Nice car but not really an upgrade from a Malibu
The Impala is worlds better than big American sedans of yesteryear, but unless you need a big back seat, I'd stick with the Malibu, which is more agile, and has a better interior. The front seats of the Impala are comfortable for highway cruising and if you are a fat dude they offer a wide seat pan. But for the rest of us, especially if you are used to a Japanese or Euro sedan, these seats are lousy when cornering, as they offer zero ( and I mean zero) lateral support. You may as well be sitting at a bus stop. Also the design of the front compartment means the space around your body and legs is closed in, and feels less roomy than my 2015 Malibu. The engine is meek at low revs, but nail it and the v6 growls and responds nicely. Plenty of passing power! Just don't do that around a curve because although the suspension can handle it, those flat wide seats cannot, and you'll be slammed against the door. Gas mileage was okay in a few days of mostly highway driving-- low to mid 20's. if you really need a big back seat and trunk in an American sedan, this is a nice vehicle and a good value. Otherwise stick with a Malibu, or ( for my money) a Honda Accord.

Disappointed
I purchased the 2017 Impala lt.I had test driven three other Impalas.The ride was very good.The one that I have is worst riding car that I have ever had.I does not smooth out bumps on streets or highways.I find myself bracing for bumps.All the reviews that read ( including Edmund's ) talked about how smooth the ride was.That is not the case for the one that I have.I am very very disappointed.

Disappointed
Defective AC evaporator core after 4 years $$$$ . Trunk leaks in water , common problem with Impalas . Hole in flex pipe after 2 years $$$$. Bad shock absorber $$. Road noise is high . Goes like heck with the V6 and handles well
Bad dash design
You can see the design and the stitching in the windshield certain times during the day time and it can make you car sick. We only have 2000 mi. On the car and we are read to get rid of it. Poor design by GM.
