Thread: Time to say goodbye to my GTP

I'm looking at a new impala 2ltz. Comments?

I drove a 99 GT for four years and replaced it with a 99 GTP. Been driving a GTP not quite a year now. In between, I had a rental '13 LTZ for a couple weeks, and a Malibu for a week and a half. It may be as fast and get better mileage but the driver's controls in any new Chevy are likely to drive you nuts at least for awhile. I had to just pull over and get out the owner's manual for everything I wanted to do. The paddle shift is a neat trick with no real benefit that I can see. I didn't like it. I plan to keep driving 97-02 GP coupes forever though. I suggest renting one for a week first!
