Took my Milan into the shop today for a new bumper and fender and everything (Damn deer).
Renting a 2012 Impala for the week and my overall impression so far:
PROS
CONS
Renting a 2012 Impala for the week and my overall impression so far:
PROS
- 300HP V6 has loads of power
CONS
- Uncomfortable seat
- Confusion controls. You apparently cannot turn off A/C if you have it set to coldest?
- Stupid triangular wing mirrors
- No markings on gear shift, you have to look at the dash (which sucks if the wheel is turned and obscuring your view). Huge blank oval surrounding the gear shift
- Steering is too stiff
- Ride quality down
- Trademark GM plastic interior.
- Same horrible plastic on the exterior doors
Still haven't found the trunk release switchFound it. Absolutely tiny.- Try to select AUX and it displays "NO CD". Well duh, I didn't want to play a CD.
- Floor-mounted parking brake right where I want to rest my foot
- Huge trunk sacrifices all rear leg room, yet only 3 cubic feet more than the Fusion
Thank God I still miss my Milan and will be glad to get it back. Why do people pay so much for Impalas? It's simply... not a good car. Drop the Impala's engine in a Fusion, holy hell you'd have a good car.
