Is anyone aware of the reliability of the Chevy Impala?

Question

Thinking about gettingone, but wanted to make sure it is a good make/model alon gwiht the Malibu. Anyone have any feedback on that also?

Answer 1

I am now on my third fleet car. All have been Impalas (2003, 2005, & now 2007). The only constant issue with my 2005 was that the tires had to be rebalanced every 7-10,000 miles. My fleet maintenance plan called for oil changes every 5000 miles, rotating tires every 10,000 miles, and the standard transmission and fuel filter maintenance. I drive about 950 miles per week (90% highway miles). The cars run great! I personally would have rotated the tires a little sooner and probably switched to synthetic oil, but despite the maintenance plan, no issues.

Answer 2

I have a 02 Impala with 60k. The only thing I have had to replace is tires. Very dependable and 30 mpg. I would buy another one.

Answer 3

I prefer the Impala, although both cars are great...I have a 1970 GTO Judge convertible...You would like it too!

Answer 4

Impala, quite good. Unreliable cars do not usually see police duty.

The Malibu, very bad. The new one is supposed to be better, but only time will tell.
