Pros: Acceleration, Driving Ability

The Bottom Line: If you want a practical fun car this is a great one!

Pros: Ease to work on. Ride. Power. Fuel economy. Standard amenities

Cons: Lack of little things like memory seats, auto climate control. Placement of Trip Information.

The Bottom Line: Strong buy

Review: Got lucky. Bought a one owner with 30050 documented miles and still under the factory warranty . Serviced by the selling dealer; Mobil One since new, you don't just find this type of car everyday. The ride and the power stand out as something that ...

Pros: Handling; roomy; many standard options; well built; economical; good acceleration; great looks!

Cons: front skid guard scrapes over parking curbs; rough surfaces road noise; stereo good, not great.

The Bottom Line: This is one of the best values out there in sedans and IMO is better than the Honda Accord and equal to the Toyota Camry.

Review: I previously had a Lumina I liked and bought a used 2005 Impala from a rental company. I made sure it had at least anti-lock brakes and traction control. I then bought an upgraded back seat from a junk yard and then installed a leather kit over the ...

Pros: POWER POWER AND MORE POWER

Cons: thin steering wheel

Pros: Roomy, gas mileage, smooth ride, reliability.

Cons: Glove box has a very poor design. Sometimes has hard shift and strange start.

Pros: Roomy, smooth, great gas mileage, and a good price.

Cons: Not much, except for the poor quality interior materials.

The Bottom Line: 2005 is the last model year for this style. The Impala wll do the job with style and economy. The 2005 is much better than the updated 2006 Impala.

Review: Update January 2007: The car now has over 50K miles on it. I've been driving about 300 miles a week with no problems. The car remains quite and comfortable, without rattles or squeaks. The only maintenance I do is oil changes about every 5K miles and air ...

Pros: Trouble free, excellent gas mileage, bench front seat(kind of) easy clean interior.

Cons: Too many options that have evolved into standard equipment and not wanted, road noise.

Review: Bought an 05 almost new. In 95,000 kms. of driving I haven't had a bit of trouble with it. All I have done is regular maintenance. The gas mileage is excellent. Very nice interior that is easy to clean. I bought this car, because, it has a bench front ...

Pros: Good, ride, handling, and MPG.

Cons: Starter won't disengage. Cruise randomly disengages. Manufacturer makes excuses, and refuses to back product.

The Bottom Line: A vehicle is only as good as it's Manufacturer's willingness to back their product. Customers should make their choice to buy a vehicle with that prime consideration in mind.

Review: This car, which is just over 2 years old now, been driven very gently, and has just now clicked over 60K mostly road miles has been decent except for the run around from the "factory warranty". I'm impressed with the ride, handling, and definitely with ...
