Great car. Lots of space

Car was built for comfort. Plenty of leg room. The trunk is enormous and easily handled on the road. The design is sleek and looks sharp.

Chevy Impala works well as a first car for a teen

On the used market this vehicle is very budget-friendly. The Impala has a nice design on the outside and fits the need for a basic sedan. The inside of the car is comfortable and includes all the needed features and is easy to operate. The trunk is HUGE! Engine components are marked with symbols to help those of us who are mechanically challenged.

08? Impala-ONLY Yr deadly recalls were ignored

Look into all very dangerous, deadly and only ignored in 08? Impala LT Sedan Model-airbag safety restraint system recalls and issues as well as all safety belt restraint recalls and issues. Then include rear and front suspension issue recalls and issues... Don?t forget to read all open lawsuits and investigations. Specifications on parts like the TAKATA airbag and other safety system flaws killing and injuring thousands, yet being left in car like this yr etc etc etc. ?Not enough deaths in the 08? were reported? BUT the other hundreds of thousands did have enough?! That used the same EXACT DEFECTIVE system. Don?t wait until your control arm snaps on the highway causing you to lose control and collide with something, to then find out that your seatbelt didn?t ?lock? up to hold you back or your airbag didn?t deploy or very sadly that the presence sensor for your 12 yr old failed to keep the airbag off due to weight and the passenger bag did partially deploy with a defective inflator BUT still was too much impact for your petite child and instantly killed her all in an accident that shouldn?t have caused more then a bump, bruise sore back or neck. Don?t wait to get all these things inspected, repaired to prevent accidents (front lower driver and passenger control arm assemblies newest revision/design) Don?t wait to get this looked at if you still have a warranty, to not drive it again, to not sell it if you learned your airbag system is in fact bad... Steer clear of the ?08 unless all refurbished and watch out for the late 07? and early 09?s.

Economical vehicle

It's a very economical car. Comfy. A little crappy on gas mileage, but they advertise that is the case! I would recommend it to anyone with interest in a comfy car.

One of the best investments I?ve made

I bought this car used and I wasn?t sure that if it was going to meet all of my needs. It turns out that it does meet all of my needs. The all black exterior and all black leather exterior are great. The V6 engine is very powerful. The luxury of having an e85 fuel tank is also great because it allows me to save money on gas. Overall, the car is a great car and it gets me where I need to go.

2009 With Only 25,000 Miles - Excellent Condition

Beautiful car in almost perfect condition. Bought the car from my mother's estate to keep in the family but between my fiance and myself, we now have five cars and only a three-car garage. For the past 15 years, I have owned BMW's, Lexus, and several other high-end cars. This one drives just as good and is just as comfortable as the high-end cars! Great value.
