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.

  American Touring car - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Captain Safety - November 18 - 9:33 am

  Purchased this car for business use, and will drive 45,000 miles in 2008. Excellent seat and ride comfort for extended highway use. Great value for less than $25,000. Leather, heated, power seats; strong V-6; remote start; tire pressure monitoring at all four corners; XM radio; five-star crash rating. Better seats and ride than my previous Honda Odyssey. Likely 27-29 mpg as along-term average.

  Love This Car! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By xt109 - March 30 - 1:26 am

  I am so glad we to Chevy to try out an Impala. Wed been test-driving Toyota Camrys and Nissan Altimas. But we finally went to Chevy, and we really liked the Impala. So we bought the Chevy Impala, and for less than a base Camry! Now I realize how flimsy the Camry and Altima were. The quality of the Chevy Impala is far superior. And with the 3.5L V6 weve attained 26 MPG in the city and 33 on the highway, far better than the window sticker said. Im glad I didnt fall for the Japanese foriegn car hype. If you dont believe it, go test drive an Impala and compare. There are plenty of old Chevys and Fords driving around, and they are easier and cheaper to fix. Most cars last with care.

  This car is a blast to drive, gas mileage is acceptable, and if you dont have Flowmasters on it, youre missing out. Great rumble, great performance, great looks. I love this car!

  Review - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By don - March 2 - 2:03 am

  So far so good. Lots of features. Great driving experience. Safe and reliable. very stylish. great appeal with design. good performance. Nice brakes. Attractive wheels and excellent traction with Goodyear tires. Handles well in mountain driving as well as freeway. Probably the best car Ive owned in 30 years. The SS Chevy is a great value and every one likes the car who see it when Im parking the vehicle. Lots of extras for an American revolution! Go check the car out for yourself. The vehicle sells itself! Thanks General Motors I like the car!

  2008 Chevy Impala - Awesome - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Ron Bonofiglio - October 22 - 9:33 pm

  I have about 300 miles on my 2008 Chevy Impala 1LT. It has the 3.5 L Flex-fuel engine. I especially like the fuel economy, OnStar, XM satellite radio, ride quality, safety ratings, stylish appearance, huge trunk, seating for six, fun to drive, ride quality and zero defects. GM also gave me 0% APR for 72 months. What a deal on an awesome American car even though it is assembled in Canada.

  Better than stated mpg - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By noyego - October 16 - 9:40 pm

  Like many of us, wanted a car with better gas mileage, but didnt want a subcompact. Bought car as a program car, saved a ton of money. Good interior. Ride a little bumpy, but might be because was used to driving a towncar. Excellent gas mileage for the size of the car.. I am getting 25 city and a little over 34 mpg on the highway. Good leg room. Has an excellent information center, tells you when to change oil, tire pressures, instant miles per gallon, avg mpg, outside temp, compass, and a lot more usefull info. All controls on steering wheel, radio, air, cruise, etc.

  50th Anniversary - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Sandman - August 16 - 7:33 pm

  I got rid of my expensive to repair VW GTI and bought the 50th anniversary model for 08. I love this car as it is a real hwy crusier unlike the GTI. I realy like the idea of OnStar for emergencies and road service. XM radio I dont think I will continue at the price they want. I thought there were not going to be any commericals, but there are many. Mileage so far has been only 23 mpg, but it still needs to be broken in more. I would really like a conv. Impala or at least a red interior like I had in my first 1959 Impala hardtop.

  Solid Vehicle for the Money - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By dlewis - May 5 - 9:50 pm

  I previously drove a 2001 Monte Carlo SS after owning two T-birds (hated the 2-seater style change). Went with the 2008 Impala as there arent many full- size 2-door coupes on the market these days. The 50th Anniversary Edition is basically an LT model with more sporty features, the car looks a lot like the SS (including same 18" wheels/rims). The car rides smoothly, gas mileage is pretty much what the sticker says (it all depends on how you drive it). I like the two-tone interior. Front seats could provide more "lateral" support. Like the heated leather seats and garage door opener. Would have liked 6-disc CD changer and premium sound system, standard sound system just ok.

  Very nice - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Scortch - April 19 - 12:26 am

  After the HHR, this thing is like 100 times better. It rides smooth as silk. The shifting is really smooth. It has a really nice pickup and just plain comfortable to drive around in. One of the best cars I have had.
