Nothing has gone wrong.
This car has awesome power and handling. The engine roars like a lion (or maybe a Corvette) The leather seats are very comfortable and the car has a nice look and feel to it.
The car cost $27,000, has a quiet ride, corners well, and is a pleasure to drive . I would think the Japanese automakers would charge $45,000 for this car.
The front wheel drive with 303 hp makes the car
feel different than anything I've ever driven.
The fuel economy is very good for a 300hp v-8. I stay mostly in town with an average around 19.5 mpg. When I drive on the highway I average 25 mpg. I suppose the economy will improve once the car is broken in. I marked it as a 7 because of the need for premium fuel.
The only peculiar item is sometimes the transmission shifts are more noticeable from 1st to 2nd gear depending on how hard the accelerator is pressed.
The Onstar Turn by Turn navigation is great. It is very simple to use and negates the need of a $2,000 DVD based system.
The Impala SS is an awesome car, I'm glad to hear you can get good gas mileage in it!
Please come back after you have more miles on it and tell us how the reliability, etc. has been.
I'm JEALOUS!! Your highway mileage is almost as good as my 4-cylinder compact!! I'm in love with the styling of the new Impala, and since my brother's 2003 has performed flawlessly I'm sure the newer ones are even more reliable. Few cars made offer the blend of affordable performance, comfort and solid reliability of the Impala SS at such a good price. I'll be looking at the SS when I'm ready to trade. Thanks for the review. Let us know how things go in the future, and congratulations on a great American classic.
