2006 Chevy Impala Review: A Bad Overpriced Car That Won’t Last Long

Alex Showalter

Feb 11, 2022

A short life expectancy of only 150,000 miles caused by engine and transmission problems make 2006 a bad year. At $4,629 to $7,338, the Impala isn’t worth the money.

The Good

There’s a powerful engine available, a lot of passenger room, and good safety scores.

The Bad

Long term reliability is bad, suspension is boat-like, and long-term ownership costs are high.

2006 Chevrolet Impala: Quick Overview

The 2006 Chevy Impala’s reliability is poor with transmission and engine problems. Avoid the 2006-2009 Impalas, since improvements only show up for the 2010 model.
Three engine choices are available. Two are V6s with decent power for the class, and there’s an SS model with a powerful V8.
Good fuel economy for a full size car at 22 MPG.
Safety scores are great, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
Consumer Reports finds the 2006 Impala to be lagging behind some competitors, with below-average owner satisfaction ratings.
We don’t recommend the 2006 Impala, which ranks 8^th out of 11 full size cars based on owner reviews. Too many mechanical problems and a short lifespan make it a car to avoid.

Maryann R

Comfortable & long road trips

I absolutely love my Impala. It has a strong engine with 199,000 miles on it. It has a smooth ride, comfortable roomy interior and a spacious trunk.

Diane C

The trunk to my Chevrolet impala is spacious, I can do some serious shopping.

My Chevrolet impala still drives nice. My 2006 Chevrolet impala is an older car but I still love how it drives it actually drives just as smooth as my 2016 Honda Civic, although my Chevy impala is older it still has a great feel when I drive it. The parts for my Chevy are reasonable and I got lucky and found a mechanic who does a great job and gets a great deal on all the parts to my Chevy.

Kim S

This car is super reliable!

It is the most reliable car I have ever had! It takes whatever I throw at it! It is fuel efficient and powerful. I have had it for yours and it is never needed a large repair. Also, it is very safe. It seems to be a good choice. The styling is very nice. I really like the way it looks!

Wanda W

My Chevy Impala, how it is my only dependable source of transportation.

My vehicle is really depends, and gets me to where I need to be all the time. The engine runs great, and as long as you service the engine regularly then you shouldn't have any problems with it. I keep my car clean and smelling like a new car, and keep up the maintenance on it so it continues to get me to where I need to go.

Lance Steffel

Very reliable

Had a 2001 with 160000 miles. Was rusting great engine though. Because it was so reliable we replaced it with a 2006 Impala, Look forward to many years with this one,

Holly R

Make sure to get winter tires added onto the vehicle.

I love the room in my vehicle, in the front and back seats. I love the gas display behind the steering wheel. I love the menu display behind the steering wheel.

MaryAnne B

Built to last, very dependable.

I love the smooth ride. It is very dependable. I have a lot of miles & it still runs great.

Dallas K

Amazing, Spacious, and Reliable.

The Chevy impala is extremely spacious. We have a 6'5 male in our family and a son that is not too far behind. They both can fit comfortably. The car itself is very reliable. We have driven it across country without problems. It is a 2006 and we've only had to buy new tires, a new battery and about $100 in replacement parts. My fiance replaced everything himself. Thru internet video sites, you can easily find how to do it and with the Chevy impala it is extremely easy. I would 10/10 recommend this car to anyone.

Negative Owner Reviews

Lex S

They should know that they should never buy an Impala ever.

I hate automatics. I hate the way it drives. I hate sedans. I hate all the engine problems.

Rebekah M

Has a sunroof silver and ugly.

I bought it for 2500 and that was the worst mistake. Everything is wrong with it. I put so much money in it and it still doesn't run. Someone told me when I first got it that I pretty much bought a paper weight I should have listened because not even a week later it blew up on me.

scott l

Be prepared to spend a lot of money on repairs. You will need a second job

It's a money pit. Repair every month 1000 or more. Alway having to fix and missing other bills

Jami Krueger

Noises

As I was driving down the road, something sounded like someone threw gas at the side of my vehicle. Yet, no one can even explain what it was

Darrell T

As I have said before my car has almost 200, 000 miles on it.

It has a major oil leak. But it is also very good on gas, I can fill up and it will last me a while. My car has almost 200, 000 miles on it so I guess with that being said it's in pretty good condition.

Travis P

A reliable car with some years on it

It is an older car so it has had some issues over the years. Yet it has been a fairly reliable car. I've had to have some brake work and exhaust system work done. It's a fairly comfortable car that gets me to and from work. The gas mileage is decent.

Derek S

It is white and I usually keep it clean by soaping it up and washing it off right.

My car is a little bit old for my particular choice of lifestyle. I wish I was a little bit newer but I cannot afford it because I am currently in college for a nursing degree that is killing me.

Cheryl J

Beware of the Impala ss. Looks pretty with wood grain and leather.

We have had transmission problems. Can not use ac right now because need to replace belt. Driver side seat belt broke had to click into passenger side. The driver sun visor has broke so it does not stay up. Falls down while driving. The computer is always saying service tire monitor, we just got new tires. Have tried to reset never works.

What Problems Does the 2006 Chevrolet Impala Have?

There are more complaints on the 2006 Chevrolet Impala than other full size cars including the Chrysler 300 and Nissan Maxima. The 2006 model year has improvements, with about half as many problems as the 2005 version.

Transmission problems, including slipping out of gear, are common issues around 70,000 miles. In some cases replacing the fluid is enough to solve the problem, but in others a transmission rebuild may be necessary. A rebuild costs about $1,500, and a full replacement is around $3,000.

Engine problems leading to excessive oil consumption are another complaint at 75,000 miles. There are several sources including rings, gaskets, and pistons. The cheapest solution is to check your oil regularly and top it off as needed since some repairs can cost over $1,000.

Defective sun visors are another complaint from owners on cars around 50,000 miles. The visors wind up coming loose and will not stay in place as the car ages. Replacing them is the only solution, costing $350.

With only 3 recalls, the Impala has less than other old full size cars but is still not good. The recalls include passenger seat adjustments, steering knuckles, and the ignition switch. Most serious are the steering knuckles since failures can cause an accident.

How Much is the 2006 Chevrolet Impala Worth?

Blue book values are around $4,629 to $7,338, and higher than competitors including the Crown Victoria, and Lucerne. When new, the price range was $20,990 to $26,990. Depreciation is average for a large sedan, losing about 15% of its current value each year.

How Long Will the 2006 Chevrolet Impala Last?

When properly maintained, a 2006 Chevrolet Impala will last about 150,000 miles, which is shorter than the Avalon and Crown Victoria. Regular annual maintenance costs are more expensive than some rivals as well. Repair Pal estimates the costs to be about $390 per year.

As the 2006 Impala ages and reaches over 100,000 miles, there are a few things owners should be prepared to replace. They include battery cables for $250, windshield wiper motors costing $350, and the most expensive item is a head gasket replacement which costs about $1,750.

Derek A

It has power steering pump trouble and leak at the moment. It also has a small oil leak. Otherwise it's a good car.

Vita J

This car is definitely reliable. We'r e up to 265,000 miles on it and with keeping up on all the maintenance there are not many issues.

Steven C

None that are serious.. I do the basic maintenance to it as needed. I had my abs light come on once, I had to replace a sensor which wasn't costly.

Kristie F

It is very reliable. Only thing is there is a recall on the ignition switch I have not have not yet fixed.

Shirley S

I find that it has been very reliable, I have not had any serious problems with it, minor repairs have been done but nothing extremely expensive or time consuming and routine maintenance, I have never been left stranded.

Zach R

Yes it is extremely reliable. We did have to fix the transmission, but we haven't had any more major issues since then.

patrick A

I had some power steering problems and brakes yearly but besides that yrs reliable. I will find out more at end of next month.

John M

The only problem I have had is the transmission isn't the best for the car and the motor it is too weak.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology is very basic in the 2006 Chevrolet Impala compared to other large cars from the same year, and is very outdated by modern standards.

The base technology includes an AM/FM/CD stereo system with a 3.5mm auxiliary jack and 6 speakers.
Optional upgrades include a premium Bose stereo system with satellite radio and 8 speakers.
Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes and airbags. Traction control is found on the LTZ and SS models.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance in the 2006 Impala is better than many other large sedans including the Maxima and Taurus. The upgraded V8 engine is a great choice, taking the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds.

The base 3.5L V6 engine has an average amount of power for the year with 211 horsepower.
An upgrade found in the LT and LTZ models is a 3.9L V6 with a healthy 290 horsepower.
The most powerful engine is the 5.3L V8 found in the SS model, which has 303 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Impala?

The 2006 Chevy Impala is a large sedan, similar in size to vehicles including the Chrysler 300 and Ford Crown Victoria. A unique feature found on the Impala is a front bench seat, with room for up to 6 people.

Passenger space is good throughout the cabin with plenty of legroom for adults in the back seats. Cargo space is better than many rivals, at 18.6 cubic feet of room fitting up to 5 suitcases.

How Does the 2006 Chevrolet Impala Compare to Other Cars?

Ranking 8^th out of 11 full size cars, based on owner reviews, the 2006 Chevy Impala is in the lower half of the class.

The highest-rated full size car of 2006 is the more expensive Toyota Avalon. Where the Avalon stands out is with class-leading reliability, but the Impala has more power with the optional V8. If you’re in the market for a used sedan, the Avalon is a better, longer-lasting choice.

Another close rival is the Chrysler 300, which is also slightly more expensive. The Chrysler has a more luxurious interior. Where the Impala stands out is with a more comfortable ride. The 300 is a better choice, but both cars have long-term reliability issues.

Final Verdict: Is the 2006 Chevrolet Impala a Good Car?

No, the 2006 Chevrolet Impala is not a good car. We reached our conclusion after considering 326 verified owner reviews giving the car a score of 4.1/5 with mechanical problems.

A shorter than average lifespan also puts most 2006 Impalas at the end of their lives after 16 years. Engine and transmission problems are major downsides. Positives include good comfort features, and a good V8 engine on the SS model.

Overall, the 2006 Impala isn’t a good car. If you want an Impala, the 2010 models have fewer complaints, but still lag behind the competition.

Derek A

Yes. The car has good power and is sturdy built. It rarely has mechanical trouble but the one thing I'd like is better gas mileage.

Vita J

Yes, this is definitely a good car. We'r e at 265,000 miles on it and have had minimal issues with it. If you take care of your car, it will last a while!

Steven C

Yes, it is durable and has plenty of room along with excellent gas mileage. It also has a surprising amount of horsepower.

Kristie F

Yes, it has been very dependable. Never had any major problems. I am considering exchanging for a newer model.

Shirley S

Yes, I have had no major issues with it, minor repairs have been done and routine maintenance, it drives very nice and it handles very well in the snow, by far this has been my favorite vehicle.

Zach R

Yes the car is extremely reliable and we've barely only had to fix one major thing. It is has 140,000 miles.

patrick A

Yes it rides nice and seems reliable.I bought it used so it cost me a little to get in order but working fine now. Gets inspected next month again.

John M

Yes it is a very dependable vehicle perfect for small family can fit the whole family and it is a 4 door.

Love my SS !

Not worth it if you can’t support it that simple other then that definitely worth it !!!

Joe S on April 7, 2021

Very reliable

Bought in 2015 with 160k on the odometer; currently almost 220,000 miles and still runs terrific. I have replaced a starter, a couple sensors, wheel bearings and water pump. Also replaced thermostat during water pump replacement. The most challenging repair I did was a power steering line that was rubbed enough to create a leak, but was still able to get it accomplished myself in the driveway. I don't consider these things to be a real testament against reliability because of the high mileage. Keeping up with basic maintenance is important as always but keep in mind these things can and will happen with any make/model as it ages. For comfort for the year it's decent. Heated seats still work well and other than needing a recharge, AC is still cold. It has plenty of power and acceleration and still capable as a vehicle for a smaller family.

Hayden R on March 26, 2021

The most important thing to know is that if you're buying used, make sure it's under 90k miles or you'll run into trouble. Always check for rust.

Really great feel when driving--all-round smooth and accessible with a good stereo and average gas mileage.

Josh D on March 14, 2021

The fuel mileage is terrible.

It costs too much in gas to drive. It is way too loud. And it is way too heavy for everyday driving and track use.

Natasha S on March 14, 2021

I've always wanted an impala. I've always said Chevrolet were good cars. Roomy.

I am currently having problems with my left driver front tire or rod.. When I turn left the tire locks up and the car hesitates.. I feel like it's unsafe. I can turn right but my left turn needs to be looked at. It just recently started doing that. Thought it was the brakes, got the brakes changed and it still not the problem.

Caroline J on March 14, 2021

Chevy Impala 12 yrs. Old gets good gas mileage.

I have a 2006 Chevy Impala ls. I have had for 6 months. I have had to replace the alternator and battery when I flew home for the summer. So other than that it is great. It is spacious and gets good gas mileage. For as old as it is I think it is ok. I paid about 1600 for it.

nick K on March 10, 2021

It runs fine nothing else matters.

No real complaints It's just a decent car.

Nicole L on March 6, 2021

It is a good working car that needs a little fixing up to it.

I got it during tax season from a used cars market. It is okay; though a fixer-upper. It needs new tires, it was previously in an accident before I got it and there are a few engine problems. Probably around $500 to fully fix, in total. Aside from that the car is swell and it gets the job done.

Allison V on March 4, 2021

It's a nice car. It runs good for the most part. Sometimes it needs work but it's a good vehicle for now.

It's got a nice look to it and that it at the very least runs.

Jesse B on March 4, 2021

It is cheap on gas when compared to many other cars on the road.

I like that my vehicle has been dependable and is relatively cheap on gas. I also like that it has plenty of space without being too big. I do not like that it sometimes tries to stick in park.

Karen G on February 24, 2021

Easy to drive. Steering is great comfort interior and good gas mileage.

No problems but brake lights comes on for no reason. Mostly it is low maintenance. V6 engine but drive the speed limit and you can run off of twenty five dollars a week.

Patricia K on February 23, 2021

Chevys have been around a long time and they have dependable rides.

My Chevy impala is an awesome car It's great on gas. I have never had any major problems with my impala I have a ice cold a/c. . Drives like a dream and It's a very pretty car. I feel very safe if I were to have a wreck I believe that I would not get hurt as bad as I could in another car.

Heather W on February 21, 2021

2006 Impala ses--fast and furious.

This is an Impala ses, which has the v8, 5. 3 Liter engine. It is super fun, moves well, and has a feature that will drop it down from 8 cylinders to 4 when you are on the freeway and have set the cruise, so you get better gas mileage. Leather seats and a moonroof are added bonuses.

Heather W on February 21, 2021

It is fun, it'll really move because of the engine.

I like that is comfortable and fun to drive--it has a big engine with lots of power. I do not like that it has to have premium gas or that its parts tend to be more expensive to replace.

Cecil L on February 19, 2021

Nothing fancy about it. Just a great car.

Dependable car! Cheap operating. Best car that I have ever driven and owned. Wouldn't have anything else.

Salyna S on February 17, 2021

The uncomfortably of the driver seat is different from other cars

The sitting is weird and uncomfortable to drive because of the way the seat is.

Jasmine F on February 16, 2021

It is rough right now. Lived in it three months.

Lived in it. Interior is kind of rough. Middle console is broken. Radio lights don't work a all. . No AUX cord. Rear view mirror is broken off. Spoiler was stolen off of it.

Judith D on February 14, 2021

Comfortable transportation

My car is great but it is getting old and has a lot of miles on it

Lisa B on February 10, 2021

Very dependable ride for years.

The vehicle runs fantastic however there have been little things have gone wrong over the last three years. The rear window defroster does not work there have been various electronic features that do not work radio warning lites, lock in the glove box.

Codee W on February 10, 2021

Reliable, attractive, enjoyable car

The Chevy Impala is a great car, and you see a lot of them driving around, so the proof is in the pudding. Great performance, attractive interior and exterior. My only criticism is that the front seats aren't really built to accommodate a short person comfortably; my head doesn't rest against the headrest. Otherwise, great car all around!

Erica B on February 10, 2021

Need a nice care that me and my kids will love.

I needed car so bad that I got anything I need new hood, shocks, a deep clean, and a fender. But I am looking for a SUV that have 3rd row seating with TVs and a nice radio and it must be 4 wheel drive I do not care about the year at long as it get me to point A to B.

Lorraine K on February 10, 2021

Good mileage. Comfortable.

This sedan has been very reliable but when first purchased something was wrong with the battery. The car dealer took it in to check and again it had a problem. I finally took to a mechanic to check the battery and it had some bad cells so was replaced. Apparently the battery put in by Chevrolet was not good. I am very comfortable driving my car but would like some of the newer features offered in the newer vehicles as brake assist and visual for backing up. . Since my car is getting to old been looking at possibility to purchased. Being smaller engine has very good mileage.

Dallas K on February 6, 2021

Amazing, Spacious, and Reliable.

r T on February 6, 2021

Nice to drive and nice to look at

Looks nice, rides nice; responsive, and reasonably economical.

Peggy M on February 1, 2021

Chevys are great!! I have had no problems with mine and I love my Impala!!

I have not had any problems with my vehicle. It gets good gas mileage. It is very comfortable and roomy.

Robin B on February 1, 2021

My impala is very reliable, good gas mileage, and runs great!

Runs great. Very reliable. Only have had a few problems with in the past 7 years. The one thing I hate is the paint in that year for white vehicles was defective so the paint on my car has chipped off and rusted.

Joseph B on January 30, 2021

It comes fully loaded with leather seats, 7 speaker Bose system with satellite radio and sunroof. Also the car shuts down 4 cylinders automatically to save gas when driving casually.

I don't like the gas mileage and that it only prefers premium fuel. It has a strong V8 engine with throaty exhaust note. I don't like the weak suspension.

Rachel A on January 25, 2021

My wonderful Chevy Impala!!

This vehicle is 100% reliable. There are a few small plastic pieces that I have had to replace since I got the car, all the major parts run well and I have had zero problems. It has and ample amount of space. It is comfortable for long drives and has excellent gas mileage. I get paid bi-weekly and a full tank last between paychecks.

Maryann R on January 21, 2021

Comfortable & long road trips

I absolutely love my Impala. It has a strong engine with 199,000 miles on it. It has a smooth ride, comfortable roomy interior and a spacious trunk.

John L on January 21, 2021

It is a great gas saver and very reliable.

It is a really good car to get you from point A to B. It is a v6 but is still good on gas. The steering is great and is very spacious. The speakers are quite nice. The body is a nice silhouette. It looks good in any color. A very good first car for a teenager.

Ryan B on January 19, 2021

That it's safe to drive. It has a lot of room inside.

I like that it has a lot of room. I don't like the color of the outside.

Alyssa O on January 18, 2021

I love this car!! It is absolutely amazing and would totally buy it again.

My 2006 Chevy impala, is amazing. It gets great gas mileage, and has a very smooth ride. It is only a two wheel drive so it handles decently in snow and ice. There is a large trunk space. Seats four comfortably and five cramped. I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet. I am the second owner and it is in amazing shape. All electric windows, locks, and drivers seat. Ample leg room in both the front and back seats. The break is a little touchy and the gas is a comfortable press. You can hook up XM radio and it comes with an aux input. It comes with AM, FM, and a CD player. I would recommend getting a block heater if you live somewhere cold, also getting auto start has saved my life. It only comes with the standard two sets of keys, but I invested in a third.

Sharon H on January 18, 2021

A Good Buy for a Used Vehicle

This car is something we bought used. It has been extremely dependable through all kinds of weather. The interior heats quickly during the cold weather and both the air conditioning and sunroof make the car comfortable in the heat. It's also good on gas mileage, and has been a good money saver for us.

Sue Thomas on January 14, 2021

Steering

I have mine for 2years now, I have a lot of problems with the steering, it gets very stiff, I have had it fixed twice now and I still have some problems. I called Chevy city to see if they had recalls, but they say no, other then that I love my Impala.

Brandi B on January 12, 2021

Impala SS, 5.3L with great gas mileage

I bought my car used and it has impressed me. The 06 SS has a 5.3L smart fire engine. Drops to 4cyl on the highway, increasing mpg by 10

Renee m on January 5, 2021

Reliable and great family car

I like the size, gets decent gas mileage. Has been needing only routine maintenance

Theresa H on January 5, 2021

My Chevy Impala has automatic transmission and is a four door model.

Wish it was smaller and better on gas would like newer model like that it has automatic transmission and shows when door is open or trunk is not locked like that is four door and had low mileage when I purchased easy to handle it is a silver color and has am and fm radio.

Cristina R on January 1, 2021

The car drives very smooth and is very spacious.

The vehicle has some problems at times with the tires. The transmission mest up a time or two but we applied a new transmission. The car needs a new paint job the front is off with the paint and there's is also a black spot on the left driver side of the car.

Molly M on December 30, 2020

Silver 2006 Chevy Impala grey interior with bench seat.

I love my Impala. The seats are very comfortable and the car has a bench seat which makes it seem very spacious. Great car all together, mostly nice it is my first car. Even being a car that is over ten years old it runs perfectly and has no presumed issues so far.

Helen B on December 26, 2020

The only complaint I have is with the muffler. It was bad and needed fixed right away.

We bought this car second hand, it was only 4 years old and it has been an excellent car. No real large problems. It was our first Chevy Impala.

Morghan P on December 25, 2020

My car is pretty reliable.

I don't like the fact that my air conditioning doesn't work. I do like how reliable my car has been for me these past few years. I don't like how much gas it needs.

Simon N on December 24, 2020

Impala ownership is the best ownership.

Overall good vehicle, very dependable, if anybody owns one they know that it is a hell of a vehicle. Never missed a beat since I had it with over 200, 000 miles on the motor. Very good car in the winter when ice is on the ground it literally goes everywhere no problem.

Mason L on December 18, 2020

Comfortable and efficient.

I enjoy the car because it is a smooth ride and works good. It also has good gas mileage. The bad thing is the sub visor is broken.

Nicholas K on December 16, 2020

My car the 2006 Chevy impala

It's a good car to drive it is fast and very fuel efficient I has nice heated seats and electric windows

kelly C on December 15, 2020

Tinted windows and full size tire.

My impala is the package. I really enjoy the size and how comfortable it drives. It came with a full size tire so changing a flat is difficult with the jack it comes with and it does not have access to the trunk from the inside cab. The cup holders could be placed different and it has no ashtray or cigarette lighter.

Nicole E on December 11, 2020

Gas mileage is ok. Could be better.

Plenty of room. No center console, Its an old cop car. Interior in nice. A-c does not work. Heater works great. I like the dome light.

Keeley G on December 1, 2020

My vehicle is a great family car that is eco friendly and safety focused.

This is a great car it is fast and reliable the only problem with it is that the heater makes a knocking sound every so often and the windows make a loud screeching sound when they are rolled down but other than that it is great for getting my family around and even has a seat belt reminder for the passenger seat.

Toy C on November 30, 2020

My engine is shocked so I would have to get another car.

I am having a lot of problems with my car and only had it for 3 years.. My engine is shocked right now.. It makes like a real loud knocking noise when I drive it.. The car is scratched up my mirrors are broken and truck does not close.. It was a beautiful car at first I loved it but not so much now.

Kaitlyn T on November 29, 2020

Chevrolet Impala, my first car. Not happy.

I bought my car at a local dealership, it started out great, no issues, I was very impressed. It seemed almost brand new. Then it broke down and I had to pay $200 to get it fixed. Then I found out it had way more problems then I thought. Now I want to get rid of it.

Walter J on November 28, 2020

Chevy Impala very nice ride I recommend it everybody else very safe runs nice

This car is Great commuter runs good nice air-conditioner kid friendly very reliable seats are adjustable electric mirrors and electric nice ride a few problems Replace transmission replaced air pump change the rotors brakes Nice Interior good lighting motor runs great after all very nice ride

First Name L on November 27, 2020

My Chevrolet Impala review.

I love the make and model of my car. Chevrolet is a great brand I wouldn't drive anything else. I love the look and style of the Impala. They run great and last quite awhile. The only problem I have noticed is that the transmission in Impalas usually go back or need repaired quicker than most, but overall I couldn't complain about my car.
