I have enjoyed my new SS since purchasing it in mid November '05. Pretty much as advertised with only one exception. My only issues is the gas mileage. When buying a V8 one should expect that gas mileage will be less than a 6 cyl auto, but when the manufacturer states 18-28 MPG, you would expect to average inside that range. To date I'm averaging about 17.5 per tank in town and 21 or so highway. This represents mileage without A/C or a lead foot at this time. GM would be wise to revise their advertising as I suspect this car will be more in the 16-20 MPG range once I quit babying it.

I love all the buttons that you use now that I learned them all. The information you can get is very thorough and tells you all you need to know. The handling of the car is excellent. My favorites are turning on the engine before you get in. This way you can have it at the climate you want when you enter your car. I also like the alarm system where you can turn it on if you notice someone around your car that may look suspicious. The OnStar system was standard and it is great. Also the XM satellite radio is quite pleasurable. All in all it satisfies my needs immensely.
Keep up the good work GM

I recently bought a 3LT Impala and am already convinced it is the best vehicle I've ever owned. GM put a lot of time and effort into refining the exterior and interior with over 1,000 new parts compared to the previous generation. The 3.9 engine has lots of power, makes good mileage, and the transmission shifts smoothly. The car has an air of luxury about it, but without the price.
A good car.

I dont know why people are having problems with their Impalas. My Impala works well inside and out. I think it comes down to TLC and regular maintenance. It's a great car for the highways, and a great car for economy for its size. I have 85000 kms on it now.
Not Reliable

Fun car to drive, but not very reliable. At 46,000 miles the water pump went out, at 71,000 miles the tranmission started leaking, at 110,000 the power steering pump went out. I have ongoing problems with the tire pressure monitors. The remote fob doesn't work unless you are within approximately 5 feet of the car, which makes the remote start virtually worthless. I also own a 2002 Impala LS with 250,000+ miles on it, that I have had no problems with; so at least I have something reliable to drive I will never again purchase a GM automobile due to these issues, I will be purchasing a Toyota Camry soon.
