On a recent road trip to Niagara Falls.  We had the extreme pleasure of taking this long journey with a brand new Chevy Impala 2LT.  The car rode like a dream and made the trip a pleasure even while driving in the middle of the night.  It also had lots of legroom, even for my 6’4 husband, and plenty of space for travel gear, suitcases, and a 6 year old’s armada of backseat junk.  There was a table with cup holders that folded down in the backseat, which in itself made me love this car.  How much do you love a car built for a roadtrip?

The Impala is an innovation built of high tech materials and detailed sculpted designs on the exterior.  While the interior is plush and luxurious, with a huge touch screen with integrated GPS, Chevy MyLink, dual climate control and satellite radio.  The touchscreen is huge, but not dominating nor over powering while driving at night.  The other smart screen in vehicle is driver specific.  This one is meant for the driver’s view and is in place of the speedometer and  in dash information. The screen is customizable via on wheel controls, which can control just about everything just shy of your passengers, including audio, climate controls, collision detection and speed control.

As far as the car itself the car was a smooth drive all the way through multiples states, without a single hiccup.  Built into the 2LT is collision detection and warning systems.  All of which are meant to keep you,  and your passengers safe on all road conditions.  The detection is in the form of flashing LED lights and a warning signal when the vehicle in front of you is approaching.  When there is a vehicle to either side of the vehicle a warning light is activated on the appropriate side mirror, in the form of a small icon in the corner of the side mirror.  These indicators flash a warning when your blinker is activated on that corresponding side to indicate a danger if merging is a hazard and caution should be exercised.  The blinking and flashing is at first a bit unnerving, but after getting accustomed to the added safety features they are welcome.

The Impala is a dream to drive, and although the safety measures can take some getting used to, they are a welcome addition to the driving experience and are missed when driving other vehicles.

Gassing up the Chevy!

On a side note- if your child ever decapitates a giant balloon dragon he was given and takes the head with him on the drive home, the Chevy Impala totally has room for it in the backseat.  How many cars can you say safely carted a dragon head home for you?  That’s what I thought.
