I love this car. It is older but feels like new.

I love this vehicle! There is tons of space. Great gas mileage. Looks sporty on the outside. I feel safe driving with my kids in this vehicle.

Good car, terrible GM backing of design flaws

Traded 1996 Civic DX Coupe my with 273,000 miles. Good car. Friend had one. Transvwent at 100,000 miles. Other repairs GM wouldn?t stand behind. Sad. They went through bankruptcy afterwards. No wonder.

I love my Chevy Impala

I bought this car used with 200,000 miles on it..very very comfortable car to drive for me. With the high miles already I knew what I was in for. Very happy with it BUT like a lot of the reviews the tack all but the fuel was messing up. Would have to disconnect the battery like once a month to reset the speed tach but no problem. My son just over hauled the intake gasket, which took time, changed them to the felpro...working very well now...I just love this older model the engine is strong and I feel safe it even tho it's 14 years old...hardly any rust so I am happy for this used Chevy. When I get my money in a few months I'm buying a brand new one that is for sure???

Still running after 10 years of ownership!

Excellent full size, fuel-efficient front wheel drive sedan for the money! I had this car for over 10 years! My parents bought it for me used at an auto auction in April 2007. Car had 62,500 miles on it. Now has 174,000 miles on it and runs very well! It is based equiped with 3.4L V6, which I have to be honest, is an underpowered motor for this particular car. The 3.8 Series II is the preferred engine! I've done many maintenance and necessary repairs on this car throughout the years of owning it. It has served my family so well. From being a short-lived family sedan, since we bought a truck to take its role, taking my brother to and from nursing school and work, taking my mother to run errands, and finally to taking me back and forth to work! This car has stood the test of time! Paint is just as shiny as the day we bought it with normal wear and age. Engine and transmission still runs well though there is a persistent "kick" from a stop at times, which is VERY COMMON with this car. Smooth ride thanks to the independent 4 wheel suspension. We haven't put anything major like an engine, CV axles, or transmission on this car so its all good. Never been in any major accident. Since this car has been so good to me, it has also served me well with my Uber and Lyft services. I'm currently using this car for both Lyft and Uber and it has NEVER let me down!

A quick and reliable vehicle worth the money.

The vehicle was made to run, it came supercharged and had all nice accessories like leather seats, on star, and a boost gauge, overall the vehicles was amazing.

Decent beater

I bought an 04 Impala used in 2015, and in the past two years I haven't had any maintenance issues. Don't love the lack of anti-lock brakes on this model, but other than that, it's a decent ride for my daily commute and a few day trips.

Most comfortable and reliable car ever owned!

Large and comfy interior. Car floats down the highway. I owned this car back in 2006 , I never had any issues, I owned it for about 4 years. So much space!
