Good Cruiser But Disappointed With Chevy's Gearing
The interior is cheap yes. But so are other cars. I can look past that due to the car being reliable. One thing I did notice is the transmission. I like that it cruises at 2k at 80. But for one, it hesitates and gear hunts. I also believe the gears to be too tall. Of course it is a huge improvement over the old impala with the 4 speed. But usually in a v6 you should not have to even cross 2.5 rpms on the tachometer before going to second gear. This car takes off like a four cylinder on an incline, and it is not lively until higher speeds are achieved. It is not bad but not good. Hopefully the newer ones are better

Loved my Impala
My impala was an excellent choice for me. Kept me safe, always reliable, fun to drive and affordable. I had no problems with my Impala. I owed a 2012 for 6 years. I will miss it and will definitely buy another. Love American made!

2012 Chevrolet Impala
Purchased used with about 16k miles on it and it was a great car for a long time. Comfortable, spacious and I kept all the maintenance and oil changes done. But when it got a little over 100k miles on it the car started acting strange. It would stall and lunge in traffic, I almost got hit by another vehicle. I had a friend that had one that was somewhere between a 2000-2005 model it was beige with the Impala emblem on the back and since she loved hers so much I decided to try this one. The Stability track light would come on and off, it started jerking so I took it to a garage. They kept it for a while and never could figure it out. It's been one thing and another so I will sell, trade.. something if I can't get it running. They say everyone can get a lemon sometimes and it hurts as I wanted to buy American as they say.

Its driveable
I bought mine used so it had problems to begin with. the seat electrical tilt was broken at 99k. In between 99k and 140k I replaced the thermostat, thermostat sensor, water pump, transmission cooler line and the radiator. At about 110k the traction control started malfunctioning, and now i have to turn it off every time before i start driving. the resistor for the AC/Heater fan switch malfunctions so every now and again the fan doesn't blow. I have to mess with the actual plug under the glove box to get it to work. The line that connects the back window defroster came undone so that doesn't work. I gave it 3 stars because i really want to like this car. without all the little but expensive problems this would actually be a great car. I really like the engine and the pick up speed.
