PROs: The 2015 Chevrolet Impala is into its second year of the current generation, having been fully revised just last year. Certainly, the Impala is not lacking in elegance and can now dance with the other belles at the full size sedan Ball. Plus, the Impala offers an interesting choice of engines, impressive comfort and an overall driving experience befitting the 21th century.

CONs: Generally speaking, unless you opted for the LTZ V6, the Impala is probably a little bit on the heavy side for a 4-cylinder engine. Furthermore, when it comes to the finish, it would behoove Chevrolet to remove those cheap plastics bits’n’pieces found on some models.
