Used 2007 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews
Great So Far
I have had a '60, '64SS '71 '77 '89 '95 and now an '07 Impala. I have it 10 months now and I have to say, I'm impressed. Sufficient power, comfortable front seats, road driving 32. In town, 26 average. Actually quieter than my '03 Mercury Marquis. Probably the best (mileage car) I have ever owned. By the way, I have a contact in Oshawa Canada where these are made and I am told the Impala quality control is strict and tight with constant inspections. It's not Grandpa's old big monster Impalas, but I am rolling with the times and this looks like a winner.
Give me the good old 3.8
The LTZ was a nice update from the 2005 model. Tighter in every way, better styling inside and out, but the 3.9 AFM, with only an MPG of,(22-24), has me longing for the 3.8! Or, for a few grand more..."I could of had a V8!" To coin the ad. The outside mirrors could be a touch larger and I would give up a couple of inches of trunk spce for more rear leg room. Also, the drink holder. Need one in the rear and a better one in front. All in all a nice car that I will keep around for the time being. I bought it with six thousand miles from a used car store for only 16,800 plus tax and so on.
Smooth
This car is roomy, very comfortable and nice to drive. A few more places to store items woud be nice. Maybe a second glove box under the dash. It is a little difficult to get in and out of, (old guy) but once in it's great!
So Far Impressed
Great power--surprised me when I had to use it. 21mpg w/ a/c, 26-30 w/o. A little too much noise for me interior at 60+mph, but then depends on roadway-- why whine, huh?, but great traction, room for 3 in backseat, but a little cramped for 6 ft tall people--trunk not squared at backseat junction. Never used OnStar so far, so dunno if I need it yet. Controls well positioned, easy to operate. Have about 8K miles on it so far with only oil change and tire rotation--no other problems. When I go to dealership, always look in repair lot to 07 Impalas, very little there and customers I talk to are pleased w. their Impala's. When I reach 15K miles will write another review.
Versatile Flex Fuel Sedan
Very good car! Ethanol (E85) compatible with good miles per gallon. Spacious and quiet interior make this a joy to drive. Traction control and excellent crash safety ratings makes this a good all around car! Sleek and stylish exterior puts the competition to shame!
