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.

    Got it used w/24k on it. Since I have had it I replaced two wheel hubs ($400 each), replaced instrument cluster assembly ($500... gas gauge had stopped working), replaced two heater cores ($900 each), replaced heater control head so the heat could actually get out the vents ($500), ABS light coming on ($1000), replaced steering shaft (warranty), ETC!!

  • Last Chevy I Will Ever Buy - 2004 Chevrolet Impala

    Speedometer went out at 66,000 miles ($379.93). Light went out on climate control, have to replace whole unit ($336.60). Sometimes windshield wipers don`t work at all. Or wont shut off. Service Traction System light comes on occasionally, then does upon restarting. It seems to me that there is some kind of electrical issue with these cars, as many people experience the same problems.

  • THE MONEY PIT!!!!!!!!!! - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I have had issues with the security sensor going hay wire, I have installed 2 water pumps in the past 2 yrs, breaks are an annual thing because they are being warped somehow, my battery keeps dying due to some kind of short that has not been found so I had to purchase a battery charger and charge my battery every 2 weeks to make sure I can crank the car and now my transmission is slipping and slamming when I reverse. This car rides smooth however between my annual expenses I have had more bad days then good with this car. Once I get the transmission fixed I am getting rid of this car unless I can get rid of it before then.

  • Silver LS Sport - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I took delivery on 4-27-04 and I have taken the car on one fairly long trip and I really, really like it. I have not seen any other cars exactly like mine, which makes me even more happy that i didnt get a camry or accord (i see those everywhere). I compared the impala to a LOT of other cars. I narrowed it down to the impala, the 05 altima, and the Mazda 6s. The altima was too expensive, and my wife didnt like it at all. The 6 was a good car, but was kinda expensive for its size. When i started to consider that i would have the car for about 10 yrs. i chose the impala. Every time i see the other two on the road, i am happy i made that decision.

  • Horrible - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I bought this car in 2004 new with maybe 500-1000 miles on it. They had to replace the dashboard, carpet, starter and thermostat while it was still under warranty. Now that it is not and I own it, it is falling apart. I have just replaced the thermostat and now they are saying it may need a new radiator.

  • Impala = SOLID FAMILY CAR - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    I am a 33 yr old woman with a husband and 2 children ages 7yrs and 3yrs old. The Impala by far has been the best family car I have ever owned. The child safty features are top of the line. The space inside the car is very large. Boys will be boys and mine tend to disagree often and this car provides the space they need to be in there own space and not invade the others personal zone. :) Did I mention the trunk is huge! My last car was a Mazda 626 and I felt I never had enough interior room or trunk space, well I have been spoiled by my Impala..plain and simple!

  • outstanding!! - 2004 Chevrolet Impala
    By -

    great car - Mine has all the options available except the sporty Corvette- inspired rearend which I hate the look of anyway. My first experience was renting one in January 2002 and ever since, Id had my eye on them. Smooth ride, excellent handling, plush comfort, reasonable price for the options I have. Highly recommend.
