In this Regular Car Reviews episode, the guys delve into the cinematic world of "Drive" to dissect the inaccuracies surrounding the Impala's horsepower, highlighting the sheer absurdity of the car's portrayal in the film. They scrutinize the Impala's performance, showcasing its surprising speed compared to police interceptors, while also shedding light on its lackluster handling due to the outdated W body design. The team doesn't hold back in critiquing the Impala's engine and gearbox issues, emphasizing the mismatch between the powerful 3.6L V6 engine and the struggling 6-speed automatic transmission.

Furthermore, the team explores the Impala's history, from its impressive sales figures to its various discontinuations over the years, raising questions about General Motors' decision-making process regarding this iconic model. They also touch upon the high mileage and durability of the Impala, juxtaposing its well-maintained appearance with the exorbitant maintenance costs that come with owning such a vehicle. Despite its flaws, the team acknowledges the Impala's unique appeal on the used car market, albeit with a cautionary note about the potential financial pitfalls that may arise from owning one.

As they navigate through the intricacies of the Impala's design flaws, such as the problematic Bluetooth integration and battery accessibility, the team paints a vivid picture of a car that, while impressive in some aspects, falls short in terms of practicality and long-term reliability. With a blend of humor and insightful commentary, the Regular Car Reviews crew offers a balanced perspective on the 2015 Chevrolet Impala, ultimately recommending cautious consideration for potential buyers who may be swayed by its semi-sleeper allure.
