2010 Chevy Impala

The Chevy Impala is a model that has been around in some form since the 1950's. The 2010 Chevy Impala is quite different than original models, and offers a great assortment of modern features. Unfortunately, previous model years have been losing popularity to new models offered by other manufacturers. The full size sedan is still offered at a reasonable price and is moderately stylish. Interior aspects are well refined, but there is still something peculiar about these Chevy cars. The most noticeable benefits are their reliability and quality of engineering that drastically reduce maintenance costs.

Overall interior quality is very high. The ride comfort is very nice and road noise is practically non-existent. Rear passengers will have enough room for long trips to move around and stay comfortable. Drivers will easily be able to access the dashboard and instrument clusters. Trunks on the 2010 Chevy Impala are very spacious as well.

Three different trim packages are offered for the '10 model year. These include the LS, LT, and LTZ. Base models have standard 16 inch steel wheels, dual climate controls, tilting steering wheels, cruise control, full power accessories, and optional CD players. LT models come with a few more amenities including front bucket seats with electric powered motors. Other features are 16 inch alloy wheels, keyless remote entry and starter, compass, and temperature displays. Both the LS and LT models are very reasonably priced compared with comparable competitor's models. Body styling may actually be the factor that detracts from the model's popularity. While they are distinctive, they just don't fit the mold of a full size sedan.

High end models are the LTZ trim packages. They come with 18 inch alloy wheels, stiffer suspension systems, heated mirrors, and optional spoilers. On the inside consumers will have leather seats that are heated, dimming mirrors, Bluetooth and Ipod connectivity, and a Bose engineered sound system. Many of the features offered on LTZ models can be placed on the LS or LT packages for an additional price.

Two different engines are offered for the 2010 Chevy Impala. The smaller engine is a 3.5 liter V-6 that is capable of 211 horsepower and a nice 216 pound feet of torque. Even the smaller engine is more than capable of giving optimum performance in the acceleration department. For a little more power there is a 3.9 liter V-6 that boasts 240 horsepower and 235 pound feet of torque. All LTZ models come equipped with the larger engine. Fuel economy for the 3.5 liter comes in at 18 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The larger engine gets between 17 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. For a full size sedan the Impala puts out very respectable numbers in the fuel economy category.

Standard safety features include electronic stability control, front airbags, side airbags, full curtain airbags, antilock brakes, and On Star emergency systems. For both frontal and side impact crash tests the Impala gets very high scores. The only test that different receive a perfect rating were rear passenger tests. Compared with vehicles like the Hyundai Sonata or Honda Accord the Impala may just be one of the safest vehicles in the full size sedan class.

It's hard to argue with all the features and options available on the Impala. What is questionable however is the overall body style. Consumers looking for a standard sedan that doesn't set out it's own distinct styling may look somewhere else to fill their needs. Those who don't mind a distinct vehicle and want a lot of options and power will do well with the 2010 Chevy Impala that is a part of American history.

Koni Shock and Struts - Rear [77-96 Chevrolet Impala / Impala SS 4/5DR] $120.6 "KONI uses a variety of technologies: twin-tube low pressure gas-hydraulic dampers, twin-tube hydraulic dampers and mono-tube gas-hydraulic dampers.
