I love this car. I dont understand why chevy quit making them. If you love impalas like I do, then you will not be disappointed.

I've had several Impalas , an 04 with a brown canvass top. Car survived 21 years of nys winter before underneath rusted out.

I haven't had this car very long. So far, acceleration is smooth, transmission is nice and tight. It's a very comfortable ride: seats, dual climate control, head and leg room, all great. Visibility is not as good as I'd like, and it does NOT have standard ABS or traction control. Though earlier models were more remarkable, it's a very pretty car with nice lines. Interior feels stylish and solid. The little extras are sweet, like remote start and mp3 jack. I haven't had a ton of road time with mine yet, but I did take it on a 1500-mile trip with my infant and it was the only good thing about traveling. If it had not been such a wonderful ride, the trip would have been much more difficult. Gas mileage is incredible, especially for a full-size sedan. I can expect 29-30 with mostly highway driving, but I've gotten 34-36 mpg on two separate tanks of gas (interstate driving) and mid-20's in town. Haven't required any maintenance yet. Considering the absence of ABS, it brakes very well. In fact, the brakes were the first thing I noticed when I drove it off the lot; you breathe on them and they respond. The ride home was a little jerky, but I now love how responsive the braking system is. Acceleration is equally so, though it took less getting used to. Cabin is virtually devoid of road noise in caparison with other cars I've owned/driven. Everything about it feels solid and spacious. The trunk storage is expansive. The standard sound system is very nice; it's far more than I expected. Having spent a little less than 2000 miles in a 2009 Impala before, I knew I would enjoy the car, but I'm very very happy with how easy it has been to get used to being in it and handling it overall.

I like the way this car handles in traffic , the brakes are great the fit and finish of the car are good and it gets fairly good gas mileage 23 in town and 29 on the freeway. It just needs to be a little bigger for my family.

Pros & Cons Powerful and efficient engine choices, can seat up to six, high crash test scores, handsome styling inside and out. Soft suspension hurts handling dynamics, some interior materials still not equal to the top rivals, stability control is not available.
