Im suprised at all the negative reviews, then again as a former service manager, no I'm not. I bought my Impala brand new & have put over 140k on it with little or no trouble. 1 water pump @ 42k...with dealer assistance, 1 window regulator, and a battery. Ride, drive, and performance is still great. I am a maintenance freak and take great car of my cars, my plan is to give to my son for college and it will have about 180k then. I see no resson why this car wont go 2-300k.

2006 Chevrolet Impala LTZ 4dr Sedan (3.9L 6cyl 4A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
I learned to drive on my impala and have loved it since day one. The only issues its had are power steering which seems to be common but is worth it to own a fun to drive sedan. Since ownership ive put a flowmaster exhaust after market HID headlights and other mods. It makes a pleasant noise when you accerlate. My car now has 128000 miles and has been trooper. Only complaint is antiquated trans and the engine not being tuned to full potential. 242 hp from a 3.9 seems low when 3.6 now makes 303

This Impala LTZ is a very solid vehicle with only a couple issues. It will need a water pump and thermostat at about 8 years into service. There was also a recall on the power steering hose that was handled very well by the local dealer in the 2011 to 2012 time frame, 3.9 liter with 240 HP is responsive. The gas mileage is very good, ride comfort is great, no noises in my vehicle, interior is good for top of the line, the top of dash does seem a bit cheap and needs a good amount of detailing to look good, the sun will hammer that spot and the leather seat areas close to the windows need to be treated with leather conditioner. Bose sound system is very good.

315,000 miles on the odometer-still runs good-transaxle makes a roaring noise which gets louder when turning left- still haven't changed rear brake pads yet-the front pads were change last year but had plenty of miles left on them-it's the way a drive that made them last-frequent oil changes and light on the gas pedal have been the key . gas mileage hasn't changed- I use fuel injector clean , and change air filters often- I live in Phoenix,AZ- it's never overheated- and I have never had any problems with any of the recall items for this car- it has some dents and dings - I'm happy. 2019-I have 335,000 miles on the car now still runs good. I replaced the radiator and still haven't replaced the rear brake pads.345,000 miles on it,still running good! 4/27/21 coming up on 350,000 miles miles ,stilll runing good! 355,000! 12/28/2022 361,000 miles still running , it's my to work and back car. I got the 2016 Impala Limited ltz 4yrs ago for weekends and trips,no problems so far.

I bought this car with 32k mi now at 65k: Came with a clean carfax/auto check (not 100% accurate I know). At first I loved this car it only needed the TPMS sensors replaced which I could live without. We here I am a year and a half later and wish I hadn't purchased this lemon... Lets see: So far I have had to replace: Rotors,Pads (normal), Front engine motor mount, power steering pump return line, HVAC blender solenoid (i think its going out again). It needs a fuel pump sending unit(got to buy the whole pump), now has a #1 Cylinder misfire (which is way to common to not recall), Shifts hard so transmission work is in my future. All with daily commuting.. no real rough driving
