2004 Chevrolet Impala Base review from North America
"At least all the bad parts are easy to find"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, fuel pressure regulator, brakes, turn signal/hazard relay switch, heater/AC blower fan, climate control lights, and it is starting to leak antifreeze. All of this in less than 40,000 miles of ownership. I have owned about 10 GMs and this is the worst car I have ever had.
General comments?
Lots of room, looks good, great gas mileage and is very comfortable. The only problem is that it continually falls apart.
At the same time I bought this, I also bought a 98 Subaru off of EBAY and had to sign a junk waiver on it, and have had no problems at all from it.
