Excellent Value
Just over 3 yrs, 24k+ miles. Agree with all the positives from the other reviewers; share only a few of the negatives: slight vibration in steering column, dealer repaired under warranty, needing only lubricant. Notice slight shake in wheel when braking lightly at higher speed (rotor issue noted by others?); hesitation once in a blue moon when lightly accelerating. Tranny went on a friend's Impala at 32k, but replaced under warranty. Mine is flawless so far. This is a good, comfortable, attractive, fun car, and perhaps the best overall value for $. Domestic nay- sayers should give it a good honest look.

Excellent performance but the subcarriage had to be replaced under warranty. Some problem with the steering [??} makes a noise but was told by dealer not to worry. Now Chevy has some retrofit kit and it has been installed; still some noise though.

Outstanding vehicle!
I have just passed 40K miles in two years of mixed driving, and have not had a single problem with this car! Even better, it still shines in performance (quick & agile for a big car), ride (smooth yet controlled), gas mileage (21.7 in mixed driving on regular gas), roominess (biggest trunk around + folding seats), looks (as good and fresh as when new), ergonomics (everything placed for easy use), etc. I've had more expensive cars, but none better!
Do I Keep it?
Less than 10 days to lease end, and I'm still thinking about buying my base Impala Sedan. No abs, but sporty 16 inch wheels in dark green make the car a looker. I can feel the ride loosening, and the tranny slipping, so I may be unloading at the right time. I did not know the engine cradle was a problem. Anyway, after 37k miles of NY metro driving, I have not replaced the tires, or brakes, just oil & the driver power window switch.
Never again
I have owned it from the start, 9 years now. I've kept up with maintenance and read the owner's manual. Despite this, I've been having problems over the past 3 years that in the past month have come to a head. The problems include a broken water pump, coolant leaks, radiator problems, temperature gauge braking, the window motor failing, a transmission problem that often makes it hard to pull out at green lights, an engine that doesn't like going over mountains, and the blinker wiring's loose. I've brought it to two places that have been trustworthy for family and they can't figure it out. Far too many problems for 65k - was it made on a mon/fri?! Will not buy Chevy EVER again.
