  • 2011 Impala LT - 2011 Chevrolet Impala

    This car is one big disappointment. I have had several Impalas and traded in a 2006 for a 2011. I wish now that I had kept the old car. This Chevrolet model steers worse than my first car, a 1951 Studebaker. The steering is tight creating a stiff turning in town and on highway. My wife has arthritis and has a very difficult time turning a corner. The car has many blind spots including small mirrors,& rear headrests. I opted for bench seats and find them only fair for comfort. In my 2006 Impala I averaged 30 mpg on the highway. On this 2011 i get only 23 mpg. It seems to lack an overdrive. Unfortunately, I was naive enough to think that the steering was only temporary. Its not.

    I HATE the center rear headrest...anyone know how I can get rid of it? Im afraid it will cause an accident because of the blocked vision. I agree with the others--cupholders in bad place, outside mirrors too small. I have the luxury package on the LT...the seats are hard and uncomfortable.

    Interior needs HELP! Center console lacks good design. No place for park money. Cup holders inadequate & not well placed. Rear seat center head-rest obstructs rear view (inside mirror ).The stamped metal parts of front seat are very sharp. (don try to slide anything under the seat.

    Youll be getting rotors every 6 months. Definitely not designed for a hilly state. This big cars has 190 horsepower. Thats a joke. Transmission went out at 45k but it was under warranty. Thats my selling point. Its in excellent condition with a new transmission. This car is for senior citizens.
