2006 Chevrolet Impala LT review from North America
"This car is awesome! Best bang for your buck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine light went on: was some type of egr tube on the engine. Replaced at dealer no cost under warranty.
Back trunk lid developed a small rust spot. Dealer fixed no charge under warranty.
Ignition key barrel went bad causing the car to make chiming and dinging noises when exiting the car. Replaced by Dealer no charge under warranty.
General comments?
All of the problems with the car were all minor and fixed under the warranty.
The dealer was fantastic, I dropped the car off in the morning they drove me to work, picked me up at work, drove me back to the dealer and gave me a loaner car to drive. The next day I picked up my car with no hassles what so ever.
This car has plenty of power out of the 3.5 engine (211 hp).
With gas so expensive I turned in my Dodge caravan from lease and bought the Impala used.
This car gets great millage (approx 29mpg) and seats 6 passengers.
