My Chevy experience. Very smooth and elegant. Style at the top of its class.

My vehicle has no issues and runs very smoothly even with high mileage. I really enjoy the auto stop feature where the car shuts off when you stop at a red light. It saves on gas and saves the earth. I have only own gm vehicles and that won't change anytime soon. Chevy impala is the go to vehicle for myself.

Jack P

Must get on-star with your car, you will love it!

Car handles very well in all types of weather even in heavy snow. Has good pick up for hwy driving and is very smooth riding. Gas mileage in the city is about 14 to 16 per mile on highway you will get 30 to 35 per mile which is very good for size of the car and weight. Safe features are great and with OnStar you have a double layer of protection. Inside of veh. Is very well made and is very able to adjust all seats and steering wheel to fit each person. Great car overall.

Lynn W

Smooth ride. There is an alert to notify you when you are speeding.

I have found the Chevrolet Impala to Be a very smooth and comfortable ride. The touch screen on dashboard is handy and the controls on the steering wheel is a nice touch as well. The issue are the blind spots, need to look over shoulder at times when changing lanes.

Junior P

Chevy has been in my life since 2008. Can't complain.

I have 1 month with my new vehicle is a 2017 Chevy Impala. I could not afford the luxury one but the o e I have makes me very happy and Very secure with a family of 4 makes it right we watch TV a lot and the commercials that Chevy is number one and dependable it is very smooth to drive has phone connection, wifi, you can download apps its very help full if you have kids plus teenagers. Its a v6 so gas is not an issue as long as you can maintain it at the correct fluids and mileage. Planning to give it for daughter as soon as she graduates from high school.

Kimberly B

Everything that I wanted with a tiny hiccup.

I have the premier edition, it is fully loaded and it is so comfortable and handles well. I get lots of compliments with how good my vehicle looks. My only complaint is the transmission is slow to shift when taking off quickly, it needs a performance transmission.

Amanda A

It's a great car but not for a family that has three kids

The only thing I hate is that it's a car because three kids do not fit comfortable in the back seat.

Meesh M

Chevrolet impala is the best.

The only problem I have with my vehicle is that it is very large and has no CD player. The car is very comfortable, reliable and drives very smooth. I love that it has Bluetooth features and satellite radio. The care is very roomy and has lots of very much needed trunk space.

Denise G

Low maintenance, get great gas mileage, no problems just general maintenance done.

We purchased the car after deciding that was the model we wanted and have had no problem with it and have had get service when needed.

Negative Owner Reviews

Shelby D

Grandma car that you cannot see out of.

It sits too low to the ground, I cannot see out of it. The pick up is good, gas mileage is ok. It is a grandma car. I have had the worst luck driving it because I cannot see out of it. The mirrors are too small. The front grill is coming off for no good reason, got it fixed and it fell off again.

Erica S

Just mediocre - generally reliable, but no bells and whistles.

It has the auto-stop feature that is meant to save gas, but there is an issue where it sometimes does not auto restart. Incredibly frustrating and dangerous when it does it in heavy traffic. For being a 2017, I would have expected it to have a back-up camera and bluetooth for playing media, but it is missing both of those features.

Jay A

I most definitely want a new car.

The car is decent but used and bent out of shape, needs a new paint job and other mechanical issues. Another thing I don't like is that my car is a gas guzzler, compared to previous cars I've had. One thing I am looking forward to is going to the mechanic getting the car fixed and trading it for a different vehicle.

Al W

Long and bulky car with reliability and space being its only positive features.

There are too many blind spots behind and on the sides that make it hard to see cars around you. The vehicle only has Bluetooth for phone calls, but not for music. I cannot get comfortable in the seat and it pushes my head forward in an uncomfortable position.

Frank smith

Get it fixed I guess

Andrew L

2017 Chevy impala review in 2020.

Negative: blind spot on driver side can cause issues. Positive: lots of room and trunk space. Good mpg especially highway. Good car for commuting to work. Have taken on multiple road trips as well. Always has performed well. Decent in snow with snow tires on.

Detron J

I live the gas mileage, as well as the shape and overall look of the car.

The air conditioner does not blow as hot any more, it does ride a. Smooth as it did when I originally purchased the vehicle. The vehicle did not come equipped with front floor mat as well as. Back floor mats. I have had multiple problem with the computer showing the wrong air pressure for the tires on the dashboard.

Anthony L

2017 Chevy impala review.

Good gas mileage, about 30 highway, 23 city, ample space in back seat and trunk, handles well. Have had the car for 3.5 years, put on about 70,000 miles, had. Ot had a mechanical issue yet. Only maintenance has been routine oil change, tire rotation, etc.

What Do Critics Say About the Chevy Impala?

Consumer Reports says the 2017 Chevrolet Impala is a remarkably enjoyable full size sedan, with good owner satisfaction scores as it ages.
Edmunds rates the Impala at 4.2/5, enjoying the relatively quick V6 engine, but doesn’t like the cheap interior panels.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Impala a 4.6/5, praising the comfortable seats, but owners don’t like the lack of all-wheel drive.

What Common Problems Does the 2017 Chevrolet Impala Have?

Common problems found on the 2017 Chevy Impala include paint fading, very dim headlights, along with rare cases of transmission failure. Overall, most of the problems are minor compared to other full size sedans, leading to lower repair bills as they age.

The paint fading is the most widespread complaint on the 2017 Chevy Impala, showing up at around 55,000 miles. Paint which is not properly cared for, and left in direct sunlight, will eventually start to fade. In some cases, you can polish the paint and it will bring back some luster. To permanently fix the faded paint, you will need to repaint the affected areas at a cost of roughly $1,000 per panel.

Very dim headlights are another problem mentioned by Impala owners in the first 1,000 miles. The lights simply are not as bright as some other cars on the market. There are replacement aftermarket bulbs which are brighter and can be found for around $50 if you need more light output while driving at night.

Transmission failures are rare on the 2017 Impala, but there have been a few reports from owners. Most of the time the transmission has failed under warranty, and has been replaced for free. In some cases, outside warranty owners have had the transmission rebuilt for about $2,800, while replacing the entire transmission costs around $4,500, depending on local labor rates.

How Long Will the 2017 Chevrolet Impala Last?

A well-maintained 2017 Chevy Impala can last around 200,000 miles, which is shorter than the long-lasting Toyota Avalon. Regular annual maintenance costs are slightly higher than some competitors, according to data provided by Repair Pal, at $495 per year.

As a used 2017 Chevy Impala reaches 100,000 miles, and depending on the vehicle history, owners should be prepared to replace the axle shaft seals for $150, spark plug wires costing $275, along with the heater hose which costs $450.

Janice H

Yes the Chevrolet impala ls is very reliable. The Chevy impala handle icy roads very well. It heats up very fast in the winter and cools down quickly in the summer.

ROSEMARIE S

Yes, it is very reliable. It is fuel efficient and has a very powerful engine. The trim is a perfect complement to the car.

Priscilla G

It is very reliable, but the front end lights are not bright enough. I have tried changing the lights to LEDs but that didn't work either.

RALPH w

No problems so far. Tires that came with seem to wearing out too soon, horn is a little hard to blow.

marguerite c

I have not had any problems accepts check engine light came on and had to replace sencer run great goes everywhere I have taken it.

L M

As with every car it has its ups and downs. The biggest problems I've faced is the infotainment display cutting out and not working. Also the catalytic converter cracked. The lining of the trunk is only held on by spray adhesive. Other than that not a lot of problems.

Victoria K

Yes. No problems, only standard service checks at regular intervals. Changed tires for winter weather snow, and again for summer.

How Is the Technology?

Standard entertainment technology is fairly basic, only offering a 4.2-inch central color display with Bluetooth connectivity. Optional entertainment technology includes a larger 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, along with a Bose stereo system.

There is no standard safety technology on the 2017 Impala.

Optional advanced driver assistance features include:

Rear parking sensors
Rearview camera
Adaptive cruise control
Forward collision warning
Automatic emergency braking
Rear cross traffic alert
Lane departure warning
Blind spot monitoring

Yes, definitely! I love this car. It is luxurious and quiet. The v6 engine provides more than enough power for me. It is attractive and has excellent gas mileage.

Ashley V on June 27, 2021

It's great to drive and it's reliable. It's terrible financially to maintain.

My car drives really smooth. That's probably my favorite feature. It feels solid and safe. The thing I hate is any repairs is expensive. My AC stopped working and it had something to do with a certain hose, but in order to replace it the entire dash needed to get taken out. The part was only $300. The labor was over $1000. Apparently if you need cabin filters changed they also need to take the dash out. So I'm not looking forward to most maintenance on my car. Also, oil changes are more expensive because it takes 7 quarts rather than the standard 5 quarts and it's full synthetic. Other than the upkeep or repairs on the car which is costly, the look of it, the features it offers and the ride itself is really nice.

Paige J on June 25, 2021

Lots of leg space in back seat.

Has a huge interior space. Lots of legroom in back seat for adults and teens alike. It has a smooth ride. Great for daily driving. Feels like a superior grade luxury car for less money. Highly recommend Chevy impala. Dislike the engine stop/start feature when at a stop light or sign. It also has a neat feature for adaptive driving.

Anthony Johnson on June 21, 2021

Keep making Impals

My first car was a 1978 Chevrolet Impala bought a car in 1982 kept until I had a 1000 miles. A second car was 1985 Caprice I kept that car for two years then I trade it in for an 1990 Chevrolet Caprice Brougham get that car for 6 years. Then traded that car in for 1995 Caprice kept that car for two years traded it in for 1996 Caprice I thought this car would be my last. But I drove that car till I hit 251000 miles then the reverse went out so I made some phone calls found a dealership that will take my old Caprice as is and trade it in for 2017 Impala. So you see I've always loved Chevrolets just hope that Chevrolet not stop making me Impalas. But I have seen a 2019 is the last but going on the web they show 2020 Impalas if they do that be in the next car so the age of 18 till now I'm 57 I've had either Caprice or Impala so it tells you how much I really enjoy Chevrolet

Joanna O on June 21, 2021

My Chevy impala 2017; burgundy red.

Ever since I noticed my impala I instantly fell in love it; it drives pretty smoothly. I have never had any problems with it, I take care of my vehicle at first signs of warning signs. I love the fact that my vehicle comes with apple carplay making it more convenient to use my phone. It is reliable it has never left me stranded.

Melisa H on June 19, 2021

Secret compartment/plenty of room.

This car happens to be one of the best cars I drove. It has a lot of room, great spacing and is very reliable. The truck has plenty of space. The back seat is big enough to hold 3 car seats for the kids. There are compartments in the dashboard to hide things of put certain stuff in a safe spot.

Keith H on June 7, 2021

Looks real nice and drives smooth. Visibility is great.

Like the car. Do not like the auto shut off feature when you come to a stop. Gas mileage is 28 mpg. More on the highway. Visibility is very good. Paint is great looking and shines but scratches real easy. Interior sits very well. Cloth seats clean easy.

Jack A on May 31, 2021

Dependability and comfort. Improved style and look...very sporty

Chevrolet Impala Premier. Excellent road handling, Dependable performance. Very good gas mileage. Highly recommended

Lisa D on May 7, 2021

Smoother rider my car is silver and it very shiny., when you see this car.

This vehicle is a great car, I had it since 2017. I wanted a car that had a lot of room in the car and this is the one. I love this car cause when you make a complete stop the motor will shut off. I love this car is smooth when you drive it. You can get a lot of tickets for speeding cause this car is so smooth.

Jeffrey K on April 15, 2021

2017 Chevy impala review.

My impala is very reliable, great performance! The car rides so smooth with great pick up and space very comfortable to drive for long and short trips. Has great features hand free cell phone use and excellent stereo system. Extra large trunk space for storage needs.

Alvis A on March 31, 2021

My Chevy experience. Very smooth and elegant. Style at the top of its class.

Jack P on March 25, 2021

Must get on-star with your car, you will love it!

Paul F on March 25, 2021

It's a good traveling car. People are often surprised with how much space there is in the backseat.

Love the look of the vehicle and the color (blue velvet). I have had issues with the airbag service message popping up for no reason I dislike that. I like the headlights of the impala a lot more than chevrolets other vehicles.

Asya B on March 19, 2021

The drive is smooth and the gas mileage is great.

I love my vehicle because it is good on gas. One reason I do not like it is because once my family grows it will not be big enough. I do not have an complaints.

Deborah W on March 12, 2021

It is comfortable to drive long distances.

Its quiet. It drives easily. It has a lot of extras. It has a lot of legroom for the backseat passengers.

Kacey R on March 11, 2021

2017 black Chevy impala lt.

It is a really cool car I love it myself has some small issues here and there like the compartments not closing properly, but it is a very comfortable spacious car it is got some cool features like the slide up scream monitor, has had some issue to get fixed but overall great car.

Hezikiah A on March 11, 2021

2017 Chevy impala positive reviews.

Hi, the vehicle has pretty cool features, auto seats and auto windows, Sirius XM radio capabilities. Safety features like anti lock brakes, drivers assistance. It handles pretty well around sharp curves. It also has an auto shutoff feature. There is no sunroof or backup camera but has Bluetooth capabilities.

Shelby D on March 8, 2021

Grandma car that you cannot see out of.

Jeff S on February 26, 2021

The Chevy impala is a fun car to cruise around in with It's powerful v6.

My vehicle had one issue with the mass flow sensor. Other than this issue the car has been rock solid. The v6 engine makes 300 hp and it's a blast to go driving in. It makes cruising, passing, and climbing steep roads effortlessly. Listening to the SiriusXM radio while cruising makes for a more enjoyable experience. The car is a base model so the features are minimal. The seats are made of cloth but are much more comfortable than leather in the hot weather.

Nyeire A on February 21, 2021

It is red with black interior.

I love my car it is very reliable and comfortable, I do not have many troubles with my car, it is drives very smooth, I love the color and if I do have any problems the pieces are very easy to find and get I recommend this car for anyone with children.

Ken P on February 17, 2021

The best Chevy made these days.

The car is a very good one it has most of the bells and whistles, rides very nice and has great lines and will look good and classy for years to come. The only things it does not have that I would like to have is parking sensors and the buttons to use as garage door and setting up the alarm.

Jessica C on February 15, 2021

It is a classic ride, but very modern.

Love my impala! It drives really smooth and is great on gas. I like the leather and cloth interior, gives it a fancy feel. The car itself, is super spacious. Very comfortable to travel in. I have not had any issues with performance and reliability. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Connor P on February 14, 2021

Very luxurious, I love driving it.

I have had my Chevy impala for 4 months now, although I am a truck guy, I love this car very much it has all the space, luxury and everything I need and want in a vehicle for my family. It is great on gas, comfortable for long trips and has a wonderful media center.

Alexander C on February 13, 2021

Has Wi-Fi, a rear camera. And everything else you’ll ever need!

The steering wheel is very comfortable, seat placement is perfect for how I like to sit, and features such as my car Wi-Fi is a really nice touch also. Everyone who comes in my car really likes that, also the seat covers are leather which I love. One more thing is the camera that helps you back up.

Julie A on February 13, 2021

That it has a huge trunk and amazing safety features

Love the trunk. Love how much room there is in the car. Love the safety features. Wish the back seat was slightly larger so it was easier to fit two carseats and an adult

Wendy N on February 12, 2021

The seat warmers are the best thing in the world due to back pain.

Nothing so far except for a minor issue with the seatbelt that was easily fixed. Other than that, I have had no issues or complaints. It drives well. Everything functions properly. I have had a great experience driving the car. This is also the second impala that I have owned. My family has also owned impalas for years.

Mark W on February 10, 2021

It is pretty fast and great color on it.

Got everything upgrade I love it, people love seeing it I promise it has speed to it, I left a couple of cars at full speed it is moving made a lot people mad out there the street might end up selling just to get someone else new and upgrade it great way to live, hellcats coming in to.

Antoine A on February 9, 2021

Little troubles ok car good on gas.

My vehicle drives okay it is a good family car and I like to drive it on trips but I do not like the steering and I am not used to the emergency brake being just a button but all around the car is very comfortable the front-end should have been a little more bigger because you can run into curves when you try to park.

Judith P on February 7, 2021

We love our Second Impala!

We do a lot of traveling and have found that the Impala not only offers lots of room for luggage and excess items, but is super comfortable.

Courtney M on February 7, 2021

My vehicle is the best it is reliable.

I love my 2017 Chevrolet impala, it is blue with leather seats, has seat warmers and it is good on gas. I only had one problem with my car and that was when the cv axle broke. It cost me $200 to have it fixed. There is nothing that I dislike about my car.

Tam G on February 5, 2021

App store on the display Wi-Fi capability.

Very comfortable with plenty of legroom. Drives smoothly and easy to control. Multiple outlets to charge phone. Easy to connect devices. OnStar capability. No issues since purchase of the vehicle. Sleek look. Good on gas. Front alerts if too close to another car. Clear backup camera. Large screen.

Jerry M on February 1, 2021

I like the lights inside.

This car runs great. I can easily get up to highway speeds when entering the highway. Extremely comfortable. Sound system is great. I have about 80,000 miles on the car and I have not had any problems so far. I also like the lane assist and backup cam. Careful with the lane assist though. It just tells you when your leaving your lane it does not keep you in your lane.

sydney N on February 1, 2021

Comfort of the Chevy impala.

All details are great. The interior is gorgeous and it is a very reliable car with great gas mileage. The seats are leather and very comfortable. The car drives smooth and I have not had a problem with it yet. I enjoy the larger size of the impala compared to my previous cruises.

Skyy A on January 31, 2021

It has great gas mileage.

My Chevy Impala offers great mileage and is very fuel efficient. It has a lot of safety features that give me the confidence and comfort to safely drive with my kids in the back seat. It's a very reliable vehicle.

Alan V on January 27, 2021

Great car simple problems.

I've had problems with an emission gasket. I had a busted light from an accident once fixed the plastic bumper would always pop off. The plastic around the volume and menu knobs have popped off a couple times I just super glued them back. I also had the light inside of the middle console burnout. Besides that the car is great it gets 18.34 miles to the gallon I use premium gas.

Great vehicle/ absolutely love it.

I don't really have any problems with my car. Since I purchased it is been ruining great and has performed at its max. I am not worried about a thing from my car. Of course your normal oil changes and maintenance for the car is needed at the correct mileage to keep it performing well.

Great vehicle with a lot of space.

The impala has a lot of space. Both in the back seat as well as a very large trunk. It is a very quiet vehicle and it drives smoothly. The impala has a lot of space. Both in the back seat as well as a very large trunk. It is a very quiet vehicle and it drives smoothly.

It drives smooth and you get what you pay for.

I really love my car its new, it does not waste a lot of gas and you do not need to step on the pedal with force it rides smooth. The leather seats make it easy to clean. The dark interior gives it a cold cool vibe and the price of the car is reasonable.

The screen where you look at the radio comes up and has a secret compartment.

The car in general is nice. It does slip from drive to neutral pretty easily without pressing the safety button though. I have had to pull over a couple times because it got knocked into neutral while I was driving. The speakers are pretty cool. The seats have a lumbar support adjust.

My awesome Chevrolet impala.

My vehicle is great looking and stylish. The. Burgundy color is beautiful and rich. The impala logo is distinctive. Chevrolet is a premium brand. This vehicle runs well. The engine is good and quiet. The amount of horsepower is excellent. The driver's seat goes back completely, and is very comfortable!

I do not give free rides. I'll take you but i need gas money.

I love the smooth ride. It is great on gas and the air works great. It gets great mileage on the highway and not a lot of noise.

Cheap paint. But over than that I love it.

It's a nice family car. Runs really nice and reliable. Lots of room. It's ok on gas. It was a time where is would shut off from time to time but I was a part on the car that was recalled. It is cheap paint on the car. So it's very easy to scratch that I don't like.

Spacious capacity review!

This car is very spacious and comfortable. The safety of this vehicle is impeccable. The leather interior is easy to clean while the silver outside does not show dirt very easy, and is quick to wash. The trunk has more than enough space to house anything for a week long trip. Even the tallest if people can fit in the back seat.

2017 Chevy impala. Fits anywhere:).

It's a comfortable drive. It's also roomy. I feel like it seems heavier and larger than it really is. I think the stock headlights could be better and the shifting when in manual mode is a little slow but I am not a professional. It's a good first family car. It has enough power and fuel economy at the same time.

IT IS A GREAT CAR EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT ABOUT IT

I LIKE THE POWER AND GAS MILEAGE I DO NOT DISLIKE ANYTHING

Sleek and stylish driving. Anyone that purchases this vehicle will fall in love immediately.

I like the color of the car. I like the body style. I do not like the auto stop feature.

Ken P on December 4, 2020

It is paid for so the insurance is now affordable.

My impala has almost all the extras and is fun to drive. The backup camera took some getting use to but is a great safety feature. It also has a lot of truck space. The lines of the car are stylish and will look good for a long time.

Tayvon A on November 27, 2020

To summarize my thoughts about my car is far as everything about my car I love it.

As fast as problems with my Chevrolet impala I rarely have problems with it & as for how serious the problems is very light problems whenever I come across them & the performance is 100%, reliability is 100%, comfort is 100% & other features could be better so I will say 50%.

Chevy impala 2017 short owner review.

It is a nice reliable car in my experience. I have had no problems with it in the past 2 and a half years. It has nice seats and good air conditioning that heats up and cools off fast. The trunk space is not the largest but I find it good enough for most daily activities.
