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.

  Get your rotors checked - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By Chevy fan? - May 1 - 2:00 am

  This car looks,drives and performs great. However, the trips for warrenty work are killing me. The brake rotors are just one item. The brake pedel was pulsating starting at 30K and all 4 rotors were replaced at 34K. there is a technical bullitin out that the rotors are covered under the bumper to bumper warrenty. Dont let them talk you into "turning" them. At 19K miles the air conditioning required repair. First new GM product Ive owned, see the additional items for warrenty, makes me want to go out and get another one. Lets see, steering shaft, broken motor mount, cracked gage glass, faulty trunk light switch.

  I LIKE MY IMPALA! Is that ok with all? - 2001 Chevrolet Impala
  By DonM - December 16 - 10:00 am

  Ive thoroughly enjoyed my 2001 Impala LS! Im on the big side 510", 260, and have (unfortunatly) outgrown my Grand Ams. No comparison! Great fit, plenty of zip for my needs, and I ENJOY driveing it. No mech problems, Fuel economy is as expected (slightly below sticker) but on long hauls at 70MPH+ I have often gotten 30+ MPG. Only nit is that compared to a 2 door, visibility is restricted and I had to get use to that. Wish the mirror was a tad smaller or higher. Looking forward to some future upgrades to this model.

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