I've owned this model in the past and always found it a reliable vehicle. I searched for a more recent version of the Chevy Impala not really knowing if I would like it as well as previous models. I love it! It is good looking and well built. I enjoy a nice smooth ride - it provides me the comfort of a luxury car at a much lower price tag!

When I first purchased the Chevrolet Impala, I liked the shape of it and the fact that it was a somewhat longer car. I believed a longer car would be safer on the interstate. I really liked how smoothly it rode and how comfortable and roomy the car's seats were for both my arms and legs while driving. The Impala handled bumpy roads well and it has been easy to maneuver. I also really liked the size of the trunk and the amount of materials I could put into it. I have loaded everything from laundry and groceries to wood and rocks into the trunk, sometimes with room to spare. However, I have not appreciated the various issues that I have had with the vehicle since I purchased it slightly over a year ago. Since purchasing it, the ignition has needed to be replaced, the gas gauge has stopped working properly and I need to top off the tank every few days to be sure I still have gas it. Also, the speedometer runs about seven miles per hour above the actual speed. It has 78,000 miles on it at this time. The body is still in decent shape for its age, but it certainly lacks a shiny appearance. The radio and its sound quality has been good and I have no complaints regarding steering and control overall.
