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.

  Love this car - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Jacque - September 29 - 1:22 pm

  I fell in love with the looks of this vehicle and the chrome on the rearend is very beautiful which drew me to the car. I had not owned an Impala before but I am completely a Chevy girl. I come from a racing family and this car has not let me down. 0-60 in, well have not timed it, but I am happy. I can get the power when I need it and have not had any problems at all with the car. Would I buy it again, oh you bet I would! OnStar is wonderful and I am hooked on XM. Very happy with my purchase.

  Absolutely Unbeleiveable! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By rb2 - September 20 - 5:59 pm

  This was the 2nd vehicle I have picked out myself. I covered the Southeast since 76 and have extensively driven over 24 different cars of which 18 were brand new, Ive never had one from any car co that can even approach the level my expectations were surpassed by this one! Everything works! Had to replace the carrying ability of my prior Taurus SW, I learned from a rental just how cavernous this monster trunk is. It held all my parts, tool and test equipment with much room to spare. My first road trip over 100 miles rated 32.5 mpg and rising. Wife slept 250 mi in quiet comfort from KY.

  Vast Improvement - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By PearlandTX - August 27 - 5:16 pm

  I have chosen to drive Toyotas and Hondas for the last 20 years because American cars always seemed to be a combination of fancy doodads and low quality. I was prepared to be disappointed when my employer selected the Chevy Impala as our fleet car. Instead, this has been a reliable, solid, roomy, great handling car that gets more than 30 mpg on the highway.

  Good value - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By miker - May 10 - 2:36 am

  The 08 impala lt drives great. I stepped down owning a Mercedes-Benz C-class for 8 years. The Impala is very quiet, smooth shifting and I like the styling and space. Mileage is excellent and it uses regular gas. I am used to that other motorists look at you while driving a Mercedes-Benz, same thing happens with the new Impala. Love that car.

  Believe or not, the best - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By GM Lover - February 1 - 1:26 pm

  Ive heard from so many people that American made automobile is not good as Japaness made. That might be true. It may sound strange. My teenage daughter wanted to buy this Impala SS, not Japaness or other imports. She said "I love Chevy". Driven about 7000 miles so far, and there was no problem at all. Excellent performance(like my Trailblazer SS). Great gas mileage for V8 engine(over 21 mpg with mixed driving). Very comfy and smooth ride. This Impalas interior may lack refinement than some foreign cars. But can they bring a car with roaring V8 under $30,000?

  GM Impala -- Very satisfied. - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Joe M - August 18 - 4:40 pm

  The Impala is a very good value because it includes features of cars costing a lot more money. The features include: power heated leather seats, steering wheel mounted audio controls, XM Radio, On-Star directions, tire pressure monitor and Dual-Zone climate controls. It has a comfortable ride, handles well and gets excellent gas mileage for a car of its size and weight. The 3.5L motor has enough horsepower and runs on regular gas. It has a very well designed interior with comfortable seats and nicely designed controls. The braking performance is good. Prior to buying my Impala, I have rented both the 3.9L LTZ and 3.5L LT models. I choose the 3.5L engine because of fuel economy.

  2008 IMPALA SS - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By ROGER - August 6 - 1:16 pm

  This is my 4th Impala. This car is the best so far. It has less road noise, and better exterior looks. You get a lot of bang for the bucks. I just wish they would hold a little more resale value.

  Awesome - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Shorty - July 17 - 3:06 am

  I bought this car to replace an Olds Alero, what a difference! For the price I couldnt go wrong! The car fits me great! I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a new car and cant decide what they want.

  3rd Time Is Still The Charm - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By "Happy Impala Owner" - May 16 - 10:43 pm

  I ordered this Impala LTZ new in Feb.08. Traded in a 2004 Impala SS which I thought I was going to keep as a collector, but replaced 2 for 1 (also traded an 05 Malibu). I have no complaints on the looks or quality of this Impala. Rides well, looks sharp and has been a pleasure to own. Only concern I have is that the gas mileage will improve. Have been getting 25 - 29 mpg on regular Unleaded gas as it is multifuel and just doesnt do well on E-85 gas. Have 2,300 miles on it and have every available feature. Think I have a great car!

  Nice Car - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Many considered - May 2 - 7:33 pm

  Was looking for a car with decent fuel economy, cost, features, and size. Cross-shopped Camry, Accord, Sonata, and many others initially. Some have criticized OnStar but Im not sure why. Its free for a year and then you dont have to pay a penny if you dont like it. It offers great hands free calling, emergency features, diagnostics, and lock out service. Have used all but emergency many times. The ride is quiet and comfortable and I notice little wind noise. Many features from heated seats to dual-zone cc were standard. For the price I paid, I would have ended up with a 4 cylinder import comparably equipped. Domestic quality is way up lately and deserves a look.
