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.

  Try It! Youll Buy It - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Bud - October 16 - 2:43 am

  I traded in a 99 STS. Im very happy with my new SS. Power, comfort is all there. I had torque steer B4 you learn to drive with it. Sideview mirrors are much more aero than the ones on the STS.Side curtins great saftey improvment. Engine very smooth and much quicker than the STS. Dont like the trim around the dash and the unfinished door jams,still a nice car.

  310 Horses never felt soooo good - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Terry - October 15 - 4:36 pm

  I traded my 2002 LS because it was underpowered and this cars PERFECT. Its just what the boredom doctor ordered. The fun starts when you hit the accelerator. Gas mileage is about 18.2 but who cares. the exhiliration is worth 10mpg. Reminds me a little of my 67 GTO except it was rear wheel drive. Love the leather and XM but most impressive is the diagnostic center. All 4 tire pressures? Cant get much better than that. If youre looking for a sleeper, come drive this car, you wont regret it.

  2006 SS Impala - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By jack - October 13 - 12:46 pm

  I recently purchased a 2006 SS and I have to say that I have been impressed. This SS is a blast. This car is not a BMW or some make that costs 2 To 3 times as much. It is a very competitively priced car that will do 150+, gets 25+ MPG and will out accelerate just about anything in its class 0-60 MPH. If you want to pay 40- $60,000 for a foreign car that will do this then great, but for my money, this car is has big bang for the buck.

  My Review - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Ken - October 12 - 12:13 pm

  Overall a decent sedan. A good family car that has good interior features. In all fairness, I am a truck person but the high gas prices influenced me to buy a sedan.

  Performance and value - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By JohansenRJ - September 29 - 5:40 pm

  Great value and comfortable car. Smooth and powerful. Great exhaust note too. Not a soulless Japanese import, this vehicle has character. Cant get the V8 performance, OnStar, or fun factor on a Camry or Accord. The downside is the fuel economy (the ratings are a joke, 16 city, 24 highway is more realistic)

  The perfect car - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By todd stokes - September 29 - 4:00 pm

  The impala is the best car on the market. The impala has head room,leg room,lots of trunk room. I can get in and out of this car with ease no falling out on the ground to get out. It has a great ride easy handling lots of power. It is a great family car for someone also. For the money you can not go wrong with the impala.

  2006 Impala SS - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By SVB - August 20 - 5:26 pm

  Just got my Impala SS 5days ago and have been driving it constantly...Im on vacation. I find the power unbelievable, love the exterior and interior, and am loving driving it. It has been fun learning how to work and program all the toys that are standard as well as all the optional equipment I got with the car. I love the car and would recommend it to anyone interrested in purchasing a full size performance sedan.

  Love this car as I did my 1969 Impala - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Chris - August 15 - 3:56 pm

  After reading reviews on this car, I decided to purchase a used Impala LT with a 3.9L engine in March, 2007. This Impala is everything I want in a larger car. On a 200 mile round trip to upstate New Jersey I got 30.6 mile per gallon. Combined city and trip driving I get 26 miles per gallon. City only driving I get about 24 MPG. Of course when I run the air conditioner the MPG is lower, but not significantly. My wifes Honda Accord gets about the same MPG, and it is a four cylinder. When driving long distances, comfort is important to me because I have a bad back. The Impala is the most comfortable car I have ever driven, and my back never bothers me after driving this car.

  Great Impala - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Raym0016 - August 4 - 6:50 pm

  I have had this car for 2 weeks and every time I drive it I like it more and more. The hadling in this Impala is much better than the previous and the 3.9L engine really gets this car moving. The new engine is a great replacement for the venerable 3800! Styling is understated and the interior could have come out of a Cadillac DTS (like the radio and steering wheel). The LTZ is great entry level luxury for less than 28k! Nice job Chevy!

  New Impala is HOT - 2006 Chevrolet Impala
  By Ken - July 4 - 11:50 am

  This 2006 SS Impala is just what I was looking for. It has plenty of power and gets reasonable gas mileage with the DOD system about 18 MPG in city driving. The head room is perfect for the tall person and leg room is great. The trunk is big enough for four sets of golf clubs. If you want power and a full size car this one is mucher hotter then the Cadilac STS for a lot less money.
