I'd think you would have had all the opinions about it before you bought it.

I did however, there is nothing like getting feedback from other owners.

Great, then you can add to those opinions. I don't own anything newer than a 2000.

Where do you get a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty?

Purchased it through the dealership, it takes over after the factory bumper to bumper ends and has a $100 deductible no matter the problem.

We've had one for about a month. So far, so good. Our Impala got totalled by a hail storm and this is what my wife chose to replace it. I don't drive it much but when I have it seems to be a well built car. I'm 6' 4"" and don't have any issues fitting in it and it's comfortable. We got the LTZ with the V6 so it has all the power one needs. The only issue was with the dealership and not the car. Two weeks after we bought it she got a screw in the edge of the tire which was deemed unrepairable. The tires DO NOT come with road hazard like they use to, even with the bumper to bumper warranty, which we bought too. After arguing for an hour with everyone I could find, we ended up paying $130 for a new tire. I asked them about road hazard and they do sell it but often don't mention it unless the customer brings it up. You will get $150 in road hazard if you let them service your new car. The wife is happy and that makes me happy with the purchase. Good luck with yours.

We just bought a new car several months ago and they didn't offer a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty. Only 60 month 60,000 miles. I feel robbed!

Lifetime Bumper 2 Bumper = best demolition derby car ever! That's awesome and will remember that next time I purchase a car.
