2000 Chevrolet Impala consumer reviews

My dad used to own a 2000 Impala Base, he loved how it handled in the illinois snow and how it flowed over the bumps and so on the road.

I am 6-2 and 200 lb's and long legs appreciate a big roomy car. It is a safe car for my grandchildren to be learning how to drive. You can trust it mechanically and reliability. This is a good car for long trips and is comfortable.

For those folks that can't finance a dependable work car- Look for a low mileage, low owner, 2000 Impala. Either base or LS. Back in 2003, 2004 I had the pleasure of driving my son's sassy red 2000 Impala LS for errands when I visited the grand children, and to take on a short road trip. The bucket seats were comfy as heck, the power options great, the sound system gave me all my old-school tunes with strong bass how I like it. The V-6 gave me all the power I needed, and to boot, it wasn't a gas guzzler for being a big-to-mid-size car (I owned a little old Ford Ranger myself, so the Impala felt spacious) My son's family of 4.5 drove their 2000 Impala LS near to death, then sold it next to their teenage brother-in-law. This kid never took care of the car, other than put gas in it. One can imagine what that male teenager did to the car's neglected engine and drive-train ... The last I heard it had 200,000 plus miles on it, and the dumb brother-in-law blew the engine by leaving the radiator dry then racing one of his buddies on a freeway. Sheesh! In my book, this particular Chevy model is a testament to American car building. It would still be going strong if it had owners who took care of it.

I bought my Impala as a beater for work, and I haven't been too disappointed! Bought it at 250k miles in February of this year and besides the fact my exhaust system is shot, she's a good car. Still shifts like it's almost new, and even after past owners neglecting proper maintenance on the car she still roars to life every time. The growl of the engine is the best part of this jalopy of a car. The exterior is your typical early 2000s sedan, nothing special really but not hard on the eyes either. Guy before me hit a deer going 55mph and all that got damaged was the bumper cover. Besides the obvious plastic bumper covers, this car can take a beating. If you bought one in better condition than I did, I would definitely recommend this car, especially to younger drivers like myself who need something reliable and affordable. Gas mileage is dang good for a full size sedan. Trunk space is insane! Always impressed with older Chevys!

This car gets you from point a to point b. It?s a good car with a decent mpg so you won?t have to fill up constantly . It?s not an expensive car .

I think this vehicle is in very good condition for its year, and has great mileage and has no problems!

It has just enough legroom for a giant person like myself (7'0/300 pounds). When it comes to comfort, the car easily fit five people and a dog. I dislike the center console, but it was functional. The radio was very poor quality when we bought it, but the car comes equipped with a amp and subwoofer, and it is supremely high quality sound. This car has put up with 100 mile round trips daily, and it still works, despite us not taking great care of it. We have had to replace a lot of parts in the engine, partially because we didn't keep it up to standards, but also partially because of it's age. I would highly recommend this as a first time vehicle, or a high schooler vehicle, if you can get it for under $3,000.

This car is in constant repair mode. When it's fixed, it runs like a dream, but every month it seems something else breaks down. It's a shame, because as a larger person, this car has plenty of room for me, and the bench seating is something I'll sorely miss. However, it's not worth having what's essentially a monthly car payment's worth of repairs.

I love this car. Its reliable. Fast. 4 wheel drive. What else do you need? I would deffiantly purchase another one.

We bought our Impala over a year ago and we still love it. Great for tall and plus size people. Four adults can travel out to dinner in comfort without feeling cramped. The trunk is enormous holds my roommates wheelchair plus and months worth of groceries. It could get better gas mileage but it is a very big car. It drives and maneuvers excellent in tight parking lots without seeming like a boat. I would buy another one tomorrow. The only real con about the car is the very dim interior lights.
