A great car

I'm very happy with my new Impala. I took the car on a round trip Boston- Indianapolis (2100 miles total) and averaged 27 mpg. Plenty of room and power, and the seats were extremely comfortable. I was looking for a large car with good gas mileage, a big trunk and good looks - and you cannot find a better value than the Impala. With employee pricing, the car was just about $ 18K.

Our 2005 Impala is a replacement for an older Cadillac that was recently totalled. The Impala is a very nice car in all aspects. We appreciate the build quality, handling and monochromatic look of the great dark graphite metallic color. The car provides plenty of room, and we like the sporty appearance. We are pleased with our car and our dealer.

No More For Me

2005 Chevrolet Impala 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)

I wanted an Impala and now I don't. It handles great but the transmission likes to slip a lot. The starter sticks for a few seconds after it has already been started. Have to jump the battery every 4-6 weeks because it likes to randomly die. Alternator shop said it is not the alternator, most likely an electrical short. I have never replaced anything electrical on it so I myself didn't short it out. Engine is sluggish. Also the heater doesn't work half the time. Black trim on outside is already faded. Otherwise the rest is fine but as much trouble as I have had, I will never buy one again.

Big, Sweet Ride

2005 Chevrolet Impala SS Supercharged 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl S/C 4A)

All the features I wanted and nothing more. Cruises great at 70. But if you want the supercharger it will let you know it's there. I drive a lot during any given day and don't feel drained getting home as before. Ergonomics are fine. Don't pay attention to the pinhead critics that don't like the layout of the cup holders and derate the entire vehicle. Not impling there are things I wouldn't change or like changed (full display with XM, and location of parking brake) with the interior, but for the money I'm not complaining. Love the body style, small in front and big in back.
