The 2001 Impala showed few changes from the 2000 model, with the notable exception of standard OnStar for the LS trim.
Reviewers have touted the car for being an excellent family vehicle as well as a sharp-looking, police-car-like ride. It gets excellent mileage for a full-size sedan at 20 city/32 highway for the standard and 20/29 for the LS.
The mileage certainly does not come at the expense of the engines, a robust 3.4-liter V6 rated at 180 horsepower for the standard vehicle and a 3.8-liter V8 rated at 200 horsepower for the LS.
The car is fun-to-drive, especially when the family car is a solo vehicle. ;) It corners at excellent speed, and sometimes feels as though it could take flight.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the comfort and performance of the 2001 Chevrolet Impala, especially its good gas mileage and spacious interior. Many fondly mention its reliable pickup and solid handling. However, some have had troubling experiences with repair costs, particularly regarding the intake manifold and transmission issues. While many feel it’s a fun car to drive, others highlight the need for regular maintenance."
I have owned this car for a year now, and the only problem we've had with it was the catalytic converter went out a few months ago. However, the engine has 133k miles on it and it still roars when i want it to. I love the leather interior and heated seats.
March 22, 2008My wife and I purchased this car from our uncle. He purchased the car from his fire chief where he is a volunteer firefighter, for his son's first car; fire chief's mother purchased car brand new and put 58,000 miles on it it 11 years. We purchased vehicle upon returning from work overseas in November 2012 and were amazed at the condition of the car for being a 2001. It literally ran like new. We have had to replace the original battery and replaced brake system in late 2013. My wife likes it because it's reliable and safe to ride around with our 14 month old son. She also likes it because when we had snow and ice in February 2013 in Nashville she started sliding on road which initiated traction control and she stopped sliding immediately.
March 13, 2014I've had an excellent experience with my Impala and would recommend it to any one looking for a 4 door American made sedan. The interior is nice, Chevy did very well with the dash design and the over all flow of the interior. Additionally its roomy I'm 6'2 275 lbs and I fit in the driver seat comfortably. Lastly it handles exceptionally and does pretty good on gas.

February 14, 2014If you can find a model with the 3800 engine and lower mileage, you're sure to have a vehicle that the engine will outlast all the other parts on it. They ride extremely comfortable and feel very solid. There is an average amount of road noise. Minor hiccups and repairs along the way, this vehicle is still an excellent choice.
January 12, 2015If you are gonna buy an impala, go for the LS. It looks better, has mag wheels not caps, a spoiler and a sunroof. It also has a larger engine.
December 19, 2007the quality is as good as it gets. the performance is in the upper level, it has the 3800 series II v6.the price isnt bad for the quality and performance. its a front wheel drive v6 with some get up and go. its a very soild car for the price.
November 16, 2008Have over 200,000 miles on it now and it doesn't leak any fluids. If you take care of your car, it will take care of you.
April 9, 2008Fun yet practical daily driver. Good gas mileage, good looking, and dependable. Maintenance costs starting to get the better of my wallet but I like to keep my vehicles in good shape and ready to go. This one's a keeper.
January 22, 2011Great gas mileage for this size car. Lots of space for comfort. Has pick-up and go when needed. Very affordable for our family. Easy to maintain and service on my own. Overall a fun car to own/dirve. Love the torch red color.
March 6, 2009I love my impala. It gets great gas miles. It rides very comfortable. Its got a nice engine under the hood. It hasn't cost that much to up keep. It survived hitting a deer with minimal damage. Its got a nice pick up to it.
