Reviews
- "Although it plays in a tough league-rivals include the Camry and Accord-it offers a lot of space and features for the money. Only in refinement, agility, and resale value does it falter."—Car and Driver1
- "Chevrolet's top-selling car is affordable, relatively roomy, and has competent road manners. But this sedan still feels dated compared with class leaders."—ConsumerGuide2
- "With powerful and efficient V6 engines, a comfortable cabin and a smooth ride, the 2008 Chevrolet Impala brings a lot to the family sedan table even though its handling dynamics and cabin refinement are still a few steps behind the class leaders."—Edmunds.com3
