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.

  best car ever made!! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By J Finch - March 16 - 5:27 pm

  When I was at the dealership trading in my Dodge ram, I had in mind *I need something reliable* well having had my ram for only 7 months and having it in the shop 6 times had me kinda discouraged. Well I came across this impala, loved it at first sight. Unfortunately the only problem I have with the car is that every other impala seems to be the same shade of light Gray! Well that being said I love everything else! The 3.5 liter engine is powerful! And Ive gotten 36 miles per gallon on the highway, and average 24.6 in the city, which isnt bad! The trunk is huge! The interior is nicely done and the seats are the most comfortable and supportive Ive ever sat in and the ride is amazing!

  I have fallen in love...with a car! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala

  The impala has made driving fun for me again. It handles very well, quiet engine, plenty of power and it looks great inside and out. Im also saving money on gas these days. I was able to buy my car with extremely low mileage at a great price. I looked around and for the money you cant beat what you get with the impala.

  second to none - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By lonw - March 6 - 4:41 am

  This is my second Impala my other was the 2003 model, the 2008 is just as nice and seems quicker when you put the petal down, far better gauge display then the 2003.

  A daily driver shouldnt be this fun! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By DC - February 13 - 3:41 pm

  Handles great, steering is snappy and sharp, (some say clunky, but for a spirited driver, its perfect). Combined with 4 doors and a large trunk, its sporty and versatile. Opted for the silverstone metallic with black leather, sharp! Great stereo, firm but comfy seats with heaters. XM and OnStar are great. 303hp doesnt hurt either. Have scared a lot of tuners on the line when the 5.3L makes the tires scream (just remember to turn off the traction control). And it even runs on regular 87 octane! (Tell that to your Charger owners!)

  Excellent car, good on fuel, comfortable - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Larry D - February 4 - 7:02 pm

  Excellent car, all round driving fuel economy of 27 with 50% and town driving. Comfortable ride, solid feel on the highway. Would advise anyone to test drive if looking for an American car.

  Looking Good! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Bill B - January 26 - 12:26 pm

  Bought vehicle 11/08. Was a rental car so a few nicks in the body but in great shape. Great car, good gas mileage. Averaged about 24 mpg on only long distance trip I have taken so far. Great comfort and XM radio is a great bargain. Havent listened to AM-FM radio yet. Smooth ride. Heated seats are a big plus. Fantastic pick up and it turns a lot of heads with I drive in to the store or church. V8 sounds tough and kicks it when you step on the gas! Couldnt be happier with the purchase. Chevy hit a homer with this one.

  Great Car - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Ron D. Rice - January 18 - 3:31 pm

  Have considered this car to be one of the best purchases in the auto line that I have ever made.In varied driving, mostly town/local (two trips) I have been averaging close to 27 MPG. (Trips 31, daily 24), which I believe quite remarkable for this size of car. Have had no problems at all.

  Great Car! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Jger - December 16 - 1:11 am

  I have owned Impalas for 10 years now and love them. I prefer a larger car with some room to move over compacts and this car delivers that. The cars interior is much more refined then my 2005 was. I think the luxury package, is a great addition and I really appreciate the upgraded interior. The extra engine power in the latest model is nice and the car never lacks pickup when its needed. The car handles well in town and on the highway and delivers respectable mileage, especially considering the size of the car. I have had this car for 6 months and have not experienced any issues with quality or reliability from my experience with Impala I wouldnt expect to.

  Impala - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By T.C.Talbot - December 9 - 1:25 pm

  Mine is a Govt staff car. Base model. Flawless since day one. Actually seats 6 grown men. I consistently get 29- 31mpg! Bigger than Accord or Corolla for a Chevy price. Bigger interior, bigger trunk, and sacrificing 4-5mpg is worth it. Surprisingly good in snow too.

  24,000 Miles later - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Anthony - October 17 - 1:00 am

  I have had the car for 10 months now and have 24k on it. So far oil changes only and rotating the tires. This car is the most underated car out there! For all the torque steer issues all you have to do is turn off the traction control and the car tracks straight! The traction control applies the brakes on acceleration and pulls the car all over the place. Fuel mileage has been an avg of just shy of 20mpg and I just got under 25 on a recent highway run to Va. Sure you can knock a couple of things on the cheapness of certain things but turn the key and listen to the American muscle! It compensates for everything else! For the money it is still a great value and I get tons of compliments on its looks!
