  Car for the whole family - 2005 Chevrolet Impala
  By zonadogg - February 23 - 9:16 pm

  After driving other GM SUV models, making the shift to a car was a bit strange. The Impala SS changed that; great truck room, roomy interior, and oh by the way, it has a few ponies under the hood for daddy. Only bad thing; one color doesnt always fits all. Just take this baby on the open highway and let your foot get a little heavy. This car brings back the fun in driving without making you broke!

  I really LIKE that car! - 2005 Chevrolet Impala
  By Giovanni - March 20 - 7:03 pm

  Brand new, jet black, base model, cloth seats, looks and drive great. Very good value, with a couple of options, its a commuter workhorse, but also turns some heads- real nice lines, 16 inch wheels give a lot of road feel, good ground clearances, low road noise, vision is good (fourth roof pillar hangs out there a bit). Huge trunk makes a good crumple zone in event of rear ender. 4 doors are manageable- in contrast with Monte Carlo vault doors. Great fuel economy with small six, lots of power, even with passengers, Engine breathes real well under moderate acceleration. Dash mounted key switch is handy, column shifter perfectly placed. OnStar, CD, 4 wheel disc brakes, MAN oh MAN I love this car!

  Good Value - 2005 Chevrolet Impala
  By berne1 - May 4 - 11:20 pm

  The Impala is a good value for the money. I got the SS model because of the supercharged engine and sportier exterior features. With the wheels and SS spoiler, the car really is an improvement over the base and LS models in the looks department. There is a lot of interior room for the size of the car. Fit and finish are great, this car is put together very nicely. I like the additional gauges you get with the SS vs. the other models (boost, etc.).
