Overview & Reviews
The Chevrolet Impala carries over largely unchanged for 2008. Satellite radio is now standard on all models, while the lower-level LS and LT models receive a standard six-way power driver seat. Stability control is now standard on 2LT, LTZ and SS trim levels, and the 3.9-liter V6 is now E85 ethanol-gasoline compatible.
- Powerful and efficient engine choices, available six-passenger capacity, good crash test scores.
- Cushy suspension hurts handling dynamics, subpar cabin materials, average legroom.

Bad Brakes and Poor Service! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
By Coleen Stevey - September 6 - 4:53 amSee alot of happy SS buyers here. Must be a different car. Had a 2002 Impala, wish we had it back. Car has been in the shop 2 times since bought. Going on second week. SUBSTANDARD BRAKES that are very front heavy! DEALER CUT BRAKE ROTORS TO FIX> 200 MILES ON CAR! Open rear windows if test driving and u will find heavy earsplitting wind noise. GAS ECONOMY MUCH LOWER than listed. XM SATELITE is not FREE, PRICE IS IN STICKER! Motor runs rough and motor peripherals whine upon starting when cold. Rear leg room very limited! SHOCKS substandard, feel like used making for bad turning. Phantom clunk in front end. GM says nothing in writing, stuck with car. Get it in writing!

This Is A Real Bow-Wow - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
By Fed Up - June 23 - 4:13 pmFor the upper end of Impalas, this has been a real joke. The rattles and windshield leaks make you feel like youre watching an outdoor concert of bad music. Hit a pothole and OnStar wants to know if everyone in the car is OK--even though they think Im about 80 miles from where I actually was . . . and they called back three times to verify that nothing was wrong. I listened to them more than the radio. Where do I find the fuse to kill that beast?

By bob - August 20 - 10:46 amBought this car hoping that it would be enjoyable to drive, however front end vibration, limited cupholders, wind noise around windows, cant put a map in drivers side door pocket, no glove box light, no vanity mirror lights, lousy radio. no locking gas door.
