2001 Chevrolet Impala LS review from North America
"Awful, bland car - maybe the Intrepid is a better buy"
General comments?
Wanted to see if any new sedans are decent to drive. Like the rest I drove, this was no exception -- NO!
Very un-nimble, poor handling. Even though the LS has the "sport suspension"! Acceleration equally bad, with the weak 3.8 hindered further by the awful-shifting automatic, which doesn't downshift unless you hold the pedal all the way to the floor for 5 full seconds.
Average comfort (better than Buick Century, though) and average everything else.
How could police departments possibly use a crappy car like this?!
