2010 Chevrolet Impala User Reviews

Nice Basic Sedan With A Few Nice/unexpected Appointments — I bought this car after having a 2003 Cadillac STS. It is not the same car, of course, but for the price it is a pretty good substitute. I have the LT version and it's fun to drive and gets much better gas mileage than the Caddy.

2010 Chevy Impala With 50k Miles — I like the fuel economy considering the size of the car. I also like the trunk space. The car handles very well. It would be a little better if it had more options. Overall, great reliable vehicle with low miles.

I Will Never Recommend This Car Or Purchase One Until Gm Makes The Seats More Comfortable — My company supplies us the Impala for company business. My territory covers Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. I have been impressed with the overall performance and reliability as well as the appearance. However, I would never purchase one of these cars and have strongly recommended that others NOT purchase it if they will drive long distances. The seats are so hard you cannot hardly spend more than an hour without the tail going numb. My customers and coworkers (that don't have company cars) always make the comment that the seats are hard. All of my coworkers that have the Impala and cover large territories complain about it. It has become a source of conversation when we all get together these days. I had a 2004 that was very comfortable but since then I have had a 2006, 2008, and now a 2010. My wife cannot stand riding in this car very long. I am 50 years old and 6' and 240 lbs but my wife is only 5'4' and about 100 lbs but this doesn't matter. The headrest on the 2010 model also now leans forward making the head lean forward uncomfortably. I have purchased a memory foam cushion from a truck stop to ease the pain of sitting on the hard seat. I also spent about $130 on a sacro-ease seat back. This is money very well spent but it is a shame that this is what it takes to make the Impala tolerable on long trips. Please note that my territory requires driving sometimes 8 hours one way but still even one hour is very tough. I am considering going to a business mileage reimbursement and driving my own vehicle even though it will cost me a lot more money over a year's driving. The bolltom line is why can't GM take a car that performs so well in other areas but in a seat that makes driving it comfortable. I have had both bench and bucket and they both are uncomfortable. My company does not supply the leather option which I read from others is very comfortable. What a shame. The only other complaint is the chrome ring around the shifter on the console. When traveling south late in the afternoon causes the sun to reflect into my eyes. I have to cover it with something when this happens.
