  09 Impala - 2009 Chevrolet Impala
  By Impala Owner - April 2 - 2:42 pm

  Ive had this car for three months and am generally satisfied. The gas mileage is excellent and the ride and handling are OK to good. The car is roomy. Outside visibility is somewhat hindered because of the door posts. No trouble so far. I would characterize this car as bland satisfactory basic transportation but other cars might offer more for the money.

  Severe Neck & Back Pain - 2009 Chevrolet Impala
  By Jan Burns - February 19 - 2:37 pm

  Ive had this car for less than 2 months and I have had horrible neck & back pain the bulk of the time. Husband complained about the passenger seat on a 3 hr trip being uncomfortable as well. The head rest pushes your head forward and after intense arguments with the dealer, we were able to get written instructions on how to remove it and turn it around (Dealer would not touch it !) Im now under the care of a chiropractor. Now I drive with a full size bed pillow just to make the 30 mile drive to work without pain. I love all its neat features, smooth & quiet ride, classy interior, but cant wait to park it and relieve my pain. Probably will sell or trade it soon.

  Back Ache - 2009 Chevrolet Impala
  By JL - January 21 - 1:00 pm

  Althrough Ive had this car for only a short time, less than three weeks, I did drive a 2008 Impala for a year (company car). Because of the pleasant experience with the 08 I decided to buy an 09 when I had to return the company car. However I find the 2009 to be extremely uncomfortable as compared with the 2008, specifically the lumbar. It doesnt deflate all the way as it should, and it really really hurts my back (and others who have driven my car). This seems to be the way it is on all 2009s. (No problem with the 2008s.) Ive been told "this is the way it is" and nothing can be done. This flaw should be corrected but I suspect it will not be because its not a safety issue.
