1996 Chevrolet Impala SS review from North America
"This is my FAMILY VETTE"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I traded this car for a 1999 V6 Camaro straight up, but this car had a serious coolant leak, oil leak, suspension vibrated, and the service engine light was on, but it ran strong. I got the better side of the trade even with all those "problems".
I took the car to the dealer and got it all fixed for less than $1000. The car still needs a couple more things done, but it's an Impala SS so it's definitely worth it. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
General comments?
The interior is very spacious. The seats are very comfortable with lots of cushion everywhere. For a big car, it sure does handle very well. Very strong looking car, I really feel good driving this big car.
