Used 2008 Chevrolet Impala Consumer Reviews

SS Fan

Why this was made to be a front wheel drive vehicle is baffling. I have enjoyed it but the gas mileage is poor and some of the designing is poor. The latch to the hood nudged a hole in my condensor somehow. Very expensive repair ($1200). The vent door actuators are chinese made garbage that constantly fail (there are 4 hidden in the dash) and when one fails it make a loud annoying clicking noise. On the plus side, if you need to pass someone, just press the gas a little bit, 8 cylinders jump into action. Great on road trips.

It's a love/hate relationship!

Love my car. I am the 2nd owner. Its fun to drive, reliable, and its a head-turner. I have the LTZ. Its bright red and got all the chrome around it and drives a lot of attention. At 49000 the car started using two quarts of oil around every 2000 miles. The salesman said it was normal. Yeah right. My door locks have began to act up and the a/c system doesn't work right sometimes. I love my car, but i'm afraid its going to start using more oil. No leak can to be found and it doesn't seem to be burning the oil. Thats really my only concern. I absolutely love driving the car. It gets excellent gas mileage and is very comfortable. Will buy again when all the bugs are worked out of it.

Cry HAVOC.......

.....and let loose the dogs of war. Purchased used, certified, 17k, still under warranty. Beautiful jewel tintcoat. Traded in my 06 Cobalt SS. Needed something a little roomier. I've never owned a 4 dr sedan, so was hesitant. Didn't want a dowdy land barge. Impala SS fits the bill. Dangerously fast and powerful. I'm lovin' it. Drive 200 miles round trip to work each week, and it's 50% city, 50% highway - 21.1 mpg.....not bad. But it's the Raw Power, it'll make you smile, and then some. Go test drive one, it's a life altering experience....go buy, now. You'll never look back.

Money Pit

I’ve had my 08 Impala SS for 5 years now. I always wanted one, which at this point I laugh at myself ever wanting it. This has been the most unreliable, poorly made car I’ve ever owned. Talk about getting nickled and dimed trying to take care of it. if you want a car that won’t hold oil, a guaranteed check engine light, noises all through the cabin (everything is plastic, lots of squeaks and everything is fragile) You will literally go through 100 air door actuators, replacing them over and over again, loud ass clicking in the dash if you don’t. My brights turn on when I use my right blinker. Cosmetically no complaints at all. I’ve worked for Honda in service the past 8 years. Never again will I buy an American sedan. Chevy I want my money back!! All I’ve spent taking care of it I could’ve bought a whole different car

LOVE IT!!
