I bought my 2001 Impala LS 3.8L used after researching numerous vehicles.   The LS was one of the few at the time with a driver's side side air bag in addition to the steering wheel airbag.  The Imp replaced an 89 Suburban with 300,000 miles.  I was looking for better gas... Read full review »

It is everything I expected in a car

Pros This car has lots of power, it is very comfortable and has classy looks.
Cons The aluminum wheels take a lot of care.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought my Impala LS at the end of November of 2001 as a new car. From the word go, it has been a very pleasing vehicle to own. I have the 3.8 litre engine, and it provides plenty of power for driving mountainous roads where passing distances can be short. I used it a year for a lengthy work... Read full review »

Pros power,style,drive,room,reasonable cost,high mileage, great engine
Cons There were two or three recalls but GM took care of each
Recommended it? Yes

I have had about 10 new cars so far in this life. The 01 Impala has been the best so far .... better than Toyota or VW and others. The 3800 engine is still full of power and never breaks down. Only one set of brakes in 77 K miles and the addition of Michelin tires made the drive even better. It... Read full review »

MEDIOCRE CLUNKER

bystevemay71 Jan 10, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros - roomy - quite - comfortable front seats - good A/C
Cons - (now) poor fuel mileage - unreliable - so so handling - rattling noises
Recommended it? No

A mediocre car at best. The Lumina (Impala's predecessor) was a more reliable vehicle; had less rattles, rode quieter and handled more predictable.

Bought mine used and then at 74K miles the trans valve body and the intake manifold gasket went out - this cost $2500+ to fix.

Back in 2001, my wife decided to buy a new car. We decided on the 2001 Impala because she needed the trunk space for the type of work she does. Since I have never liked Fords and having a very good experience with a 1994 Lumina, we decided on this car. We went to a factory-authorized dealer some 20... Read full review »

After driving what I thought was going to be a great car, has turned out to be quite the headache.

A spun bearing at at roughly 40,000 miles = a new engine ($3500). So much for the 3.8L being "bulletproof", this thing was babied, and oil changed every 3,000miles max.

Before the 01 Impala LS 3.8 I had a 99 Taurus and before that a Toyota. The Impala completely beats the hell out of both of them.

We bought a 2001 Chevy Impala two years ago and we all love it. It is very spacious, especially in the back seats where my two boys who are still in car seats sit. Even if my husband or I need to get in the back with them, there is plenty of room for us. I found that this car was just as spacious... Read full review »

As a previous Honda Civic owner, I was real reluctant to buy an American car. I had my share of woes to tell. However, when my mother-in-law bought this car, she loved it and never complained about any quality issues. So with a great financing rate, I decided to give it a try.

I hate buying cars. Last time I did so was in 1988 ?a Chevy Caprice. It served me well, but, after 220K miles, had reached the end of its useful life. Time for another car. I decided to try the internet. I don?t think there even WAS an internet in 1988. At least, not one with cars on it.
