2003 Chevrolet Impala LS review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermediate steering shaft repaired.
General comments?
We bought this car from a used car dealer with 45,000 miles for less than $12,000. This car is a great improvement from our 2004 Honda CRV EX. It has leather interior, a tire pressure monitoring system, and Onstar. The 3800 Series engines have long been known to be one of Chevy's best. The tranny shifts smooth, and feels solid. In fact, the whole car feels solid. It has more interior room, and the trunk can carry more stuff, albeit not big, boxy stuff. It is silver with all options except XM Radio and moonroof. It looks great for a sedan, and runs and drives equally as well. We asked the dealer to correct the intermediate steering shaft issues (Bump in wheel when turning), but that's not a big deal to us. We look forward too many miles with the Impala, and suggest families check out the LS Models.
