Default 2014 + Chevy Impala

Anyone own a 2014 or newer Impala?
I think the first one I saw that I liked was in the Capt America Winter Soldier movie 2014....before the winter soldier (Bucky) tore it apart while good guy's driving on the highway...lol
Pros & cons?
Thx

When they first came out Consumer Reports thought it was one of the best GM cars they've ever tested. Ranked it higher than several Japanese makes IIRC.
I like it too and am considering a new Malibu which is almost a twin.

We rented one in Florida a couple of years ago and we loved it. Just a great overall vehicle. It had the six cylinder. If it was available in AWD I would consider buying one.

Decent looking, very roomy, comfortable, huge truck, very reliable, relatively low cost - what's not to like?

We bought them for work- a lot of companies did. Reliable and comfortable and resale is basically nothing so you should be able to get a good price on them. We literally get like $2500 when we traded them in

I test drove one (100 miles) in 2014. Loved it ! Still trying to wear out the 2011 we have.

But my daughter bought a new one in 2015. It had some electrical problems that 3 different dealers could NOT figure out. There's always a lemon somewhere. She traded it for a ferd.

We have a 2015 Impala LTZ. 30,000 miles on it. We replaced the tires at 26k and have done nothing else except oil changes. The car rides well, great pickup, great highway car. My only complaint is that you sit a little bit low. My daily driver is a Suburban, so that’s really not a good comparison. The car is a keeper and I’d highly recommend.

2016 LTZ, now. Third one. Good and reliable. Good power at 300 hp. Good mileage, roomy and comfortable. Cheap to buy as many in rental car companies used them.

I am not a Chevy guy. First car after Pontiac went away. Drove a new model. Okay. Too many whiz bang fractures. Not as bad as foreign though.
