Our Review of the 2008 Chevrolet Impala LS

People who buy a Chevrolet Impala are often happy with purchase. For over a decade, the Impala has been one of the mainstays of the Chevrolet brand. This has always been a meaningful car, and the 2008 model is no different. A sedan for everyone in the household is what the Chevrolet Impala delivers.

Chevrolet Impala Engine Specs

Chevrolet Impala Engine Specs: The Impala LS comes outfitted with a 3.9 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a General Motors 4-speed transaxle. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.

The 2008 Impala’s traditional fuel system runs on flex. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel tank holds 17.00 gallons.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Impala has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Vehicle Statistics

The Impala is 200.40 inches long, 72.90 inches wide, and 58.70 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 110.50 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $21,650, with an invoice cost of $20,459. This price is above average of the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

A powertrain warranty is provided (100,000 miles/60 months), and a 36,000 mile, 36 month guarantee also comes with the Chevrolet Impala. This is standard for the price range.

Fuel Efficiency

The Impala LS received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty nine when it came to long-distance. Being a flex-powered hybrid car, this was exceptional.

We Think…

The 2007 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Impala. The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Impala LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
