My Impala is perfect

I love how big and comfy my impala is, it has a bench seat up front and can seat 6. It has excellent power and is trustworthy on long road trips! The car has been very reliable and has only needed minor repairs. It is getting older though…every so often it will make a funny noise and when it gets tired it needs a little extra coaxing to start and stay running. I plan on keeping it until it quits on me.

I LOVE MY 2005 GOLD CHEVY IMPALA. MY 65 CHEVYISS.

My 2005 Chevy Impala has been a good car.bought it used in 2010.was told it was used as a Rental Car that came from Salt Lake City.My other car was a 1965 Chevy Impala SS."Canary Yellow"Mr.Robert Gibson called it a"Cream puff "also bought used about 1973 from Robert Gibson.Used Car Auto Sales on North 4th St..had that one for years.Good car...with time had the engine replaced with an overhaul by Solis mechanic & a new transmission from Aamco transmission.My 2005 had an ignition recall around 2015.the Chevy Dealer I took it too didn't do the recall right.other car owners with same recall.had replaced ignition switch&given two keys.my car never showed what they did.took it back because key came off while engine was on.they said,they never did nothing to the ignition switch.what can I do about that? I'm an older woman,alone with no knowledge on cars.other than minor problems,like security light blinking,car not starting,having to wait 10 to 20 minutes for Security lite to stop blinking&car starting.had to have the dash cluster fixed for dash lites&gauges to work.Now headlites,having to hold signal bar to have bright headlites&power windows not working.have or try to keep up maintenance on car.oil changes.new radiator,power steering fixed,new brake pads, alternator,water pump.hoses etc.parts replaced.I love my 2005 Chevy Impala❤️ just like my 65 Chevy Impala SS.❤️LOVE BOTH BODY STYLES.MCG
