Used 2011 Chevrolet Impala Sedan Consumer Reviews
hard to see to drive
I HATE the center rear headrest...anyone know how I can get rid of it? I'm afraid it will cause an accident because of the blocked vision. I agree with the others--cupholders in bad place, outside mirrors too small. I have the luxury package on the LT...the seats are hard and uncomfortable.
2011 Impala LT
This car is one big disappointment. I have had several Impala's and traded in a 2006 for a 2011. I wish now that I had kept the old car. This Chevrolet model steers worse than my first car, a 1951 Studebaker. The steering is tight creating a stiff turning in town and on highway. My wife has arthritis and has a very difficult time turning a corner. The car has many blind spots including small mirrors,& rear headrests. I opted for bench seats and find them only fair for comfort. In my 2006 Impala I averaged 30 mpg on the highway. On this 2011 i get only 23 mpg. It seems to lack an overdrive. Unfortunately, I was naive enough to think that the steering was only temporary. It's not.

Very Poor Visibility
This car disappointed me with the visibility when backing up and changing lanes. The back window is small for a sedan and the head rests blocked half of the window and they could not be dropped. The center head rest actually blocks the headlights of any car that is behind you at night. There is also a bad blind spot between the rearview and right side view mirror when you are trying to change lanes. The back windows are also small. The air vents are also a very poor design. You have two controls for up/down and left/right. I've seen so many other cars that allow you to change the airflow direction with less complication. It is a distraction when you are driving.
A very dangerous vehicle to buy
They need to know gm and Chevrolet will get you killed in a impala they will shut down while driving and the best part is the service dept dont have a clue what is wrong with them low engine power stabitilink powertrain engine check engine light stays on they are so dangerous I'm getting a lawyer today then maybe a recall will be done I'm fed up with gm and Chevy Ford will be number 1 from now on and the really bad part gm or Chevy dont give a crap about killing your kids 70 mph to 10 mph on the interstate
