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.

  08 LT 3.5L - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By ImpalaOwner - October 27 - 7:36 pm

  Had the car a couple of weeks and put 600 miles on it. Its a very comfortable car, even the 3.5 has more than adequate power, Ive never felt like I had to have more. Ive only used regular gas so far and gotten 28 MPG. Controls are all logical. I got the leather package and seats are comfortable but could use more side support. Great room up front, but lacking a bit in rear leg room for as big as the car is. My only beef is the paint finish - the hood has 2 big "blotches" - dealer noted it and offered to repaint under warranty, but something as bad as that should have never made it out of the factory.

  Good car for the money - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By cdestep - July 6 - 6:00 am

  I bought this car in April 2008. I traded in a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT that was fully loaded with every option under the sun for a plain jane full sized car to accomidate our family of five. The impala is quite comfortable and has a huge trunk. Exterior styling is fairly attractive and the interior is straight forward and easy to operate. I received good factory incentives which is why I purchased the car in the first place. Most of my driving is short in town driving so gas mileage is about 19-24 MPG. The automatic lights and stereo volume are nice features. There are several features I really miss about my old car, but all in all not a bad car for 18K.

  Here goes another one! - 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  By Kathy B - April 2 - 7:00 am

  This is my 3rd Impala and I really love what they have done with this one. The exterior is much sleeker and interior is more luxurious than before. The ride is about the same but the handling is a little better than my 03 was. Im liking the OnStar so far and the XM is great...standard now on all models. Honda, Nissan, or Toyota do not offer any such thing for around $22,000 which is what I paid for my LS. It has enough goodies for me to enjoy and has turned a few heads some saying they cant believe it is a Chevy. I used to buy only foreign cars but that was when Gm had some catching up to do. Thanks GM for getting this one right!

  So far no problems, car runs great. Getting about 25 MPG average which is a lot better than the truck I traded in.
