Used 2006 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
2006 Impala SS
Just traded 98 STS that I drove for 140k miles. My new SS has been evrything I expected. Way more fun to drive, plenty of performance but a little short on acessories as compared to the STS. I live in the Northeast so the fwd is necessary, but the torque steer is NOT an issue. Educated drivers paying attention to road conditions will enjoy this vehicle at a very competitive price. Do I miss my 2 driver memory settings and heated rear seats, sure, but I don't miss the service costs that came with the $52k msrp STS. I am enjoying the "sleeper" that this car is when all those soccer Mom's try to pass me on the right. Good Luck!
Poor Mileage
Love the way the vehicle drives. The gas mileage is bad. We can't get the mileage it says it's supposed to.
My Car
Great car. 6000 miles so far and no problems. This is the second 2006 Impala in our household. Both are fun to drive
Falling apart
First year no problems. Now the front end needs work, passenger window squeaks like a banshee, front headlight lens leaks, driver's seat coming apart, side molding peeling like a banana. It only has 26,000 miles. Thankfully I have an extended warranty! No telling what will happen next. I might give GM one more shot.The future looks like a Honda
Replaced our Cadillac
We wanted a good over-the-road vehicle with lots of storage, good ride, good mileage, good audio. (Our 1995 Caddy has 116K miles and wanted a newer car for the mountains and countryside.) Our new LTZ is a great car as our Caddy replacement on all counts! We got 29.4 mpg on our first trip, loaded to the gills. The ride is much improved from our '93 Impala. We looked at Honda and Toyota, as well as Buick, but the Impala was the best price performer out there. The fold down seats will be handy for runs to Lowes. We are happy to see GM make such a fine sedan. Our first Chevy was a '66 and GM seems to be regaining their form with the new Impala. And our import owning friends like it!
