2004 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Overall, I love it. It has enough power to make it fun, but it can also be used to carry a load of people around. Having a 3.8L V6 is more fun than i thought. Especially with the size and weight of the vehicle.

Nice features of this car are its leather seats, almost new tires,a bench 60/40 seat for 6 passengers and plenty of room in the trunk for 4-5 golf bags. Wide stance body and feeling of stability and safety.

This Car just floats down the road, soaking up bumps, while having smooth, subtle, and readily available acceleration. Only downside I have found so far is the cost of fuel, although it does get ~30mpg on the highway.

I have had two of these Impala models and they have both, sadly, gone through very nasty accidents. However, the seat belted passengers walked away without a scratch. Protected. The various features, electrical systems, smaller engine (3.4l) and all worked well in these two vehicles. The year 2000 model came with Uniroyal Tigerpaws and that and the suspension made that year 2000 model feel like it was glued to the road. Especially in rainy Seattle! Mileage was in the 20 city and 25+ if you are easy on the pedal. Yet, if you needed to get up and stomp on the gas, both of these cars would easily handle it. Also, in 77,000 miles, all I did on the year 2000 model was fill up the gas tank and change the oil every 5000 miles.

A clean American ride. Can't beat the price or the cost of parts for service. It's always easy to find spare parts in a salvage yard as well. Make sure-- if you buy one, you go all the way with features/aesthetics/options/alloy. Everything else should fall into place if you know where to look.

This is a great car. Leather interior, full electric, sunroof. Great sound system. Smooth ride. Great gas mileage. Lot's of interior room and a huge trunk.

I own two Chevy impalas B4. They are dependable and have great mpg range. I hardly had any problems with them. Just the normal wear and tear

Acceleration is great in this car. It has the V6 with FWD and you put your foot down on the "go" pedal and by god your moving. Gets pretty good gas mileage, 24 mpg average, compared to the cars of today. It has all the luxuries of a luxury car (heated seats, automatic transmission etc...) without the luxury price. We paid $6,000 for the car with now 68,000 miles on it from an elderly man who never drove it fast or even on the interstate. I have never had to add parts to the car, just change fluids, and so far it seems like a rock solid car. If you have the chance to buy one, I'd hop onto it!

everything is good it has performance, build quality apperanace is not the greatest at start but you can have add ons to make it what you like, you cant complain about th ecoast, it is super fun to drive once you get behind the wheel and drive one you will get hocked

Bought this car in 2007 (used with 30k), and I haven't had very many continuing maintenance issues with the car. I do my own brakes, change the oil, and most routine maintenance. The computer did blow up somehow (under the psgr seat from what I was told), so that was somewhat expensive to replace. The HVAC blower went out twice, too. Even so, she's an overall comfortable and reliable vehicle for commuting, errands and long trips. Does fairly well in snow, but ground clearance really doesn't help with the winter weather this year. The headlights got fogged up and they couldn't be buffed clear, but replacing them took 15 minutes. Still my favorite car so far.

I would rate this car a 5 star...she has never let me down and the maintenance has been normal things like oil changes and a tune up. I would highly recommend this car just in the market for a mini van at the moment.

I love this car! I have 217,000km on it and the only (minor) problem I have is that the bands in the transmission lag while putting it into 1st gear rarely. Everything else is perfect. I live where every vehicle rusts out (East Coast Canada)and she is holding up very well. I dislike the scarcity of performance parts although!

Ok, this car was a replacement for a decaying but dependable 1992 Buick Roadmaster. Right out of the gate this car performed and appeared well - that is until it was involved in an accident in December 2007. Despite this (and the six month down time it took to repair it) the car continued to outperform and present itself as simple and decent. The car does well on long-haul trips and is/has proven itself for normal day driving. Never has it left me on the side of the road - ever! The interior is simple and can fit up to six people (4 adults, 1 child and 1 infant - anything beyond that you're testing it's limits). The radio is incredible and although the casette is trying at times, it still can do the job. This car is up to my expectations as a car that can perform, look good, and not cost me a truckload to run. Perhaps my only gripe beside the tape player is the A/C controls - seems too much variable fan speed for a simple car as opposed to 5 speeds (incredibly low, low, normal, higher than that, full blast). The color meanwhile can be changed, but you get what you pay for. But be advised, LOW Clearance!

Its got good handling brakes real well accelerates very good also. as far as repairs none has been needed. its got some chiped paint from me hitting the deer but other then that its good it gets about 22 miles per gallon. its a pretty fun car to drive aswell

the 2004 chevrolet impala has wonderful acceleration, it is an automatic, silver with wood trim on the inside, i have an amazing stereo system and it is very safe for my family, it is a big safe car but small enough to be economical

Overall ok, just needed something more reliable. Minor interior items and after about 2 years the blower motor stopped working. The lights in the dash controls for the AC burned out, The black trim around the stereo controls in the steering wheel were worn off, Replace a MAF sensor $400.00 for that. Good paint and body. Great on the Highway for cruising. Got 29-31 on Hwy. 3.8L

Performance: Acceleration, braking, and handling is quite good for the most part. However, when this car hits gravel at a high speed, this car can make you lose control (as what happened in my recent accident). Build Quality: The quality of the vehicle is great. Normal wear and tear is expected without any unusual problems. However, this vehicle had some air conditioning issues, which I will talk about in the cost section. Also, when I bought this vehicle, I had speedometer issues right off of the lot at 82,000 miles. So, this vehicle is reliable for the most part, but expect some issues. Appearance: The Chevrolet Impala has some great appeal, though it is a base model. Interior is good for the most part, but lacks rear lamps and a console for the rear passengers. The exterior is quite fair, but seems to hold up well. Cost of Ownership: Mileage was okay when I first bought, and the price was good ($7,500 at 82,000 miles). Expect maintenance issues. Other than normal wear and tear, I have had issues with the speedometer right off the lot (clicking irregularly). I also had issues with the multi-function switch for the brights (that was a luxury to repair, and would cost over $700), and I had air conditioning issues after 175,000 miles on it. Any time that I go over a bump, the AC would shut down. Maintenance mechanics changed everything from the fan motors to the AC system itself, and it still would not do justice. I found out that it could have been the fuse box, but it was never changed out because that would have costed $250.00 to replace. So, maintenence-wise, this vehicle can be a nightmare to uphold, yet the gas mileage and fuel economy is quite well. Fun Factor: It was rather fun to drive this powerful V6 vehicle despite the maintenance nightmares.

I get anywhere from 25mpg to 27mpg with a 17gal tank. Although I cannot be 100% sure of this as it seems my fuel level sending unit is going bad. Otherwise, it isn't too bad of a vehicle to drive. I'm just hoping my MPG estimate is correct and I don't get screwed when I move out to be with my girl.

Performance - High torque, reliable motor, low maintainance Build Quality - Excellent build, solid vehicle, no wonder the police uses this Appearance: Stylish front, rather dated inside though Overall: Nice, reliant automobile with a lot of kick to it. Can't go wrong.

Its very good car. Quite reliable vehicle.

Has good space for moving my show stuff. It gets 28 mpg on average. It can move fairly quick, it does cruise and ride very well. i would recommend to a friend.

we really like the car. rides well. looks good. mileage not bad

SLOW!!! Sturdy interior plastics... Upholstery very cheap.. Gas mileage terrible. Suspension way too soft. Mechanically, a lot has been wrong.. Shifts hard...Very plain interior..No features..No CD PLAYER!! Slow acceleration but decent pickup on highways.. NEver buy an impala!! Save yourself aggravation.. O and terrible resale value. Loud acceleration.

No probs other then i dont like the goodyear RSA's. Good pick up, lots of performance add ons.

I gat this car when my grandmother died, I loved it when she first bought it. I was so glad when my parents decided to give it me as my first car. All around best car out there. Its only a 3.4 liter but it beats most of my friends cars, haha.

Have taken 4 road trips over 5000 miles each and car operated and handled well with low interior noise and smooth ride. Really like the car, hope it holds up for a while.

the performance is not bad pretty quick, no so bad acceleration amazing breaking its black apperance it has had minor repairs and haves great gass millage and is cheap on maintenace this car is fun to drive l o l
