There are a few things like about the car. It's a great size for my family. Has some great features like key-less open and close. Remote starter is a great tool especially in winter months. The cruise control comes in handy on highway. I think it is good on gas. The only complaint I can have is that if remote started it shuts off within fifteen minutes and with cold winters that can be bad. Otherwise love the car.

The Impala had a strong engine and a lot of power, which made the 30+ miles per gallon of gasoline all the more impressive. It was definitely a good car to have for long trips as it could hold speed and had a smooth ride. Never had any issues with the general maintenance stuff that come with many other vehicles (brakes, rotors, leaky oil, etc.) as long as I kept up on things, but I did have major, major issues with the cooling system which is why I wouldn’t recommend this car to anybody else. I had the water pump replaced once, replaced the thermostat three times, and I eventually had to start carrying bottles of coolant with me everywhere I went and revving the engine at stop lights just to keep the temperature down and the coolant circulating. This went on for close to 6 months until I finally traded it in after the head gasket went. I found out after the fact that Chevy uses some different kind of coolant that turns acidic if not changed on a very regular basis and eats away at the gaskets, which is why I won’t buy one again.
