Overview & Reviews

GM resurrected the Impala nameplate last year (a staple in Chevy's lineup from 1959 to the early '80s and then briefly from 1994 to '96) and put it on an all-new, full-sized sedan body that rides on the Lumina front-drive platform. Although the Lumina itself is still with us for the 2001 -model-year, Impala will eventually replace it as Chevy's large-car entry to battle the likes of Ford's Crown Victoria, Buick's LeSabre and Chrysler's LH cars.

• Six-passenger seating availability, big brakes, torquey V6 engines.

• So-so styling, no V8, wallowy suspension, big front-drive cars rarely sell as well as big rear-drivers.

  Junk - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By Impala Hater - December 23 - 2:00 am

  Weve had our Impala for 41,000 miles and I wish I had seen this site and others earlier. Our Impala already has had the AC Pump replaced and just recently the damn ignition cylinder locked on us!!!! There is no way that an ignition cylinder should go bad... ever... unless someone tried to break inot the car. GM needs to have a better warranty plan to cover parts and labor on items that really shouldnt break down. If something else happens to us, I think Ill take the advise of one of the angry people here and look up the Ohio Lemon Laws. Bottom line...if you get a Chevy, GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!!! Or better yet, get a Toyota or Honda!

  Way to go Chevy! - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By Safetyman - January 27 - 10:00 am

  Car is driven for business and personal use, miles pile on quickly. I spend 40+ hours a week in the car, and Ive enjoyed every minute & mile. Best Chevy Ive owned or been in since my dads 66 Impala. No comparison to the Chevys of the 80s or early 90s.

  Looks are deceiving - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By Rana - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Dont buy a vehicle on looks only. Yes it may be a sharp looking vehicle but what is really underneath it all? A load full of problems. I have a 2001 Impala with more problems than one person can handle. Realiable huh! Realiable to get you stranded on the side of the road! Beware and do more homework than I did!

  All systems work well. Much better all round vehicle than competition; i.e. Camry,etc., etc.

  WORTHLESS - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By jferri6 - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I have been intimately involved with automobiles for over 20 years and have never owned a vehicle that was as worthless as this one. it is my experience that there is 20%markup in ANY vehicle and over the first year it depreciates 20% so with this in mind my $25000 impala can be bought for 20K and would be worth approx 16k after the first year, well what a surprise it was to me to learn that this vehicle was only worth 12 grand at best after only the first year????? please dont be a fool like me , save your misery , or steal it.

  2001 Impala - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By ricfos - February 2 - 10:00 am

  I took delivery of this car on Octber 31, 2000. It was an ordered vehicle with all options but the sunroof (I need the headroom). Over 20,313 miles, over 5,000 of which were on a road trip from the Chicago area to Los Angeles and back, this car has been perfect. I have had NO (zero) problems with this car. It has averaged nearly 30 mpg at mostly interstate speeds, is as comfortable as any Cadillac or Lincoln Ive driven, and is a just very enjoyable to drive. It has most of the creature conveniences youd expect from a car costing $10,000 more. I love it!

  Did Edmunds test the same car I bought? - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By David Rogers - February 2 - 10:00 am

  I dont understand Edmunds beration of this vehicle. My Impala has been an absolute pleasure to own. We owned a 1990 Linc. Town Car prior to our 2002 Impala and had nothing but trouble with it. NO domestic can rival the Lincs air-ride, but the Impala comes very close. A more sporty ride, the Impala has better handling & does not "float" at speed as the Linc. does. Weve had only one problem, the sealed headlamp module on the drivers side failed & moisture got into the unit. Other than that the car has performed flawlessly. If you are looking for a solid, 6 passenger vehicle, with luxury car ride and feel, at a reasonable price, buy the Impala.
