Is definitely reliable

Huge open interior that can hold 6 people if need be. Runs and always performs well. Might had slight bumper and fender damage when I bought it for cheap. But overall is a great car. Just like most chevys, tiny things go wrong here and there and some you don’t need to fix. While others like a battery you do. Still would choose this over a Ford.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

This car has never given me any problems. It has never failed to get me to where I needed to go, even when I traveled from Wisconsin to Idaho and then to Arizona.

Omfg ABS

My car sucks xxx in the snow, good tires and all. I’ve even had troubles on barely wet pavement. The garage tells me there’s nothing wrong. There is extremely something wrong when you’re going at idle speed, and your ABS shuts off your steering, and your brakes so you continue to go into oncoming traffic.

Good Value

I like this car for the comfort it provides especially for longer trips. I use my smaller compact car for short trips downtown for shopping.

Not Bad

I was in the market for a used car. We found this and after a thorough look over we liked it. Only kicker is the actuator is in need of a replacement. Outside of that, great car.

Owned 2005 6yrs and have had many problems .

Had problems from power steering to suspension to sensors to computer. Good car when perfect but ignition problems persist, which they didn't fix after a three hour wait and now engine head problems. Love the car just to many problems still have it though.

A car that will last!

The Chevy Impalas are some of the best cars out there. They are very reliable and built to last. There is sooo much room and I dont understand how because it doesn't look like it on the outside!
