开Chevrolet Impala的朋友，咱们一起切磋切磋如何？
 

我的2004 Impala新车，2.54万购于去年10月。从去年10月中旬到年底，每天至少跑70km来回于downtown和Markham，保险每月218。现在只是周末开开，保险降为189刀。
现在车况良好，刚免费首次换了engine oil（6400km，稍微多了点，应在5000km换最好）。油耗大致为9.8 ~11.8 L/100km 高速＋市内。
圣诞节到Blue Mountain的山坡加雪地跑了一圈，用2档，在长长的陡雪坡均表现优异。

break in, it seems 6400km first time ol change is too late for break in, take care of your beauty...

2003 impala, 60k so far so good, <8l/100km on highway in summer and around 9l/100km for now. :-)

Break in already finished
 

My already finished the break-in before 850 km. Changing oil at 6500 km is really a little late, but I was told it is ok, no problem.

Learning from you
 

It seems I should learn from you to lower my fuel cost. Do you use 3 instead of D in local? Any other tips? Thanks!

i always used D (my car have ABS and Traction control). the key is to drive it as gently as you can. doing full throttle start will just waste your money. and i am driving on hwy most of the time (80%). :-)

Thanks
 

手册上说3档适合在市区，且比D档省油。故我在市内均用3，上高速前才换为D。前段时间高速和市内60/40吧，但DVP经常堵车，估计也是油耗略为偏高的原因。

开Impala的朋友不多呢，还是懒得码字？
 

照理说Impala的综合性能绝不亚于Ford Taurus, 甚至不少方面还略胜一筹，只是外形没有Taurus那么抢眼。在“汽车杂志”所列的2004 TOP10 里，[URL=http://www.intellichoice.com/top10/Top10 ]Impala的多项指标在Full size同类型车里都名列前茅哩！
看Taurus的Group讨论得热火朝天，咱们这坛要加油啊！

the only complain for me is no tachmeter for the base model (3.4 engine).

For your reference

2001 IMPALA V6 3.4L 近8万公里.
刚拿回快2个多月了,目前没任何问题.,油耗没太仔细算过,大概11/100公里左右,估计冬天下雪加热风提高了油耗.很少跑高速,只在提车的时候跑400号从BARRIE回来,表现良好.
我的车是银色,不知道大家的是啥颜色啊.看到有黑的和深蓝色的感觉也非常好.

我不是impala车主，不过每次跑长途（往返2000公里）都是租full size，开过好几辆impala，也开过同级的interpid, taurus。总的感觉impala最好，没什么明显缺点，作为full size来说还挺省油。interpid油耗比impala大多了，别的方面没什么不好。我开过一辆2005的taurus，没啥优点，那么大个头车速度稍快就发飘，跟impala比差远了，不知道是调校的问题还是taurus就那样。

the handling is perfect. i test-drove several cars include malibu, taurus, intrigu, impala and chose impala finaly.

非常高兴有更多的朋友加入讨论！
 

ir和豆豆2005朋友，让我们一起来灌水，多灌水，勤灌水，使我们的爱车保养得更好，开起来更安全，坐起来更舒服，日子过起来更爽快！
谢谢HeelToe朋友对Impala的亲睐，祝你早日成Impala的owner.
我的车是银色，刚开始对她的外形不是很欣赏，只注重内在美，不过现在是丈母娘看女婿－－越看越喜欢，哈哈！

IMPALA 好车
 

我开过一阵子2004IMPALA， 好车，唯一觉的不习惯的是变速杆在方向盘后面，怪别扭的。

多用用就习惯了，这一变化可多出一个座位来了！虽然前排坐3个人略为有点挤，毕竟可以应应急。

that's my favorite :-)

不比不知道啊，昨天坐一朋友的Corolla，才发现比Impala差远了，尤其是减震性能。不知是否是旧车的缘故。
朋友们通常都用几号油？我一般用87号（参照手册）。

偶也用的87号油,cddx是全保吗?如果是全保这个价我忘买新车了.当初看好IMPALA的理由之一也是因其保费不高,维修便宜.我是三保MONNEX 120刀/月.

TO ir: that's my favorite too!
以前在国内开大捷龙的时候就很喜欢挡位在方向盘后,多出很多空间来.记得在TORONTO学车,第一次坐上教练的烤肉时,打完火后手就往方向盘下掏,教练瞪着眼看我"这不是美国车!"

我的保险包括：Liability, Accident Benefits,Uninsured Automobile, Direct Compensation-Property Damage, Loss or Damage, Family protection endorsement, Grand Touring Solution Endorsement, and Ltd waiver of depreciation. 我不知这是否是大家说的全保或三保，总之我要求按新车的常规保法，其中Optional Increased Accident Benefits未包括，投保时G2新牌一年不到。上月拿G牌后保费不降。
