I've owned one Impala prior to this one and they have both been fabulous. My current has 150k+ miles on it and performs great with minimal continued maintenance on it. I love the size and the weight of the car. I've piled people in there and everyone still has comfortable space and room for their stuff in the trunk. I've also had experiences with some slippery/scary roads up in Minnesota and Wisconsin with snow and ice and the weight of the car does a great deal to help deal with that the ABS system is also a huge added perk that I would be searching for in a future car. I love how easy the cruise control and media buttons are accessible being on the steering wheel. The other technology features on the console are becoming dated, but were great technology in 2011 when the car was new. The heated seats are also a lifesaver in the cold winters and autostart is phenomenal. The seats being able to fold down for access through the trunk is something I use on a monthly basis. I've fit chairs, desks, full 30x80 French doors, etc. in my car and have had no issues. Such a versatile car for someone who can't afford or doesn't want the size of an SUV.
