The 2008 Chevrolet Impala’s ubiquitous, nondescript styling is noted by reviewers across the Web. The Impala’s "anonymous styling," as Car and Driver calls it, might have been overlooked in recent years. Today, though, sedans like the Honda Accord, the Ford Fusion, and...

Other Choices:

The competition to the 2008 Chevrolet Impala follows a wide range of styles, but they're all very well-equipped models with spacious interiors. Among them, the Dodge Charger is the sportiest and most attention-getting, but its backseat is smaller, and with rear-wheel drive, it's arguably not as practical. The Charger R/T has a better-rounded performance-driving experience than the Impala SS, though. The Ford Five Hundred is the safety champion, with enviable crash-test results and Volvo-engineered platform, but like the V-6 Impala, it's not especially distinctive or fun to drive. Next to the rest of the models, the Impala doesn't particularly stand out for safety. The same goes for the Azera and Amanti, which have a lot of features for the money. The Avalon offers the most features in the class and especially impressive, rich materials inside.

    My 2008 Impala is becoming the car of my nighmares. The wind noise is unbelievable. The dealer says we can send it to a body shop to have the doors adjusted. Should a new vehicle need to have the doors adjusted!!?? The door molding was coming off, how do they fix it, with double sided tape. The leather in the back of the drivers side seat buckled after owning the vehicle for one month. I think I need to find a better quality maker.

    I have owned my 2008 Impala LS for a year now and I couldnt be happier. I have the flex fuel and am getting in the mid to high 30's on thr HWY, and if its even slightly downhill its in the 40's or higher. The quality seems to be excellent. I have one complaint, and it is that I didnt buy the LT, LTZ, or SS. I really want the LT spoiler and will order one soon.
