"This car was purchased over six years ago used for my wife and it is nearly bulletproof. I scared us by locking up the security system one time. Other than that it is fantastic. Good gas mileage and roomy!"

"As an owner of a 2000 Impala LS, the legendary 3.8 liter is a good engine. Too bad they quit making them. Its one of a few reasons to own an Impala. Typical lower/upper intake problems, but fixed at home over the weekend to save some money. The car looks sporty, but the ride is sort of hard for a large sedan and makes trips a bit tiring. The 4 speed auto trans. is probally the weak point here, considering the jerky shift into fourth gear and OD almost regularly. Rear visibility is not that good and makes tight parking lot maneuvers challenging. It has high miles on it now and it sounds like it. There is alot of creaking within the aluminum engine cradle that is easily heard inside the car, and noticeable squeaks are in the dash and overhead console. It gets good highway MPG, but its the little things that add up that make a certain car a one time purchase. This car will be just that. Chevy's car line seems to look all the same now, but just different sizes. If the new Impala is just a newer, bigger and more expensive Malibu clone, good luck selling them. Overall, its not a bad car by any means, but its not a great car either."

"I bought my chevy impala used 115,000mi. From day one I was glad I had a 30 day warranty on it. The same day we bought it things went wrong. Wipers, blinkers, door locks. Brought it in...Next couple of days; axle, fuel line, parking brake, rear defroster. I brought it back to have it fixed on about 10 times in 30 days. At the end of the 30 days I brought it back. I know when to quit. I was better off with my Ford (found on road dead) even that was more reliable than this car. Don't get me wrong I love chevy, but they screwed up with the impala."

"I've had my 2000 Impala since October of 07, so a little over 2 years now and I've had nothing but problems from the beginning. I paid 6,000 for the car and another 2,500 or so has went to repairs. In TWO YEARS!!!! I've replaced my head gasket. Had major oil leaks, replaced multiple sensors. My blinkers work whenever they want! My interior lights work maybe 75% of the time. The windshield wipers have a mind of there own. They'll turn off then turn back on (BY THEMSELVES!) This vehicle is just ridiculous and very strange at that. I rather have my 1995 Buick Century back. At least that car never left me stranded. This car is only 9 years old, but has left me stranded 4 different times! I'm done with this car!"

"I bought my 2000 Chevy Impala about 4 years ago. It had 65,000 miles on it at the time. It was a great car until I hit 100,000 miles. As soon as it hit that mileage it went south. I have replaced the sway bar, a intake gasket that set me back $900, numerous expensive senors, the torque converter, and had the transmission rebuilt this year. Every time I think this car is *finally* fixed the check engine light comes back on. This car has given me nothing but problems for the last 25,000 miles. In two years I have easily spent $4000 on maintaining this car."

"My 2000 Impala was purchased in 2001 as a lease return vehichle, it has 110,000 miles on it and runs as good as the day I got it. I drive 65 miles a day to work each way. When I originally bought this car for my wife, I had a Camry. When the Camry got over 140,000 mile we switched because she works so close to home. I love this car. Handles great in the snow nice quiet ride and very comfortable. I'm 54 yrs old 6'2 240 lbs. when I decide to retire this car to city only driving, I will replace it with another Impala. Who needs foreign cars. I get about 31 mpg and I average 70 mph when going down the highway."
