First and best car I've purchased

I truly love this car it's easy going not to big not to small, I love the color of the car the seat are very relaxing and I love the color and how clean it was from the first day of purchase. Very roomy trunk to load all my kids activities items as well as my work item's. Very easy going smooth riding car sometime's you don't know the car is on. All future's in the car are great and working really love my bluetooth.

Great car with a kick

The 2012 impala is like the 2006-2011 models but with the new lfx 3.6l v6 engine. giving it 300hp and 262lb-ft of torque. Thats 88hp and 50lb-ft of torque. Yeah suspension still needs an upgrade but overall its a quick 4 door sedan. Wont beat anything with more than 300hp. The impala is pretty bulky but thats good for safety ive hit some ice and ran into a side bearer on the parkway and kept driving like it never happened it had a scrap of course but haven't had any issues took it to a mechanic and nothing was wrong besides from the cosmetic. The impalas transmission isn't that great its a 6 speed fwd so small and compact. Making the 300hp engine push the transmission to its limits. The car does ride smooth and steering is responsive not as responsive as a electric powered steering but close. The car has a pretty sharp turning radius for the size still wide but expected. This car is just a great car.

Low EMF car

I love having a low EMF car which is very hard to find in newer cars. I only gave 4 stars for performance because I wish it had a back-up camera & bigger side mirrors. I have a narrow curved driveway which challenges my back-up skills. You insist on a reliability rating which is ridiculous because I only had the car 2 days. So my reliability rating is a "guess".

Stay away

The only thing I like about this car is the engine. V6 3.6 L 300 hp, beautiful engine, BUT all other parts are just crap. I bought my 2012 Chevy impala in 2013 (it had 40,000 miles on it), I added only 53437 Miles during those 6 years: In 6 years, I had to replace the following: Water pump, 3 batteries, brake pads and rotors 4 times!!!, stability &traction control issues, bearings two times for the front wheels, abs wiring harness, front wheel rod, transmission oil leak, wheel suspension spring, rear exhaust heat shield replacement....) I SOLD IT TODAY

I like my chevie

Great car to drive. I feel safe and comfortable. Not as expensive to fix things as my Cadillac was. I would buy another impala in the future when I need to get another car.

Easier to drive than my 2004 new Cadillac. Less e

I bought it as a program car. Been good to me. I go to get things fixed at a local shop, though, instead of dealer. I like it!!

Failed

My Impa is the worst car I have ever purchased. The 28th of January just got my passenger window fixed . Now a clicking sound that's driving me crazy . To sum it up the Impa I chose is Junk.
