Used 2006 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
Great Car
I bought it used at 12,000 miles, now at 50,000. It has been in two fender benders (other drivers faults) and besides the repair work, has not been in a shop once. On the highway CT to NH, I get 33 miles per gallon there and back at 60 mph. Highway mileage is great, just keep the speed down. Front seats go back far (I am tall) but there is less rear leg room then the 2003 style impala. Tons of rear space when the front seats are push up. Lifetime gas mileage is about 23 mpg. Computer led display is nice, no vents have broke, my driver side floor mat wore out, and has three cigarette lighter jacks. I love the car, and plan on keeping it for years more.
Awesome Car for the Price I Paid
All I can say is wow! I only paid $15, 995 for this car with only 30K on the odometer. I had a problem with the tire pressure monitor system at first, but a little hint: don't have your dealer try to fix; do it yourself. I took to dealer 5 times and they reset it each time. It went out again and I decided to fix it myself using the manual, and have had no more problems. Must use an air hose with high air output. This car is such a powerful car. Suggestion, buy used and pay half the price like I did. Also, you can upgrade the headlights to projector lights and make it look even more upscale. I installed them and an HID conversion kit that I got online and all I can say is wow! Buy this car!
Not bad for a Police Car.
I had been searching for a new Impala for almost an entire summer when I came across this car. It is a police package impala(never used),3k miles, with all the police goodies (3.9L, trans, oil, and power steering coolers, HD brakes etc.) I love this car, it's comfortable, handles, stops on a dime, and moves on the highway. My only real complaint is rather poor gas mileage(22mpg@70), and that the exhaust system is already starting to rust after one winter. Other than that its an all around quality car that should last me forever.
Great Impala
I have had this car for 2 weeks and every time I drive it I like it more and more. The hadling in this Impala is much better than the previous and the 3.9L engine really gets this car moving. The new engine is a great replacement for the venerable 3800! Styling is understated and the interior could have come out of a Cadillac DTS (like the radio and steering wheel). The LTZ is great entry level luxury for less than 28k! Nice job Chevy!
Very Good Impala
I bought the car new and recently broke 50K miles (3 yrs). The only problem I've had was a bad power steering pump which was replaced under warranty. I am pleased with the mileage, I was getting 27 mpg combined while driving 50 miles round trip to work. I now work closer and mileage has dropped to 25 mpg combined. Response and acceleration are great on the hiway. Someone complained about the Goodyear Infinity tires, but I got 47K out of the first set which I thought was good. As a matter of fact I replaced them with same tire. Hopefully I will get many more years and miles out of the vehicle.
