Car Review: Chevy Impala

I drove the Impalla for a week long trip in Denver, CO.
It can be found here: Impala

The weather ranged from 60s and sun to 32 and snow.
Here is a rough Map of my travels which totaled for the week about 80 or so miles.

I don't normally rent a "standard"size car, as I'm sure you can tell by my blog, however this week I would have some co-workers with me and needed the space. I do like the overall handling of a bigger car, so it was nice to have that from the get go. Also upon arrival in Denver, the wind was AMAZING! So I was truly glad to have a larger vehicle with a better stance.

Seen here at the Doubletree Denver Tech, the Impala does have a cretin mix of slick, and grandpa all in one. This combination is again evident in the interior touches.

As seen here, the false wood grain, and simple layout is pleasing to the eye, while hearkening back to a day long ago, and far away. It is a mix of old fashioned and sleek "new" designs.
 One of the small touches that I found enjoyable and nice to look at is the simple chrome ring around each of the dials, topping off a very clean looking dash.

So I rented the larger car for more space, how did it do?
We had three people with three large suitcases and three backpacks, and all was well with the world. Plenty of trunk space, and a roomy interior as well.

 So how did it do overall? Well It was quick, big enough for what we needed, a decent turning radius for a bigger car, had remote start (thank you!) and over all was a great car. However.... One issue that would cause me to go absolutely crazy was the drivers seat. You see, there is lumbar support... WAY TO MUCH lumbar support, so much that I felt as though I was going to slide forward off of the seat. So simple fix right? Find the lumbar toggle, switch, or slider and adjust it! WRONG.... zero adjustments... that's right, you see the factory knows how much lumbar support you need, and they have it all set up for you just right, all you have to do is get used to it. Now, I'm sure that this is an issue related to the trim level that the rental CO had purchased, and I'm sure most units will have the ability to adjust this setting. If they don't, beware, and check the seat prior to purchase! So overall I would give this car a 4 of 5. It's a decent price 25K ish new, and with around 30MPG, it's a lot of car for that kind of MPG!! (see my Nissan Versa Review)
Also, honestly if all I have to whine about is the seat, what am I going on about?

So let's try something here: PLEASE COMMENT!!
Do you own an Impala?
Is the seat an issue?
Did you find this useful?
Do you have questions about my week with the car?
