Overview & Reviews

The Impala receives significant updates for 2006. On the outside, Chevrolet has altered the Impala's styling with new headlights, taillights and wheels. The SS trim also gets a unique grille this year. Inside, the Chevy car features updated audio systems, a redesigned instrument panel, new seats, standard side curtain airbags and an available fold-flat rear seat. Mechanical changes include a stronger body structure, retuned suspension geometry for enhanced stability and improved braking systems. There are also new engines for the Impala: a base 3.5-liter V6, an upgraded 3.9-liter V6 and a new 5.3-liter V8 for the SS trim, which replaces last year's supercharged V6. Finally, the lineup of trim levels has been shuffled slightly to accommodate a new luxury-oriented LTZ trim.

• Six-passenger seating availability, powerful and efficient engine choices, clean interior styling, standard side curtain airbags.

• Soft suspension and vague steering detract from handling dynamics, SS has to put its 300 hp through the front wheels.

  Girls want to have fun too! - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Nikki from Chicago - December 11 - 1:50 pm

  I love this car! My husband suggested I buy the car (I believe he wanted the car :) Now he cant keep me out of the it. I have to behave. Ive already received 2 speeding tickets. Overall the car is everything I wanted. The drive is smooth, the look is sporty, the sound system is crystal clear, the power is there when you need it. I would buy another one.

  Great American Car - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Maxx Promotions - November 15 - 9:47 pm

  I bought my Impala LT2 brand new. It now has just over 46K miles. It is a very comfortable car with tons of luggage space in the trunk. The rear seats are roomy. The 3.9L engine has plenty of power. The only irritating thing is the intermittent clicking noise that comes from the left side just below the drivers footboard. Other than the clicking noise, it is a very reliable car.

  One of the best cars I have ever owned! - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By priggly - October 10 - 5:28 am

  I have now owned my 2006 Chevrolet Impala SS for over three years and have no complaints whatsoever. The car is quiet, fast, comfortable and without problems of any kind. I have had the power steering hose replaced plus the battery, both under warranty, and otherwise, no problems. The car is very fun to drive with its 5.3 liter engine and 303 HP plus 323 lb.-ft. of torque. It will snap your neck back into the head rest in a hurry, that is for sure! The quality of the car is certain. All the switches and controls are solid and feel like they are in a car costing much more. The sound system is of high quality and sounds great regardless of the genre of music played. The XM is fabulous.

  I just bought my new Impala LS. The base model has everything I need. Onstar side, impact airbags, Power windows, locks, 8way power drivers seat and a 211HP V6. It has great handling and pickup. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  One of the best cars I have ever owned! - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By priggly - October 5 - 2:18 am

  I have now owned my 2006 Impala SS for forty months and have to say that it is absolutely one of the very best cars that I have ever owned. It is blindingly fast, exceedingly comfortable, handles very well, quiet, solid, free of problems and generally of extreme quality. I have had very few problems with the car and which are limited to a bad battery which was replaced under warranty and a defective power steering hose/clamps, also done under warranty. The dealer service experience has also been unparalleled with polite, competent and thoroughly professional service each and every time I have taken the car in for service. I have been most impressed with the level of professionalism.

  Real Sleeper - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Clark - September 13 - 2:46 pm

  Excellent fit, finish, and materials. Performance and economy are nicely balanced; 3500 miles and already exceeding 30 mpg averages in highway driving. Variable valve timing gives power and economy. Handling is not on par with my 83 VW GTI, but it wasnt stock, either. Interior comfortably accomodates my teenage daughters and all their accoutrements. Bucket seats are significantly improved from previous years versions. Fold down rear set is a convenient touch--and the seating doesnt suffer in comfort.

  By NYGLT56 - August 6 - 10:54 am

  Bought my 06 Impala with 36,000mi on it in 2007. Since then I have put 46,000mi on it. It has never been in the shop for repairs. I average 29 mpg on the highway and 22 in the city. I can some times get up to 31 on the highway and thats great form the 3.9L engine it has.

  I have had this car for 10000 miles and so far I absolutely love it. Handles really well on the highway and in the city. Good gas mileage for a car this size. Very comfortable on the long drive. Lots of power for passing and I love the looks

  Nice Car - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By DoconTEX - August 4 - 11:53 pm

  Only had it 3 days, but I really like this car. Had a 2000 LS and put 145,000 mile on it with no significant problems. This car has great performance, acceleration, handling. It is quiet and the radio and sound system is fantastic. Mileage is not as good as I would have hoped, but it is just getting broken in and I havent taken it on any lengthy drives yet. All in all, I am very pleased
