The Bottom Line: Very spacious interior, comfortable seats, quiet ride, handles well, lots of pick up for passing.
Back in June I completed an epinion on the Dodge Intrepid. Spending a week driving across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, I had covered some 1200 miles in the Dodge. As I limped away from the car, clutching a hefty Chiropractic bill from a wrenched...

Pros: Power, handling and comfort
Cons: wear and tear, brakes
When I rented the 2001 edition of the Impala for a week, my predominant reason was to check out its optional 3.8L engine (base is 3.4L). When I put it to the test on the windy roads of the island of Nassau in the Bahamas, I was not disappointed.

Pros: Great gas mileage, smooth ride and handling, brakes.
Cons: Lack of seat comfort in base models, under powered 3.4-liter engine.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a quality car at a reasonable price, check out the Chevrolet Impala, and I think you will be happy.
Background
I have taken two trips with the 2001 Chevrolet Impala. The first trip that I took was out to Des Moines, Iowa from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was roughly a trip of 760 miles. The second trip, which I will draw the majority of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Lots of room, awesome headroom, gargantuan trunk, powerful, nice quiet ride, good seats
Cons: High trunk lid makes it hard to back up, strange wipers
The Bottom Line: If you need a mid-to-full size car, look no further. The Impala is here. Especially if you are TALL
First, a bit of history about this car:
The creation of the Chevrolet Impala was designed to do two things: replace the aging design of the Lumina, and replace the long since discontinued Caprice. The Caprice was Chevy's big four door...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great power delivery, solid handling, roomy interior, lots of features
Cons: fairly large rear blind-spot, a little pricey
The Bottom Line: This is a comfortable, powerful, stylish sedan in the great American tradition. THESE are the good old days.
The all-new Chevy Impala raised a lot of questions in my mind. The first thing that I thought when I heard about it was, "Great, GM is wussifying another classic nameplate by putting it on a wimpy front-wheel-drive car." My second thought was "Is...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: A Lot of Car for Little Money. Base Model is Hardly a Stripper
Cons: Tacky Plastic Wheel Covers, 3.4 V-6 not quite as smooth as the 3.8
The Bottom Line: A nice large car for thrifty, budget-minded individuals
My girlfriend finally replaced her aged 1991 Mercury Tracer and purchased a new 2001 base-model Chevrolet Impala. She had been in love with the Impala after first seeing one at the Philadelphia Auto Show over a year ago. We test-drove a loaded 2000...

Pros: Safety, Ride, Comfort, Styling, Performance
Cons: Hard Armrests
I never thought I'd buy a NEW car. However, I've always enjoyed 'staying abreast of the market' by visiting car lots and looking at new cars which I might buy in 5 years or 100,000 miles. Being a proud back-yard mechanic, I can save significant cash by...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, fast, agile, comfortable, good-looking, cheap.
Cons: Not available as a 4/5-speed.
The Bottom Line: Recommended as the optimal combination of performance, comfort, appearance and price.
I hate buying cars. Last time I did so was in 1988 –a Chevy Caprice. It served me well, but, after 220K miles, had reached the end of its useful life. Time for another car. I decided to try the internet. I don’t think there even WAS an internet in 1988....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy interior, excellent power, good MPG.
Cons: So-so stereo, Fuel warning is a little early on the draw
The Bottom Line: The Impala LS is an all-around good car to own. This is the kind of car you will enjoy putting 200,000 miles on.
Wanted: Economical car with room for a future family, a good engine, and a comfortable ride.
This is what I was looking for, but I didn't start with the Impala. Instead, I test drove and researched the Pontiac Grand Prix, Bonneville or...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: On-Star, Value, Size, Features, Handling
Cons: Warranty, Road Noise
The Bottom Line: A surprisingly good car. If you need a bigger car for less money and don't care about resale value, this is the car for you.
It is not possible to fully appreciate the NEW Chevrolet Impala without seeing one up close, and driving it - the pictures do it no justice. In pictures the Impala seems to be a mid-sized sedan competing with the likes of Camry and Accord. In fact the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Styling, comfort, mileage, large trunk, dual heat/a-c controls, economy
Cons: Inability to switch between recirculate & fresh air on all heat/a-c settings
The Bottom Line: So far - so good! We love it and would recommend it to all.
I've had my LS for four months and 5K miles and have enjoyed driving it. We've taken several trips and we're pleased with the ride and the mileage (31 mpg interstate). We got a good deal on the price, as I'm sure everyone did this year, which sweetens...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, 3.8L, dual A/C controls, great fuel economy, nice ride and handling, huge trunk, On-Star
Cons: My wife says the front bucket seats need more padding.
Window embedded radio antenna is inferior
The Bottom Line: This model has proved itself in fleet use as well as by consumers. It is powerful, comfortable, safe and has great fuel economy.
I bought my 2001 Impala LS 3.8L used after researching numerous vehicles. The LS was one of the few at the time with a driver's side side air bag in addition to the steering wheel airbag. The Imp replaced an 89 Suburban with 300,000 ...

Pros: Used car bargain, large trunk, great city MPG.
Cons: Known defects such as ISS, poor dealer support, lacking radio/antenna
The Bottom Line: As a used car bargain, I recommend it.
We were looking to trade up our faithful family car, a 1992 Crown Vic. I wanted a full size car, with a large trunk, and less than 2 years old used. After searching and searching for another Crown Vic, my wife suggested an Impala test drive. This car is...

Pros: Great gas mileage, good pick up and comfort.
Cons: A/C vents don't adjust enough , uncomfortable front head rests.
The Bottom Line: I fully recommend the '01 Impala to anyone looking for a car with a great ride, good handling and pick up and fantastic gas mileage...and it looks great too!!!
The year before we bought our Impala, we rented one for our family vacation and drove it across the country. We were impressed, to say the least. Since owning our Impala, our opinion of the vehicle has not changed.
The car handles well and...
