What to check on the Impala

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Specs, explained

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

What to expect from the Impala

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.

A good match for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Rent it for a week first

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the Impala on your commute, then decide.

Running costs

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
