  • Best car Ive owned yet - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    After 2 years of owning this car Ive only had one problem with it(catalytic converter) and GM fixed it free of charge. The ride is very smooth and power of the 3.8L V6 is wonderful. Its very spacious with lots of room in the trunk. Ive driven this car from Nebraska to Florida and to North Carolina and back with absolutely no problems. The gas mileage is good as well for a V6.

  • Ups & Downs - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I have had my beautiful Impala for just over 3 years now. I have had quite a few repairs but I still love this car. Its fun to drive and looks great. When it does run it runs great and I will admit that I am slightly rough on it by driving it so much. I would totally own another one and I do realize that repairs come with each vehicle. I would suggest this to someone looking for a car.

  • Love This Car! - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I do a lot of heavy driving and have already racked up a lot of miles since purchased. It is very comfortable and has lots of room, and more than enough power. It is very quiet and steers perfectly straight, and has not had any problems or issues. The gas mileage has been incredible, ranging from around 30 to 35mpg (in hard winter driving). I also love the 5 star safety rating. I have been so impressed with this car that I bought a second one for my wife. I pity the poor fools that think they have to drive cramped Japanese econo-boxes to get great gas mileage!

  • After 3000 Miles - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    After putting 36,000 miles on it I traded my 2000 Impala(3.4 L engine)in on a 2003 Impala (3.8 L engine). I bought the 2003 without getting the LS package because I liked the bench seat. The newer car has several improvements such as dual A/C controls, steering wheel mounted radio/CD controls, more powerful stereo, fold-down rear seat, and traction control. It also has better stock tires.

  • Best Car for the Money - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    Being retired I looked hard and long at autos to purchase. With all the rebates and incentives the Impala is the best buy. The 200 hp is more then enough for the hilly Pittsburgh Area and a recent trip to Washington DC yielded 30 mpg. The radio is excellent and while others may call the interior a bit bland I think its just sensible. Unless you are trying to impress others buy this car.

  • Great Car Until the End - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    Love the car overall until the end. Great gas mileage also spacious. But ended up blowing a piston. Would own another.

  • i love my car! - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    im one of few teenagers out there driving impalas. but i love my car! it was really simple to get used to driving it. its big enough inside to seat 4 friends + me comfortably, and the trunk space definitly helped with moving to college. its a smooth ride, even when some accidental offroading has occured. steep hills are no problem, and i love the fast acceleration. also the gas mileage rocks. i made it from connecticut to the middle of virginia on one tank!

    Great car for the money. Rides great, price unreal, great family car, you cant go wrong. Can ride a little boatee if you take the corners like a teenager.

  • impressive - 2003 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    We have been very impressed with this automobile. It has performed flawlessly. We are glad that we chose the LS version. Even though it is only rated at 205 hp, it accelerates rather quickly and reaches freeway limits more rapidly than I would have expected from such a small engine. It holds the road very well and it handles curves with no sway, a feature I was VERY surprised with.
