Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

When the drivers seat is all the way back there is little rear seat legroom for tall folks. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

The 3900 V6 is very responsive and climbs hills effertlessly. The engine idles very smooth and is easy to live with on a daily basis. The old 4 speed automatic always shifts on time and is smooth. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

Nice smooth power-band with lots of low range torque, VVT really helps. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

The transmission does not engage immediately after cornering or during hard acceleration. When it does you can hear and feel a loud clunking noise coming from the powertrain. Often times this also causes the tires to "chirp". see full Chevrolet Impala review |

Very quick tranny slipps. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
