2007 Chevrolet Impala Review: Expensive Car with Poor Reliability and Mechanical Issues

Alex Showalter

Feb 24, 2022

2007 is a bad year for the Impala, lasting only 150,000 miles with serious engine problems. At $5,778 – 11,757 it’s not worth the money compared to cheaper rivals.

The Good

Safety scores are good, the engines have decent power and there’s room for up to six people.

The Bad

Costly engine problems are very common, the car drives like a boat and the interior is full of cheap materials.

2007 Chevrolet Impala: Key Points

Reliability is poor, with frequent engine and electrical problems. We recommend avoiding 2005 through 2009, and going with a 2010 or newer.
There are two efficient V6 engines, and a powerful V8 found in the SS model.
Fuel economy is great at 22 MPG combined.
Safety ratings are excellent, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
We don’t recommend the 2007 Chevy Impala, ranking 8^th out of 10 full-size cars based on owner reviews. Mechanical problems make the car expensive to own and 2007 is a year to avoid.

Positive Owner Reviews

Wendy S

It's comfortable, reliable and affordable.

This car is very comfortable, easy to drive and affordable. We have had minimal issues and those were caused by an accident caused by another driver. My family has zero complaints. I would strongly recommend purchasing a Chevy impala and would look for another newer model when I finally need to replace it. However, it is twelve years old and going strong, so hopefully that will be in a long time.

Nancy H

The car gets great gas mileage both in the city and on the highway.

I love the car it is dependable, just have battery trouble one a year.

Sarah J

2007 Chevy impala bought used. High mileage.

I own a 2007 Chevy impala. Have had it for 6 years. I love this car because it is very comfortable and reliable. Excellent in the snow. I purchased it used with 75,000 miles on it and it now has 172,000 miles on it. I have never had any major issues. Hoping to get another year or two out of it. Very happy.

wanda w

It has the power of a cop car.it has the power and will get away from you so if you have a like this be careful it could get away from you.good luck on your next car purchase,

It's a gas saver and easy to drive.love the radio and using the steering wheel to control the radio.

Patricia E

I live in Texas so air conditioning is important and the impala has great air conditioner.

I love that its reliable and gets me where I need to go. I like that it had low miles on it at the time of purchase. I dislike the color my preference would not be to have a white car but the price was right.

Cynthia G

Gets good gas mileage. Can go from Abilene, Texas to Dallas, Texas and back on one tank of gas

I like the fact my car is bigger than my last one, has cruise control, and has good gas mileage. There is nothing I dislike about my car.

Elizabeth B

The most important thing is the comfort we have while traveling in it.

Very comfortable to ride in. Mileage is fair . It works and runs like a great car. I believe they are made well as long as they are maintained like we do.

Melissa N

It drives really well and can fit five people.

I like that it has good mileage. It runs very smoothly and is easy to use. It is also the perfect size for me.

Negative Owner Reviews

Margaret A

It's fast and stays clean I like to keep my vehicles spotless

Very comfortable car, but the performance is not so good. The tranny skips, and power steering is always leaking or losing fluid somewhere. These vehicles are known for that though. It's very good on gas mileage. I also keep up with oil changes and tune ups.

Gaynell b

Poor Performance, Expensive Repairs

I hate everything about my car. My previous car was totaled and I to replace it; I did this shortly after my husband died and I regret my choice. This is a horrible car!!!

Richard Hostnick

Would never buy a US made vehicle again.

Had to replace the oil pan gasket every 30,000 miles. Had to replace the AC at 43000 miles. Transmission cooler line leaking. Replace intermediate steering shaft at 35000 miles. Replace both from large speaker. They are cardboard. Replace the HVAC door actuator 3 times. Had a 1998 Maxima with 90000 miles and never had near these problem.

Debbie F

Bad car wish I had never purchased it.

I have had nothing but problems with the car and dealership since I purchased it. Everything has broken down transmission air conditioning radiator trim falling off of course brakes and tires and it only has 69k miles on it.

Ellen G

Actuator goes bad frequently.

There are blind spots that cannot be avoided. These blind spots on are both sides of the vehicle at the rear quarter panel. There is an actuator for the heating and cooling system that goes out often. It makes a horrible noise when not working. Both actuators have been replaced twice since I bought the car used two years ago. Not an expensive part, just a pain to replace. Not happy having to do it repeatedly.

Sarah H

Comfort if you put in the work

It's reliable but has had some consistent minor issues. Air conditioning has been fixed multiple times to not make a horrible noise when turned off. I had issues with the ignition releasing my key had to have the whole shifter module replaced. It is roomy and comfortable. It has the ability for on Star connection. It has had issues with the oil sensor telling me oil is low pressure or needs to be filled when it isn't or doesn't.

Jacqueline W

It is overall okay and is very reliable with comfy seats.

When I turn the heat from hot to cold or vice versa, it makes a loud clicking noise for about a minute. It is a comfortable vehicle. Mine has transmission issues because it has high mileage, but it is still a reliable vehicle. My car has an AUX port so that is nice.

Paula C

Impala nightmares. Looks are deceiving

Chevy Impala but when it comes to tire pressure at 10 she waited a little different than other vehicles that I've owned the AC is okay the heater works perfect it's just not what I'm looking for and it's not as roomy or it's comfortable seating because the driver side sits up higher than the passenger side seat so my aunt of 84 years old has a hard time seeing over the dash and getting in and out of the car.

Top Critics Reviews

Consumer Reports found the Impala to be behind competitors, with a very low owner satisfaction rating.
Edmunds rates the Impala 4.2 out of 5 with powerful engines, but poor handling dynamics.
Kelley Blue Book gives the Impala a 4.3 out of 5, noting good passenger room but poor build quality.

What Problems Does the 2007 Chevrolet Impala Have?

The Chevy Impala has many severe problems including the heater, air conditioning, engine problems and pass lock system. The 2010 model offers improvements, making the extra $1,200 worth the cost.

Heater and air conditioning problems are widespread on cars with 87,000 miles. There are several sources to the problem, including compressor and thermostat failures. Replacing a thermostat costs about $380, and compressors are over $1,000.

Engine problems, including head gasket failures, are common at 75,000 miles. Head gasket failures can cause a motor to seize when not addressed quickly. Replacing the head gasket costs about $1,400, depending on local labor rates.

Pass lock system problems are also very frequent and prevent the car from starting at around 75,000 miles. There are bypass modules costing about $300 which will disable the security system, or replacing parts can cost over $500.

There are only 3 recalls, which is significantly fewer than other full-size cars from 2007. Recalls include fuel tank adhesive layers, steering, and ignition components. All are serious, affecting the long-term reliability of the car.

How Much is the 2007 Chevrolet Impala Worth?

Blue book prices range from $5,778 – 11,757, making the Impala more expensive than the Crown Victoria and Magnum. When new, prices ranged from $21,015 to $28,040. Depreciation is average for a sedan, losing 10% of its current value per year.

How Long Will the 2007 Chevrolet Impala Last?

Regular maintenance can help an Impala last around 150,000 miles, around 100,000 miles shorter than the Crown Victoria or Avalon. Maintenance costs are in line with other full-size cars, according to Repair Pal at $410 per year.

As the 2007 Impala ages and reaches over 100,000 miles, there are some maintenance items buyers should prepare for. They include spark plug wires for $250, steering gearboxes costing $600, and control arms which cost $425.

Kim D

My Chevrolet impala is very reliable. The only problem I had was my battery died so I couldn't drive it until I got a new one and after replacing the battery, I had to get a new actuator because it was draining my battery.

Makenzie D

It is very reliable. The only problems have come with age and were quite easily fixed by a trip to a mechanic.

Alexander W

The car is very reliable. Even with high mileage, there are few problems that even arise, like needing to charge oil, tires, etc.

Eneida R

It does not have many problems and is reliable. It is a good commuting car, but gas mileage could be improved.

Kelsey D

It is reliable, the only problem we had was with a sensor. Which was a really cheap fix. Otherwise it is proven super reliable.

Kylie D

I feel that it has been reliable. Only issues have been with the ac/heating unit making a noise. I have purchased new brakes and a tail pipe for the car.

Sherry R

It is very reliable! Just had a flat tire but that could happen to any car other than that have not had any problems. If you want a reliable car. Buy a Chevy.

Jamia J

So far so good my I need a new wheel bearing but besides that my car runs really well. I haven't official drove it yet but I plan on it really soon.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

The technology in the 2007 Chevy Impala is very basic compared to other cars from the same year.

Standard technology includes an AM/FM/CD stereo system with 6 speakers and a 3.5mm auxiliary input.
Upgrades include satellite radio, and a Bose stereo system with 8 speakers.
For safety, there are standard anti-lock brakes and airbags. Upgrading to the LTZ or SS model adds traction control.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is weak in the base 2007 Impala models. The larger engine found in the SS gives it decent acceleration, taking only 5.6 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

An average amount of power is available in the base 3.5L-V6 with 211 horsepower.
The engine found in the LT and LTZ models is the more robust 3.9L V6 with 290 horsepower.
Stepping up to the SS model gets you a powerful 5.3L V8 with 303 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Impala?

As a large sedan, the 2007 Chevy Impala is similar in size to rivals including the LaCrosse, and Chrysler 300. Passenger room is good in the front and back seats, easily fitting adults. A unique feature found on the Impala is a front bench seat, giving the car enough room for up to 6 people.

Cargo space is excellent with a large 18.6 cubic foot trunk, which will easily fit 5-6 suitcases.

How Does the 2007 Chevrolet Impala Compare to Other Cars?

The highest-rated full size sedan of 2007 is the Toyota Avalon. Where the Avalon stands out is with more power, technology, and better reliability ratings. All the Impala can offer is more passenger room. Overall, the Avalon is a significantly better car for shoppers.

Another close competitor is the Crown Victoria. Reliability ratings are better in the Crown Vic, but the Impala is a sportier car to drive. Given the age of the cars, we recommend the Crown Victoria since it will last longer.

Final Verdict: Is the 2007 Chevrolet Impala a Good Car?

No, the Impala gets a low overall rating of 4.1 out of 5 based on 351 verified owner reviews, with a lot of expensive repairs reported.

Downsides include costly engine and air conditioning system problems, and a soft driving experience. Some positives include more power than some rivals, and good safety ratings.

Overall 2007 is a year buyers should avoid. There are some quality improvements for the 2010 model, but even then it’s a very outdated sedan.

Kim D

Yes. My car is very reliable as long as you replace things when they need to replace and you get it looked at when you get your oil changed. I have only have had to replace a couple of things, but they were both pretty cheap to replace.

Makenzie D

Yes. It is a very reliable vehicle. I love the leather and heated seats because it makes winter so much more bearable. Although it is rough in the summer sometimes.

Alexander W

Yes, the vehicle maintains a comfortable driving experience, despite having high mileage (200,000+), as long as maintained. It still looks sharp when I am getting in to commute to my destination. The car is simply awesome.

Eneida R

Yes, it works well and runs how it is suppose to. Some areas could be improved but overall it is a vehicle that runs well.

Kelsey D

Yes, it is great on gas and a good little family car. It is easy to work with and clean on the inside. Good for a small family, couple, or college students just wanting to get around.

Kylie D

Yes, it has been a reliable car and has only needed a few improvements such as brakes and tail pipe.

Sherry R

Yes it runs great nice heat and air, runs smooth, has heated seats which are wonderful! It is not rusting it has 107,000 miles on it and I think it will last a long time.

Jamia J

Yes it is, I love the fact it has the six cord option in addition it has a lot of space.. It is 4 door and most importantly it is not a gas guzzler.

Oil leaks

My 2007 Impala LT with a 3.5 sucks nothing but money pit with only 161*** mile Valve covers, camshaft sensor, crankshaft seal, oil pan, intake gaskets, oil filter housing gaskets All replaced due to massive oil leaks and it still has a leak I'm not dumping any more money into it since the only thing left is head gaskets id rather blow it up I'll never get another Impala .

Brian C on May 17, 2021

My car was built will an is real dependable.

Since my vehicle is older with over 300,000 miles on it. It is start to show it age a little.

Sabrina H on April 2, 2021

Very roomy and comfortable I love being in my car!

My vehicle is very nice inside. It gets pretty good mileage. It rides nice. It is very roomy and very comfortable

Josey W on March 30, 2021

Great features for 06 Chevy Impala.

It has CD feature, cigarette outlet/charger port, heated back window. Has cruise control and auto high beam turn off when light is detected. It's a great starter car for a new driver. We've had the car about four months and it has not given us any problems. The dealership made sure it was in top shape when we first leased it.

J H on March 26, 2021

The amazing Chevrolet Impala.

The Chevrolet Impala it is reliable and it is long lasting car. It is many qualities like saving on gas and great horse power. You can install a lot features to upgrade but it comes with everything a regular person could ask for. Great on road trips and highways for long periods of time.

Donna B on March 18, 2021

It is in good shape and low miles for its model year.

I don't like that my car doesn't really fit me. I wasn't the one to pick it out just kinda inherited it. I am a Chevy person.

Kaitlyn M on March 16, 2021

Cons of my vehicle & pros of why it is decent.

My vehicle is very good on gas & it is very spacious. I love the interior design and the fact that it is a four door vehicle. The air conditioning works great and the miles per gallon are even better. My vehicle drives very smoothly & I would rate it a 3 out of 5. It is not the best but it is very decent.

Tina P on March 15, 2021

The Impala is a great reliable car.

I love my Impala. The only thing that I did not like is the traction control light comes on all the time and no one seems to be able to fix it. The traction control is suppose to be working, According to my garage.

Tom S on March 14, 2021

The vehicle performance is incredibly reliable

Gas goes quickly. Performance is truly reliable. Minimal wear and tare on a daily basis. The speed of the car is sufficient. The daily care is simple. The interior is incredibly easy to clean and to keep well organized. The air conditioning is reliable and cold. Minimal electrical issues. And consistently passes inspection

Gena F on March 9, 2021

It does not ride or feel like a truck. It is more like a sports car.

I love the longevity of the vehicle and ease of handling. I do not like that the sensors are a constant issue throughout the vehicle.

Kala P on March 9, 2021

Very dependable and reliable vehicle. Really good on gas, haven't had any issues in the past 2 years of owning this vehicle.

I'd definitely recommend this vehicle, I bought my impala with 120,000 miles on it and it currently has 180,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. My car has only had 1 owner before myself and had no issues as well. Since having my Impala the obit things I've needed to replace are some ball joints, sway bars, the tires, and oil changes every 4k miles. I just did a tune up today and it didn't need any new plugs or wires. This car runs amazing and is so good on gas. I love that it's flex fuel as well. I can definitely see myself getting another 100k on this vehicle no problems.

Jacob B on March 1, 2021

Chevy impalas are a great car for a first time user, or a long time driver

I really enjoy my impala. It gets great highway miles, while also looking like a luxury car. The interior is fabric; this makes it a little harder for cleanup, but I prefer it for when it gets hot during the summer. My Air conditioner did not ever work, but the heater worked great in the winter.

Nicole T on February 28, 2021

Nothing really Seems like a good car if you keep up with it.

I don't like that it has this loud clicking noise that I have to fix but it drives pretty well.

Carla B on February 26, 2021

07 Chevy Impala! Love it!

I love it, it's a great car. The only trouble I have had with it are the lights. Which I've had to replace the switch twice but it's an 07 and has 340,000 miles on it and still runs great!! I definitely would recommend this car to anyone especially first time drivers. It's roomy.

Alyssa A on February 23, 2021

8/10 stars for my Chevy impala!

My 2007 Chevy impala runs really well. The only issues that I have had are related to lack of care by the previous owner, but, otherwise it is in great shape! However, my tire sensor refuses to work, despite having been replaced multiple times. I quite enjoy the quick start feature, as well as the setup on the interior. Drives far better than my Corolla ever did!

Betty V on February 18, 2021

Easy to drive. Seats five easy. Child safety features.

It keeps moving. I do not like the threshold, its to high. I like the power windows, key photos, large trunk and child safety features.

Sharon P on February 14, 2021

Is fairly easy on gas and drives great.

Like the way it dives. Is a larger car so there's more protection if I would be in an accident. Very stylish.

John M on February 12, 2021

Good on gas. Easy to work on it.

Good on gas. Reliable to take me where I need to go.

Mia P on February 8, 2021

Heated seats, sunroof, air and heat

It has heated seats in the front, air and heat works properly, friendly music to accommodate the customer! Child lock on the right side door but can put it on both, child proof lock windows as well. Set belts all work except for the one in the middle at the back ! Leather seats, sunroof white car

Julie S on February 7, 2021

The seats fold down and you can play music on your phone with an AUX cable.

My Impala is a 2007, I have never had any major issues with it. Just routine things like oil changes, new tires and new brakes. I truly love my car! It is very comfortable, roomy and has a huge trunk. I would highly recommend an Impala and the next car I purchased will likely be a Chevy!

Rebecca B on February 7, 2021

2007 Chevy Impala. Do you dare?

I have only had it a short time, it is silver with gray cloth interior. It has used some oil, alerting me with a dash light. It gets pretty good gas mileage. The interior is pretty plain, not even Bluetooth capable. No fancy rearview mirror, no fancy anything. I guess that's less to malfunction in the future. It has a 3. 5 liter engine that is in fact pretty doggy. But it runs good I guess for what it is a gramma car.

Cynthia M on February 3, 2021

I have gotten very good service with this vehicle.

Love it. Drives good. . . Good gas mileage. Stylish car. Haven't had any problems thus far with this vehicle.

Valerie D on February 1, 2021

It runs good and is excellent in rain and snow.

It's been a great running car except for a few problems. Steering wheel shaft was replaced at about 30, 000 miles. At 70, 000 trans started slipping, mind you this car has never been beat on. Eats up gas but its a big heavy car so I am ok with it. Leaks oil now but it at 110, 000 miles.

Bailey W on February 1, 2021

It has some power to it even though it looks small.

I like how the car sounds more like a truck than anything. The radio is super loud and the a/c is great. Also has a nice wood interior look to it.

Wendy S on January 29, 2021

It's comfortable, reliable and affordable.

Julie V on January 27, 2021

It gets good gas mileage. Easy and fun to drive as well as easy on the wallet

I bought it new. It has been very reliable. It is very steady during winter. I drive a great deal for work and it is nice to have a safe reliable car

Christina S on January 25, 2021

It's a very dependable and reliable car. I love it.

I like everything and don't hate anything. It's a good dependable car.

George J on January 15, 2021

Great gas mileage. This car will get 31 mpg at 65 mph

I bought it used from a friend. I've only had it for 5 days, but it seems to get great gas mileage and is a very simple, clean interior

Jill C on January 14, 2021

This car is still pretty and can give newer models a run for their money. It's there for us when we need it. It's peppy enough for us.

The car has been dependable - starts in the coldest of weather. Has needed few repairs. Still looks good. Mileage pretty good. The only minus I can think of is it's not as comfy a ride as a luxury car.

April L on January 12, 2021

I love the automatic moon roof and stereo system in the Chevrolet impala.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet impala. This is the second impala that we have owned. Our first impala had over 200, 000 miles and was still running like a champ when we sold it. My husband felt I needed a car with less miles to travel back and forth to work. I am the second owner of the 2007 impala and have had absolutely no issues. The main thing you always need to do is maintenance your car and have your oil changed. The Chevrolet impala will take you many miles down the road. You will not be disappointed with an impala!

Wil W on January 2, 2021

It probably did great for the first 100,000 miles, but it's only been downhill since then.

It's reliability is low, and nothing is easy to work on. It does have heated leather seats, though.

Jasmine J on January 2, 2021

Reliable car for a family.

Reliable car, but the ac makes noise. It's good for long drives to travel anywhere in the United States.It runs smooth even though it a 2007 car. And it allows up to five people in the car at once. The trunk is big and has a lot space in it for whatever you like.

Gertrude W on December 30, 2020

This car is reliable and has few problems. I expect it to last me a lot longer.

It gets me where I want to go. It is reliable. I have few problems with it. It is difficult to open trunk in snowy weather. It is impossible to open trunk in icy weather.

Beth B on December 29, 2020

Reliable car with many minor issues.

My car speakers have gone out almost completely. The six cord does not work. The car charger plugin is very unreliable. The transmission is beginning to have issues. My shocks need fixed and I need an alignment. I enjoy the amount of space I have in it though. It has been pretty reliable so far. I have driven it across the country with no issues.

Michelle K on December 27, 2020

There are only two problems I have had with the car which are an oil leak and the actuator going bad.

I like the style of the car, and it runs very smoothly. However, the actuator keeps going bad.

Lila D on December 25, 2020

That it is a very dependable car.

Dependable, roomy, good ride. And very comfortable. I have owned several Impalas over the years and have found them to be very reliable cars. They are also very stylish.

Bobby M on December 25, 2020

All black with chrome on the windows make it look very nice when cleaned up.

Often have problems with my cars tires losing air frequently. Other than that it is a very reliable car that can get me from place to place great for a first car and the newer models of this car are even nicer. I would definitely get this car for my child's sixteenth birthday if I had a child.

Kristen C on December 24, 2020

Pros and cons of my vehicle.

I have never had any problems with vehicle besides one of the belts. One problem I did have was the ignition problems. Had to get it change twice and gear shaft will not after a while. The harness had to be change that was the problem for both the ignition and gear shaft.

Clyde Harrell on December 17, 2020

Good generic car.

The Impala is overall a really good generic car. My parents bought an 07 ls in 2010 with very low mileage, then sold me the car in 2018. The car is spacious, rides pretty good for it's age and mileage, a get 27-30 mpg depends how fast I drive, where I drive, etc. I have had some electrical problems like when you leave your keys in the car the beeping sound doesn't always come on but that's very minor. My car is on its third catalytic converter, I just recently replaced the alternator. The biggest and most annoying problems I have had has been leaks. I have a transmission oil leak and engine oil leak. Both have been "fixed" but still leak. So watch out for leaks. I would recommend this car if it has low mileage. My car has 180k right now. Also maybe it's my car but the speakers are horrible, I get terrible sound. It doesn't get very loud, andi don't get much base.Just some little things that I don't like, but I love the driver seat feature where you can have more lower back support, that's my favorite feature! The seats are very comfortable, the car heats up during the winter very quickly and cools off pretty quickly too. My favorite feature would be the lower back support on the driver seat! My car is one of the more generic versions but I really like it.I love how big the trunk is,I love how spacious the interior is. It handles really well in snow, it doesn't handle well in rain and wind, it'll get pushed around very easily more than most cars but I just slow down a lot and then have no problems.

Imelda B on December 14, 2020

The Chevy impala capability.

My vehicle is very reliable wherever I go with my family. The air conditioning system and heat system work amazing on this AZ heat.

Jack M on December 11, 2020

It can tick from time to time which is annoying but it's just the heating vent getting jammed and I wish that Chevy had thought ahead for that.

I love my Chevy, especially the easiness to use it and it's extra front row bench seat.

John B on December 4, 2020

The electrical harnesses are bad. Are not heat resistant.

I like the car for its style. I don't like the quality of the electrical harnesses because they lack heat resistant and lead to failure and misread by the computer. The gas mileage also sucks. Hell I just put a transmission in mine less than a month ago.

Geraldine L on December 3, 2020

Keeping it good running condition. I have the oil and tires checked regularly

I have had this vehicle. Gets mileage. Really like the cruise control. Have no complaints

Megan M on December 2, 2020

I love how spacious it is.

No problems. Very comfortable. Verisafe. Radio is amazing. Good in bad weather. I love the color. Backseat is very comfortable and spacious. Brakes work very well. Trunk is very big. Tires are good. Very good on mileage. Does okay on gas. I love my car.

Lindsay S on December 1, 2020

There was a factory recall on the ignition switch. Dealer will fix for free.

Very reliable, no major issues. The a/c will click for a couple minutes if the temperature it at it is coldest setting.

Ziggy W on November 29, 2020

The impala that I dreamed of.

The car drives very nice and holds up very well with proper maintenance. The only issue it has is that it has a knocking sound when you turn on the air and when you first get into the vehicle. The car has over 200,000 miles and is still going strong like it is not cold at all.

Kimberly M on November 28, 2020

My favorite part of my car is the wood on the dash.

I love the interior of the car and the wood on the dash it is also really easy to clean and very spacy for a family. The trunk is huge and there is a lot room if you are traveling with your family. The headlights are bright and the look of the outside of the car is nice as well. I get a lot of compliments on my car people are surprised by the interior.

Paula C on November 26, 2020

Impala nightmares. Looks are deceiving

Robert K on November 26, 2020

Plenty of headroom for the driver and the rest of the passengers

It is comfortable and gets good mpg. No complaints.

Be prepared to only get parts from Chevy and have to pay double the price

I love this car I have drove it daily for years. The only major issue that I have had is the Transmission cable broke and I had to get one direct from Chevy. Auto Parts stores could not give me one.. This took 3 days to get .. Not helpful and sucks as the parts should be readily available

It really do ride smooth I wouldn't be hesitant to buy a newer model.

For my vehicle to be a 2007 with low miles I keep having transmission issues I also keep getting evap sensor going off and have taken it to shops many of times with them saying it's nothing during the four smoke test and it still comes on .
