The v6 is a strong engine, will easily go 200k , plenty of room for families, and hauling in the trunk. Parts are easy to get , and reasonable. This is my 3rd Impala

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.

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!

bad trans

car is very unresponsive when you take off, hesitates to move. I thought it was just the trans but even the electronics such as fan controls are sluggish. took it in, they say its ok . if all impalas are like this & it keeps getting good reviews what does it say about buyer revues. The car would be car of the year if it wasn't for the 6 speed trans & heating controls, who ever passed that should be fired

This car is a great long distance traveling car; just don't go up in the mountains. The car doesn't handle very well but thats were you get the smooth ride from. One thing Chevrolet definantly needs to work on is the transmission. The transmission takes a good second-second and a half to shift to the correct gear when your stepping on it. Once again, do not take this car in the mountains when theres only a two way road and you need to pass someone. You have to get used to it that the transmission will lag so you have to step on it a bit earlier. But once it gets into gear, it does pull pretty good. The car seems to be overpriced when compared to the Charger which is a better car.
