I bought this car to replace an Olds Alero, what a difference! For the price I could'nt go wrong! The car fits me great! I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a new car and can't decide what they want.
so far so good

We are very pleased with our car. A little disappointed with sticker mileage compared to actual. All manufacturers seem to get away with that one? However very reliable car, runs smooth, LOT'S of power. Wanted the LTZ because of more HP. Salesman said I would be happy with LT, and saved a lot of money. He was right. The traction control is a must in the snow here in Canada. Never had a problem. 2nd winter with it and reg. all season tires! By the way we found that if you order a car with the features you want it can save you money on the sticker price. Can save another thousand if you order it, as the dealers automatically tack on a thousand to cover cost of the car sitting on the lot.

The impala has made driving fun for me again. It handles very well, quiet engine, plenty of power and it looks great inside and out. I'm also saving money on gas these days. I was able to buy my car with extremely low mileage at a great price. I looked around and for the money you can't beat what you get with the impala.
Reliable but falling apart

I thought I was buying a good car, but it is built poorly. I have air leaking in my door, the leather on the seat is defective and the side molding is falling off. I should say falling off, because the dealer fixed the molding but destroyed the paint on the door. I'll buy foreign from now on!
bad deal

i bought this car brand new and i loved it at first. Then i started to have problems, rear defrost don't shut off, needed a new rack and pinion at 25,000 miles and know at 34,500 miles i need a new ball joint and we had new tires put on the car and they can't do an alignment on the tires because of the way the tires sit on the rims. They have low profile tires and they look nice but they are awful.

I have about 300 miles on my 2008 Chevy Impala 1LT. It has the 3.5 L Flex-fuel engine. I especially like the fuel economy, OnStar, XM satellite radio, ride quality, safety ratings, stylish appearance, huge trunk, seating for six, fun to drive, ride quality and zero defects. GM also gave me 0% APR for 72 months. What a deal on an awesome American car even though it is assembled in Canada.

I traded in my '03 Impala with 3.8 liter engine for this supposedly more fuel efficient model. The old Impala got 30 mpg on the hiway and averaged around 24. This new engine is getting 18.5 mpg on my commute and if babied on the hi-way will get 26 mpg. Also, if you decelerate and then want to accelerate quickly, there is about a 1 second hesitation before the throttle will do much. Really heart stopping in heavy rush hour traffic. Disappointed that this smaller car, with an engine that shuts off half of the cylinders to save fuel, turns in worse performance and way worse fuel economy than the old 3.8 liter engine. Also, OnStar should be an option only. Why pay for it if you don't want
great car

We turned in a Cadillac DTS and got the Impala. It has as large a trunk as the caddy and the rear seats fold as well. The seats could be improved and the a/c controls are silly but the ride and comfort approach the best. Looked at all the rivals and this was the beat for the money. Have had GM products for thirty years and the reliability has been tremendous. For the money this is the best buy.
Is what it is

We owned a 2008 Chevy Impala LS that was by far the best vehicle I have ever come across in terms of reliability. We drove this vehicle for 224,000 miles and only experienced 2 out of the norm repairs over the course of 5 years. Both repairs were under $500 each which translates to minimal costs for upkeep of this vehicle. The miles per gallon for the size vehicle is most impressive during the early years of the cars life, 33+. The handling during Winter Weather is excellent as well. The car has some weight that it holds the road well. Power is nice and in abundance. The trunk is large. Their are only (2) gripes. One is that every vehicle should have 60/40 seats. The LS model did not have this option. The other issue is more for aesthetics in that the lower portion of the dashboard uses cheaper plastic that simply does not have to look and feel like it was a material decided by some bean counter accountant. For such a strong and reliable vehicle, why not complete the circle and make an interior you can cherish. Bought with 15,000 miles.
