Most reliable car I owned
For the price I paid I am more then satisfied with my car. I am 6'4 and I have more then enough leg room front and rear. The trunk is a great size. Good gas mileage and power for the size sedan it is. I will buy again

Best car for the price
I bought my Impala when I was 19 years old, in 2010. In the 7 years that I have owned my car the only thing that I have had to do is replace the water pump, which was about 70 bucks, and do routine oil changes and tire rotation. This car has been really reliable and has never done me wrong.

great car
bought it used with fairly low kilometers and have put alot on it since i owned it it drove me back and forth on the hwy every week a thousand kms a week - and for the hwy could use a transmission cooler- not the greatest while stuck in stop and go traffic - and if you dont hammer the gas the car is great and mine is still going great and runs great with no major repairs or money needed as of yet and the motor still sounds and runs so smooth the 3.5 l v6 i have always changed the oil myself and the lifters still dont click at over 300k on it i drive it everywhere has served me well

Good car for teen
I have owned a variety of cars from SUV to sports cars over the years and was looking for a solid car with good crash ratings for a couple of teen drivers. Bought an '07 Impala LS with 90k from a dealer. The biggest complaint (like many others I now see) is head gasket failure. Went out at 115K and cost about 1700 bucks to repair. Also noticed lately that the under side of the doors are starting to rust. Has 170K on it now and has survived a few teen scrapes, spin outs and ditch retrievals (MN winters). All in all we are happy with the car but a Camry or Subaru would be a more reliable choice.

great first car
bought a 2007 Chevy impala ls about a year a go now for $9,000. It had about 105,000 miles on it. I had a little bit of problems with it but it was used so I knew I might need to fix a few things most of the problems were replace some brake pads in the back and add some power sting fluid all together it was $200 to fix it not bad for a 2007 year car. I had my first accident in the car hit a telephone pole in winter car still ran fine just had to replace the passenger car door nothing else. great first car great gas mileage. I am a college student so for hang with my friends it is great. sound system is great, smooth ride, I am 6'2 so this car still has room to spare. back seat is great. i can spread out and take a nap and let my friends drive for a long road trip over all I love this car. Great first time car it saved my life and would not trade it. and now my mom as a Malibu and we still think that the Chevy impala is better

Great Car
I'm selling my 2007 LS today with 105,000 miles on it, after a long, happy ride. It has the 3.5L flex fuel engine, the best kept secret in the auto industry. I took delivery of it new as a fleet car, then bought it out when it was time to get the next fleet car (2011). The only money spent on it has been for maintenance, even the bulbs are all original after all this time. The size of this car is great but the fuel mileage is even better. I haven't been below 30mpg on a trip since it had 20K on the clock. On my last major business trip in it I drove from NE Wisconsin to Columbus, OH and back, summer trip, averaged 36.2 mpg, including the local driving in Columbus. This is actual mpg, not the trip computer, which is about 0.5 mpg high. I keep the speed at 72 on the highway. Only complaint I have about this car is the lack of adequate leg room in the back seat when I've had rear passengers (a rare event). Trunk is huge and rear seat folds down to make it a small truck in terms of cargo space. I think most of the negative reviews, including those in Consumers Reports, are based on 3.9L six and the V-8 engines. You just can't beat the 3.5L engine. Also, I never use ethanol in it (or any other engines I own), which costs me more here in Wisconsin, but I think a lot less in the long run.

Worst car in over 50 years of car ownership
2007 Impala LTZ, purchased used in 2009 from a highly reputable dealer. Despite careful maintenance, and careful driving this car required constant repairs. Head gaskets (twice), steering (twice), water pump, tire pressure monitoring, electrical failures, broken door handles, and hints that the transmission was going to fail prematurely. A very unreliable car - a near new fixer-upper! In 2012, at 5 years and 11 months of age and 102,000 Km (63,400 miles) this car had a major engine failure. Repairs were too expensive to be cost-effective. Despite the exterior and interior condition of the car being near perfect because of careful ownership, the car was towed to the wreckers. On the plus side, gas mileage was excellent, the leather seats were roomy and supportive and the air-conditioning was very good. Heating, not so good. Also, poor in snow even with high quality winter tires. Stereo was cheap and nasty, matching the cheap looking interior finish. Poor visibility and huge blind spots - rear view mirrors way to small for safe driving on multiple-lane roads. My second terrible car from GM, both built in Oshawa, ON. My GM products made in U.S.A. have been better. I drove GM for over 30 years on the strength of an excellent 1977 and a-half Buick LeSabre Sport Coupe, the best car I have ever owned. But goodbye forever GM, you have worn out my loyalty. (My 2009 Ford Taurus SEL so far seems solid, well-built, comfortable and reliable. It may displace the ?77 LeSabre - as the best car I have ever owned).
