Used 2007 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
Don't Buy
This is my company car and all I have to say is this GM car is junk. Fortunately for me, I didn't have to pay a penny for this car. I have nothing good to say about it and a lot to complain about. My biggest complaint is the uncountable number of design "flaws". For example, when you open the trunk on a rainy or snowy day, water or snow spills into the trunk compartment! The car also has poor handling, cheap materials and a build quality that leaves much to be desired. Spend your money on a Toyota, Honda or Nissan.
The Reason GM Is Dying
GM should be embarassed to put the storied Impala name on this fleet-grade rental car. Nasty seating. Floppy handling and dynamics. 1970s-vintage interior materials and design. Ho-hum styling. Spastic tire-pressure-sensor monitors. Fritzy electronics. Mediocre power.
2007 Impala LTZ
I have owned my Impala LTZ for three years and have 107,000 miles. Just paid $1000 to have trasmission valve body replaced, whatever that is. Bottom line, do not buy an Impala. I know it is tempting because they are cheap and look decent. The LTZ has all the bells and whistles. The 3.9l v6 has good performance and gas mileage. The problem is build quality. The transmissions are prown to have all kinds of problems. I have never had this many problems with any car. GM uses cheap parts. Head gaskets were replaced and the list goes on and on. Avoid Chevrolet products. You get what you pay for. Buy a Honda, Toyota or Hyundai instead.
Great and Nice Car
This is a great car. It is very roomy. We sat in the back of a Ponatic GT Prix and it was way squished. We sat in the back of our Impala and it feels very roomy. We bought it because we wanted a roomy car because we have a baby we have to stick in the back and it fits great and there is still room. I love driving it. It has the get up and go very fast.
This car has a lot going for it
My SS has all the options. I've only owned this car for a month and have about 1000 miles on it. So far, I'm very pleased with it. Car appears very well put together, best of any GM product I've had experience with. I haven't experienced any rattles or squeaks. It's hard to argue with the performance of this car. Suspension is a nice compromise between ride comfort and reasonable handling. A good driving car. I'm averaging about 23mpg in mixed driving, but 30mpg looks doable on the highway. The fairly loose torque converter hurts the mpg in stop-and-go situations, and I'm not sure exactly why they made that choice. Minor point, though, IMO. Seats are a bit flat, radio is ridiculous.
