2003 Chevrolet Impala Base review from North America
"This car is awesome, I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, just had to replace tires because they got old.
Had to replace the rotors and brake pads, which seem to be a problem on these cars.
General comments?
I love the 3.4L V6 engine. It has great pickup and is quiet.
I also like the plain interior, very easy to reach the radio and air conditioning controls.
I like the automatic headlights; I don't have to worry about turning them on and off.
The car turns extremely well.
I wish the seats had a little more support, but more comfortable than most new car seats these days.
The trunk is huge, although I don't use it much.
The exterior design on the car is what I like most about it.
I love the 4 (circles) lights in the back. I also like that the Impala logo on the trunk, instead of the Chevy bow-tie, which is on the newer impala's. This separates the car from the other Chevy's.
I wish I had a lock on the passengers side in front; it gets annoying sometimes when you don't have your automatic opener.
Gas mileage for this car is around 22mpg, which is better than some smaller v6 engines.
