  gas guzzler - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By bogey54 - November 9 - 1:30 am

  Fairly satisfied with vehicle. Fuel economy is VERY FAR below advertised, and no, I dont have a heavy foot. I average about 18 mpg - the car was advertised as 25-30 mpg. This is including city (40%) and highway (60%) miles.

  Great Car - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By walter stanley - September 26 - 6:49 pm

  This vehicle has provided great reliability (oil changes and 1 set of brake pads @50000 miles), exceptional gas mileage(when I drive consertively I get 32/35 MPG), lots of room, good comfort, performance when required, acceptable styling and a good price. Im totally satisfied with the car and intend to buy another one in 2006. I think this car is the best value vehicle that GM or anyone else makes for this size car.

  The LS is a quality buy you wont regret - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By Kla_brown - September 16 - 6:34 pm

  The car was purchased after my 99 Grand Am was totaled. The car is sturdier, smoother ride and definately more luxury. Gas mileage is better than the Pontiac, insurance is cheaper and so are the plates. My black LS is sleek and stylish without feeling like a grandma car!!

  Great Car - 2002 Chevrolet Impala

  I have really enjoyed the Impala. The seats are great and it is a lot of fun to drive. It sticks to the road well in the turns and has a responsive engine and transmission. I think the up coming sports package will help the exterior look a more stylish. Great sedan.

  Good, but needs some improvements - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By wallyuwl - July 9 - 12:39 am

  Bought last August with 33k miles. Now 50k. Brake rotors from factory are soft and warp easy (had already been replaced under warranty before we got the car), replaced them with ones from Car Quest (and put on ceramic pads). Stops great now, and the parts shouldnt wear out for a long time. Will do the back in the next few months. Thermometer was bad, and they found an intake manifold gasket leak ($600) while fixing that, which I guess is somewhat common in GM vehicles and is caused by the Dex-Cool coolant they use. I got that flushed and had different coolant put in. Should be good now. Have done a few other maintenance things that would have to be done with any car.

  Walkers review - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By eric walker - June 21 - 2:20 pm

  This is an excellent car, the best Ive ever driven. Fuel economy is great for the size of the vehicle. Its comfortable, roomy, and good looking. I havent had a single problem with the car.

  Still Love our 02 Impala - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By mesaba - April 20 - 3:16 pm

  Still a wonderful family vehicle after three years. No problems whatsoever, lots of room for two adults, a toddler and an infant. Trunk is massive and holds stroller and luggage for a weekend trip to the cabin. We broke it in well and regularly see 32 mpg on the highway using our own calculations (not the computer which shows 34 mpg). For the price it cant be beat. The engine and handling is more than sporty enough for a mid 30s family of four. No BMW but still very nice.

  02 LS...Love it Love it Love it - 2002 Chevrolet Impala
  By Randy - January 13 - 10:01 pm

  Bought this car used in October of 2004. At time of purchase the odometer was at 26,827. I have since then put about 5000 miles on the car and have not had one problem yet. This car is truly fun to drive, and the performance is terrific for a car so large. Saving now for a new 2005 Impala SS.
