Full Review

Other Choices:

Among the competitors to the Chevy Impala, 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 Taurus 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 rich, impressive materials inside. Everything considered, the competition to the 2009 Chevrolet Impala follows a wide range of styles, but they're all well-equipped models with spacious interiors.

    Chevy Impala

    I bought an 2009 Impala SS last December and I absolutely love it, too bad it not RWD.

    I miss the six tail lights. Its 40 years of tradition tossed out so that there isn't an instantly recognizable Chevy on the road today. (Save for the new Camaro)
