her hard, she has been a very good car to own and I continue to enjoy driving the care daily. New tires New oil Change Resurfaced rotors is the only thing I have had to do to here. Oh can't forget new wind shield wipers. Its super roomy inside being 6'5 I sit comfortable inside and sometimes getting out can't be a bit fun but nothing you can't get use to. rear passenger seat are super comfortable and roomy as well, road trips in this machine have been fantastic and fun. Great value in this car and I do take care of mines. Thanks for reading my review. enjoy......

After 19 months and 25,000 the car is about what I expected (not exciting but comfortable), other than gas mileage is better. Not quite like the 4 cylinder Hondas I used to drive but around 29mpg combined, much better than the 22 advertised. 31 months, 40,000 miles. No problems. 79 months. 80,000 miles. Still like it. Too bad they don't make Impalas anymore 8 years, 97,000 miles. No problems. Virtually no maintenance needed.

Comfortable ride, plenty of pep, good fuel millage. I have 70,000 kms as of December 8th 2024 and I absolutely love this silver 8ce metallic paint job. Plenty of HP under the hood 315hp is plenty for a FWD vehicle and this car is a testament to that. Long trips high comfort I can drive for ten hours get to my destination and feel good enough to keep going. All and all I have a great Impala and with only 70,000 kms on it I won't plan on selling it anytime soon.
