While an impact wrench would be preferable for automotive work, an impact driver with a socket adapter can often be successfully used for lug nuts. This one boasts 1600 in-lbs of torque, which should be enough for most properly installed and non-seized passenger car lug nuts.
But in general, an impact driver's intent is to be used for driving fasteners for things like construction, not so much for mechanical work on vehicles, though they are often tapped for such duties as well.

You wouldn't use an impact wrench to remove lugnuts....you use an impact. The problem is this is a 1/4 inch, and meant for fasteners. You want an Impact gun 1/2 inch or better for lug nut sizes.
This is a basic brushless model without any speed settings; depending on your needs it may be worth getting the 2851 (brushless with 3 speeds), or a FUEL model — prior gen FUELs can sometimes be found for <$100 (tool only).
