I am sure that the problems that I see
in the discussions are "fluke" OR that
our state inpections are more rigorous
than other state's and, therefore,
problems are spotted before they become
more expensive. The only thing I've had
done is the front disc pads replacement
in the 55,000 miles that I have owned
this vehicle. I have had nothing but
outstanding service from my dealership
and I am still amazed at the comfort
this Chevrolet provides. I was a former
HONDA and TOYOTA fanatic, but now those
cars are way overpriced for what you
get!

45K miles across 15 states (so far) in
all sorts of weather. The Impala has
been a comfortable and reliable
commuter and a wonderful road trip
car. It's fun to drive and easy on gas
(30+ mpg going coast to coast in the
summer). A spacious interior and a
cavernous trunk means there really is
room for a family of four on vacation
for a week. Other than a minor
accident (or perhaps vandalism - the
external mirror was ripped off) and an
act of stupidity (don't drop a foil
candy wrapper in the cigarette lighter)
it has been just scheduled maintenance.

My 2000 Chevy Impala LS has had nothing but problems . Engine cradle , stearing shaft bearing, brake rotors, side impact airbag.It all started at around 25000 miles. I have taken this car back to the dealer 9 times and it is still not performing the way it should. When riding on a road that is not quite perfect the front end feels loose and makes a slight popping noise. I thank myself for not buying this car because at the end of this lease I can walk away from a car that otherwise I would be stuck in. I don't have anything good to say about this car....

I too have had the knocking sound/feel when turning left. This was at about 35000 miles. I believe the wording of the problem involved the intermediate steering shaft?? Also before that I had problems with the turn signals not working all the time. It took two trips to the dealer to fix that. If it were not for the mechanical problems, I would keep this car forever. I love the overall car. The ride and the handling is great. I am getting 27 mpg which is outstanding for the size of the engine.

At 29000 miles the engine cradle failed, the brake rotors warped, all six pistons were defective (piston slap), and at 32000 miles the steering rack failed.
All were repaired under warranty at the dealer. I was in a rental car for almost two weeks while the engine craddle, piston replacement and brake rotors were being fixed.
I do not feel confident about the reliability of this car, but is performing OK as I write this review.

This car is nothing but a pleasure to drive. We have taken long trips (from San Francisco to Yellowstone and from San Francisco to Victoria B.C.) and I have been very comfortable. I am 6'4" tall and have difficulty finding a car that I can ride in comfortably, this car is it.

I love our Impala. It's a sporty, yet functional sedan, which is something we were looking for when we had children. Easy to care for and drives great. 4 adults plus a baby seat fit well. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, dependable car.
