2007 Chevrolet Impala review from North America

I haven't owned this car, but I had it as a rental car and I was truly disappointed with it. Last time I rented a car, I got the Pontiac G6, and I was surprised about how well it drive for an American car. The Impala however drove like a stereotypical North American car; it was big, but the interior didn't seem to gain from this, and my knee was pressed against the door when driving, and the seats might as well have been Lazy Boys.

I had an automatic that was good on the highway, but getting it to go from a stop was an exercise in patience; I really had to stomp on the accelerator to make it realize what I wanted it to do, and even then it took it a while to register.

My biggest gripe however was the looseness of everything; the steering was very unresponsive, and when I took a corner I was thrown about because the seat belt didn't tighten soon enough, and the seats had no support worth mentioning.

All in all, it might be decent for as a taxi or rental car, but I would never buy it for myself.
