overall spacious interior and trunk, although it could use more rear legroom and larger trunk opening. I like the front floor space of a three passenger seat. The engine has good acceleration and handles reasonable for everyday driving. Despite what most say, the build quality is good. The mode selector on the HVAC control could be designed so that it is easy to tell which mode one selects. For a full-size car this car gets good fuel economy especially on the highway. It would be good if Anti-Lock Brakes came standard on all models, on the other hand there is more underhood space, so it is easier to do maintenance especially doing brake fluid exchange. The car is comfortable for road trips or driving around town.

Big passenger area and big trunk, good power and fuel economy - The front bench seat was so comfortable that I don't think I could get up. Pickup is very good for a 211 Horsepower 3.5L V6. As far I had heard about bad reviews on Goodyear Integrity on 16" wheels, the ride and handling did not seem too bad at all. The used vehicle from Hendrick Chevrolet / Cadillac has the tires filled with Nitrogen. I am not sure if that may have improved the tire performance from those Goodyears. It has got a trip computer, oil life monitor, remote engine starting. However no Onstar and not E85 compatible. The build quality when I test drove the vehicle was good. I don't care what people say! On the flip side without ABS, brake servicing would be easier and no expensive parts to worry about replacing. In the future, I would plan on swapping out the back seats for ones that can fold down.

Performance - very good for base engine Build quality - I have had two of the new style impalas and they both have started having suspension noise around 40-50k, 1st car was tie rod end and I have not ben able to locate source of clunk in rear when going over bumps in the road, very annoying. Cost - I feel this is a great car for the money and have been very impressed with the gas mileage and average 30-33mpg in the summer months.

The car is pretty good when taking off but do to its 3.5L engine it lacks the ability to take off with power and efficiency, it doesn't give that big shot of adrenaline that other cars could. I know it's a 6 cylinder car but still chevy should have added a little more to these V6 engines.

I owned a 2008 Impala, named Rosy. She drove wonderful, handled great and was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I personally would still have this vehicle if it wasn't totaled by some random driver at 2:30am while parked on the street. This vehicle never failed me and drove like a dream.
