2006 Chevrolet Impala

Pros: Fit and finish, looks, refinement, handling, ride, brakes

Cons: Rear visibility, tight steering at parking speed

The Bottom Line: Recommended. Value for the money is unsurpassed. Looks and feels like a more expensive car. Previous model was very reliable.

Review: The 2006 Chevy Impala that I am reviewing is actually my 72 yr. old mother's car. Impala LT in Glacier Blue with Grey interior and silver accents.I helped her pick it out and drove it home (she was too exhausted after crying on the way to the dealer ...

Pros: Fun. Powerful V8 Engine. Has a solid Luxury quality feel. Fun (Did I say that?)

Cons: Rear visibility poor. Some won't like the simple style.

The Bottom Line: Quality built. Proven Chevy performance. Puts the "fun" back into driving. Can't you see me smiling?

Review: A few weeks ago I received a brochure from GM in the mail introducing the new 2006 Impala. On the front of the brochure is silver 2006 Impala SS. Looking at the photo I was not overly impressed. The new design looked stylish but in a generic way. ...

Pros: Incomparable acceleration, superb handling, excellent audio, quiet cabin, superior fit and finish.

Cons: DIC lettering could dim more at night, lack of availability of OEM Navigation system.

The Bottom Line: The new 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS is simply the best sports sedan available on the market today, is a compelling buy and easily competes with the very best foreign competition.

Review: This car is simply the best automobile Chevrolet has offered for sale in a very, very long time. It is a grand example of sports sedan combined with high quality highway cruiser with its powerful engine, superior fit and finish, quiet cabin interior, ...

Pros: Impressive performance, 18'' wheels are gorgeous, remote start, Bose sound system

Cons: Fuel mileage not up to specs, no telescoping steering wheel, indistinguishable rear end.

The Bottom Line: For under 30k, one would be hard pressed to match this car. It is much improved over previous model year Impalas. Great car for the money!

Review: I have had my '06 SS for 1 month and let me say, WOW! Black with ebony leather interior, yeah! My car has me so excited that I wanted to write my very first review on Epinions, so I hope I do an adequate job for everyone. Chevrolet really did their ...

Pros: POWER! Audio!

Cons: Seat lateral support

Review: I have owned Hondas, Acura, and Nissan for the last 25 years. I like good handling and tight steering. At first I was skeptical about the Impala. However, I am VERY impressed with the Impala SS my husband bought for me. There is certainly no shortage ...

Pros: Engine, Interior Comfort, Fit N Finish

Cons: Very small side view mirrors

Review: I recently had the pleasure of test driving a 2006 Impala LT with the 3.9L V-6 and it was a true joy. In my opinion the styling of the Impala is great with a multitude of nice features like flip n fold rear seats, radio and climate controls with a ...

Pros: GM hit a homerun with this car and I am not a GM fun.

Cons: The back seats could use a little more leg room.

Review: I love my Impala LTZ. I bought it three weeks ago and I have been getting over 20 mpg all city driving. The car is very smooth and quiet and the engine has a lot of power. I don't undertand why some people don't think the car has a good looking exterior, ...

Pros: Good handling and decent styling. Good value for money.

Cons: Dashboard styling. Rear window visibility. Acceleration just adequate.

The Bottom Line: The 2006 Chevy Impala offers good performance on most fronts for a reasonable price.

Review: I recently had the opportunity to rent a 2006 Chevy Impala over five days. I drove the vehicle about 350 miles, with about half the mileage in the city and half on highways, which included some smaller roads through the foothills near Denver, CO. I ...

Pros: Power, comfort, space, reliability

Cons: Gas mileage

The Bottom Line: If you're at all intrigued by the Impala, take a look at it, it's a great car as long as you keep its intended purpose in mind.

Review: When our twin boys arrived, increasing our family from one to three children under the age of 3, my VW Jetta turbo wagon was traded in on a new Toyota Sienna. Of course my wife was driving the Sienna, and I inherited her Mercury Mountaineer. Very ...

Pros: Competitively priced, optional factory remote start, spacious, powerful, comfortable, updated look and terrific daily driver.

Cons: 3.9L fuel economy is not great.

The Bottom Line: Good solid vehicle, with luxury and a touch of sport. It's fun to drive, it is quick, and yet comfortable on everyday roads.

Review: The 2006 Impala is built on an updated W-Body platform, which has been around for a couple decades now. In 1996, I bought a 1992 Lumina Euro with the 3.1L that was also a W-body and survived a harsh life before and during my ownership. All-in-all, I ...
