2012 Chevrolet Impala Ltz Sedan 4-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
The
Impala LTZ is a roomy, front-wheel-drive 4-door sedan. All trims now include a
standard 3.6L V6 engine that features variable valve timing, is FlexFuel
compatible, and makes 302 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with
a 6-speed automatic transmission, which allows it to hit 30 mpg on the highway,
according to the EPA. With a rather conventional MacPherson strut-type front
suspension and trailing-arm rear suspension, with a stabilizer bar in back, the
Impala is tuned to bring a smooth ride yet handle reasonably responsively. The
body and suspension systems were designed to include some significant
sound-deadening measures, which make the Impala quiet on the highway and over
coarse surfaces. Depending on the trim level, the Impala comes with either a
front bench seat or two individual buckets. In back, there's enough room for
three adults across, and the seatbacks fold forward for a full pass-through to
the trunk for larger cargo items. There's a storage tub under the rear
cushions. And a sunroof is available. Side and side-curtain airbags are
standard on all Impalas, along with GM's StabiliTrak stability control system
and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. There are LATCH child-seat connectors in all
three rear seating positions. Even the base LS model includes keyless entry,
cruise control, power windows and locks and air conditioning. LT models get
larger machined aluminum wheels, a remote start system, dual-zone climate
control and Bluetooth hands-free. At the top of the range, the LTZ comes
equipped as a more sophisticated, sporty sedan, with upgraded wheels and
W-rated tires, heated seats, heated mirrors, a universal remote, and Bose
audio. All sound systems include an auxiliary input. The available remote-start
system in the Impala is claimed to work up to 200 feet away, and will pre-heat
or cool the vehicle. Also included in the Impala is the latest Gen 9.0 version
of OnStar, with improved voice recognition, along with Direction and
Connections services and Turn-by-Turn navigation, which allows you to beam
route guidance from a call center into the vehicle.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
Corvette owner finds stolen car, but can't get it back [w/video]
Wed, Feb 25 2015It's not too uncommon to hear about owners being reunited with their stolen cars decades after reporting them missing. The story of Terry Dietrich in Georgia starts that way with police finding her lost 1972 Chevrolet Corvette after over 40 years. However, this case takes a different turn because unless she wants to bid on it, Dietrich's likely not getting the 'Vette back. Just six months after purchasing it in 1972, Dietrich's blue Corvette was stolen in Georgia, and in 1975 the sports car found its way to a man in North Carolina. He kept the car right up until his death just a few months ago, and that's when restorer Gary Green bought the 'Vette from his widow, according to Yahoo Autos. Unfortunately, after acquiring the Corvette, Green found some major discrepancies. For one thing, the listed VIN pointed to a '69 convertible, and there was a different serial number on the frame. Green reported the problem to the local police, and they figured out it was the 'Vette Dietrich lost over four decades ago. Consequently, the cops impounded it. The issue now arises that while Dietrich is the victim of the theft, she isn't technically the car's last legal owner. After the Corvette was stolen, she reported the crime to her insurance company, and it paid on the claim, which essentially forfeited her ownership. To make matters slightly more confusing the company can't find the title on the 'Vette either, according to Yahoo Autos. That leaves the well preserved 'Vette sitting in a police impound lot. It will likely go to auction.
