Pros: Poor resale makes for some great buys, Acceleration, Transmission, Fuel Economy Cons: Interior Design, Cheap-o materials, Rear visibility, Some of the exterior colors. The Bottom Line: Since these cars are going for very cheap, they make a great value and are recommended 100%.
During the 1990s the Chevrolet Impala came with one of the most powerful V8 engines available in the large sedan market. Unfortunately for the muscle car enthusiast, and fortunately for the affordable family car enthusiast, the Impala nameplate...

Pros: The Price and Size Fit My Family Cons: My thoughts on this car are degrading rapidly The Bottom Line: I love my Impala, but I absolutely hate the fact that it's been in the shop so much and now I've had to spend $800 on tires and brakes!
Note: Please note the troubles I have had with this car at the end of the article. I was happy when I found this car, but I am rapidly losing my confidence in my purchase.
Over the past few months, I've been searching for the most...

Pros: Excellant gas mileage along with a great look Cons: Poor air conditioning vent system
We recently rented a Chevrolet Impala to use on our vacation. We have been thinking about purchasing one and thought we would try it out while we were traveling to see if it was really the car for us.
This is a very good looking vehicle--both...

Pros: Value, Size Cons: All the reasons I stay away from GM The Bottom Line: If it were my money, and it had to be domestic, I'd consider the Grand Prix in this price range.
AVIS=GM=dull and boring.
At least, that was what I thought when I received the keys to the Impala. My opinion of GM cars would be altered somewhat.
Test Period
I rented the Impala for 3 weeks in late '00. Drove it to work in hot...

Pros: moderately priced, safe, curb appeal, responsive Cons: the front undercarriage scoop bottoms on steep inclines
My Dodge Dynasty had 193k on the odometer. The wheezes, clunks, and droppings were heralding the end. I figured that I had best get looking.
Domestic and import--probably a dozen dealers in three days. Some interesting models--but none that...

Pros: Engine, ride, interior size, style Cons: back seat does not fold down w/ base seats.
This is not my father's Impala! This is like no Impala before. My wife & I went to a Chevy dealer to test drive a Malibu. Well if we wanted to buy a Malibu we should have never also test driven an Impala. What a car! It does not look that big from...

Pros: Roomy, quiet, luxurious without the sticker shock Cons: Some people (not me) don't like the styling.
Summary:
Rock solid. Lively motor. Gargantuan trunk. Deft. Adept. Have a nap while you're cruising across the prairies and save money on motels.
Scope of review

Pros: Sturdy, safe, a ton of power, heated seats!, handles well in snow and ice. Cons: None yet, really! The Bottom Line: Love this car! Zero service visits in two full years, tons of room, lots of pep.
First let me tell you that this is my, and my husbands, 5th new vehicle purchase so the "it's new so therefore it is great" syndrome has well worn off. As with all of our other new vehicle purchases we expected to be back to the dealer with some minor...

Pros: big w/o being wallowy, roomy, feels good to drive, excellent seats, quality and reliability Cons: too easy to damage bottom of front bumper on driveway aprons The Bottom Line: This is _the_ family sedan to have. Inexpensive, not too big, and does everything well.

The Impala is noticeably roomy inside. With 122 cubic feet of interior volume, it is 6 cubic feet more spacious than the Lumina.
Base models come with a three-seat split bench in the front; LS models come standard with just two front seats,...
