Serving Eastern Arkansas for over 40 years. shoes and rotors, oil and filter every 3K, antifreeze twice, one thermostat, trans fluid twice, gas filter 3 times, 4 or 5 sets of wipers, one windshield and 3 sets of tires.
On more then several occasions we have hauled longer more over-sized items then our SUV can comfortably carry, with the Impala's fold down/flat rear seat and very spacious trunk. Very well designed GM.
This Impala handles well and has a very comfortable ride and seating with heated leather bucket seats. This car has never let us down. Parts are relatively inexpensive and for the most part it's easy to work on. We take this vehicle on trips regularly now (it's retired from commuting duties-we needed a 4wd), and I would not hesitate a second to drive it across country (which we have) today.
We also still to this day get around 30 MPG with the super tall transmission gearing it has with the 3.4L engine. Yes that was measured many times with a calculator at fill-up, and not relying on the overhead computer the Impala has.
To put things into prospective this Chevrolet gets way better MPG (approx 5 MPG better) AND is (was) way more reliable then our 2007 EXL V6 Honda Accord we also bought new and just got rid of after 12 painful years of ownership... Just a few of the problems we had.. Rear main seal leaked like the Valdez one day out of nowhere- had to pull engine trans to repair, can you say expensive ($1,300) to replace a $10 seal!-power steering unit needed to be replaced just out of 3 year 36000 mile warranty.. More $$- tires wore funny on the edges despite the 4 wheel alignment being within specs- timing belt replacement expensive required Honda maintenance the Impala simply doesn't need!-All within 100K miles of ownership which was 100% ridiculous if you ask me! Not to mention the clunky/crunchy (don't ask!) transmission from new and what can only be described as "cheap leather" used on the seats due to major cracking despite being only 9 yeas old and being conditioned just as often as the Impala's seats were, which have not cracked being 4 years older.. Yeah the Honda Accord was a real winner... Sure wish we would have just bought two Impalas and saved quite a bit of money on maintenance alone (approximate 5-6 grand of maintenance the Impala never needed to date comparatively), AND even more $$ considering the Honda was also around 14 grand more then the Impala was new...Yes the Honda sold for more then the Impala is worth, but certainly not anywhere near that $14K more! (try a quarter of that).
