This Year's Model Updates:

The supercharged Impala SS joins the lineup for 2004. Besides offering 240 horsepower, the SS features a tightened suspension to allow it to take corners with a bit more gusto. Base and LS models have redesigned bench and bucket seats, and a sport appearance package is now available on the base sedan.

Pros:
  • Six-passenger seating availability, good crash test scores, torquey V6 engines.
Cons:
  • Vague steering, soggy suspension on base and LS models, low-buck interior.

  • 2004 Impala LS - 2004 Chevrolet Impala

    This car has proved to be 95% of what I had hoped it would be. It is very comfortable, fuel efficient, plenty of room and performance is decent. I have 18,000 miles on it without any major problems and only one minor intermittent problem with dashboard lighting - sometimes becomes very dim, but only during daytime. I definitely recommend this car for anyone wanting a comfortable, safe and reliable car.

    Since driveing the 2004 Impala LS, it is a pleasure to drive. The 200 HP engine delivers great performance and is easy on the fuel bill. The transmission is smooth shifting upon excelleration and stopping. The ride is smooth and comfortable. Plenty of desired standard equipment. Recommend power seats, driver and passenger, for a better selection of individual desired comfort. Plenty of room inside and especially in the trunk for transporting cargo. I would compare this vehicle to a Cadillac for a a good deal of less money. Insurance is quite reasonable for a good driving record rates.

    I looked at the Honda TL for 2004 ....nice car alright but forget sticker prices and far away dealers and questions of service departments....I got a 2004 SS loaded with every option from heated seats to factory XM, CD, bilateral power seats, sun roof, supercharged motor rated one of the ten best motors ever built all for $25,+++ with the incentives...for this price I even like black which I was not looking for in the beginning.

  • Love my Impala ! - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    My car is great to drive around town, roomy enough to take the kids on vacation and school but sporty and fast enough to be fun to drive. Great gas mileage on trips as well. I love the looks and feel of it.

  • Half-way there - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    This is a nice ride which has a lot going for it. The 280lb-ft of torque is above average. The car is big, roomy, comfortable, and has a huge frickin trunk. Interior and Exterior styling is OK. (In my opinion the 2006 has a better interior, but worse exterior.) An SS needs to be a V8 rear wheel drive. The 2006 get us SS fans half way there.

  • 2004 Impala SS - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    Having been tempted to purchase a new Impala SS in 1996 but not doing so and observing the cult following the model has had since 1996, it was intriguing to hear that a 2004 version was being built. The current SS will never have the same aura as the 94-96 rigs because of its FWD V6 configuration, but it is still a marked improvement over the base and LS models. The 2004 Impala SS is also a great bargain in comparison to other similarly equipped vehicles. It feels great to drive and has a lot of available acceleration at any speed. I may seriously consider trading it in, though, if the rumors are true and a RWD V8 Impala is on the way.

  • fuel economy - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    my 3.4 litre impala may be a hot rod, may have a huge interior, may be quiet and cost thousands less than the japenese cars, but it looks great and doesnt burn any gas either. 33mpg at 75mph. get yours today

  • Good basic transportation - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    The Impala has been a good car for my needs as a sales rep, putting on over 50,000 miles a year. Nothing spectacular in performance, just good reliable transportation
