We purchased this as a CPO in 2012 with 16k miles.

We purchased this as a CPO in 2012 with 16k miles. I have been very good about fluids maintenance, regular oil changes, transmission fluid exchange service, power steering, coolant, etc. In return the car now has 214,000 miles without one single mechanical repair. Sure it has needed tires and brakes and some minor electrical replacements (gas pedal, turn signal stalk and the servos that control heat/cool) but all in those "repairs" have added up to about $500 in almost 200k miles of driving. I have never met anyone who has had better service out of any car of any brand than we have out of this one! Sure wish they still made them like this.

My Impala

The only issues with the impala is the transmission are bad the ignition which I'm having issues now,and it seems every 6 months to a year I have to change front hub bearing and struts. Besides those issues oh and the governor mine is at 112 mph it sucks. But overall a perfect vehicle for traveling and everyday commute.

This Car Doesn’t Die!

This has honestly been a reliable car and im not one to leave reviews. Bought this car for $1000 at 208k miles. Yes, the mileage scared me as well. It currently just hit 230k Miles and Still runs like a dream. I had to replace my Rack & pinion eventually which is a known issue on these vehicles, other then that just regular maintenance scheduled oil changes, new tires alignments i really haven’t dumped a ton of money into this car like i have past vehicles and i expect it to reach 250k-300k the way this is driving. Impressed is an understatement.

Run away from any GM vehicle

Absolute xxx, even GM wouldn't honor the extended warranty, they just gave me money I paid for the warranty. Leaking sunroof destroyed the car. Car is worthless now.

But still paying an can't drive it at all now

I have a 2011 and it keeps dropping gages and says check charging station. I put a new alternator, battery, and cable on it I kept saying electrical. Not my favorite car by far. I did have a 2003 chev montie Carlo SS. And it was bad a**.lol

Never did more than brakes and maintenance.

I’ve only put brakes and tires on this that I bought with 20,000 miles in 2012. Today it is with me in Alaska with about 95,000 miles on it.

Best damn car I ever owned

My previous car was a 2005 Sebring that was nothing but problems. After the head gasket finally went in 2016, the dealer on the lot talked us onto buying this. Was hesitant, as it was more than we wanted to pay. But ended up being an absolutely awesome car. Barely had to take it in to be serviced for anything. Unfortunately, ended up crashing it on an icy road. Wanted to buy another one, but we are needing an SUV. I hope Chevy will start making these again someday. If I had to complain about anything, the angled headrest hurt my neck and I had to tilt the seat back a bit to be more comfortable. Also hated how the middle headrest on back seat blocked my rear view.

This I’d definitely a road trip car with those sof

This car has been so comfy no need to ride with pillows. I tried to find 1 exactly like it but the plush seats are not available anymore. I got a car for my Birthday and it doesn’t compare to the body style and comfort of the seats.

Runs good and very comfortable

Spacious and reliable. I use this car to drive back and forth to work. It gets outstanding gas mileage and has enough power to get you around town or on the highway.
