Things keep going wrong

I like the looks and handling but its been one thing after another of things going wrong. Only 120,000 miles. I would have ditched this car at 90,000 miles if I would have known.

Very nice car, many people I know have one.

I think this is a good reliable car, my favorite model is the SS addition, are used to drive my friends a lot and always seen them on the streets, I would love to own the super sport model one day.

Good Car, Bad maintanance

This car I bought used and on a ind of budget. It worked great for what I wanted it to but it deteriorated quickly. I Had many times of having to work under the hood to just get things to work. I eventually sold it for what I owed because the transmission was going out. It did have 180k miles at the time but it would require a complete rebuild which would cost more than the car was worth.

The nicest car we've owned.

We purchased the 08 Impala with 19k miles on it and it was one of the best vehicles. It drove amazing, was very spacious and comfortable to drive. Unfortunately this one was totalled by someone else hitting it on the street and totalling it at 77k. Loved it though and bought two more.

Great car for travel, family, and everyday life.

This car offers spacious comfort with a smooth ride. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Never have to worry about if your car will give out during long distance trips with the family. My mother uses this car to commute to work everyday and I learned to how to drive in this car. It can fit up to six people due to the middle seat upfront that also converts to the console! The trunk is huge and offers room for much luggage. This car is great for beginners and those with/want kids.

Decent power and comfort.

Like the ergonomics, audio controls on steering wheel. Goes through front brakes and rotors if you don't buy top end.

Most reliable car I've owned.

My first car was an 08 Chevy Impala LT & its been sitting up pretty good. Maintenance for the car is relatively cheap & it handles good. Because of it's age it's not beating out newer cars looks or interior designs but if you're looking for a cheap car thats good on gas, has some muscle power & has low maintenance costs, this is the car for you. The legroom in the rear seats aren't very roomy & the seats aren't very comfortable if you're taking long distance trips but other than that it's a good car even with high gas mileage.

just not my type of car

just too big and a little mush for me I thank I would like to try the chevy cruze next. This one look's it would be better for my girl's and I. That is when we get enough money first by it. Then go a few trip's across the state.
