I saw a black Impala SS back in 1996 and since that time I could not stop thinking about it. I knew that one day I would have to own an Impala. My dream came true about a few weeks ago.

After a few months I finally managed to scrape enough money together to get my own sporty Impala SS. The color is Dark Green with Gray Metallica all over it and it only has about 69k miles on it. The dealership I bought it from was about 80 miles away but boy was the trip worth it.

The Impala SS has over 200 HP, so I didn't really need to modify it. The only changes I made to it was a cold air induction upgrade. This allows me to easily over take cars on the free way. One time I ended up overtaking a third generation vette which tried to pull away.

Yes I like this car, yes this car is fast but is it really that important to anyone? For people looking to buy this car, they want to know the negatives so that is what this review will be about. Just remember I do really love this car.

The Impala Squeaks and it is a known problem so there is no denying it. This does not mean the Impala has a serious problem. The problem really is that it is really annoying. Some people have come up with ways to fix it or make the squeaks a little less loud.

What I will be talking about though is the things I dislike about this car. Why? Because that is what all buyers want to hear about.

You can get a performance increase by K and N for about 150 dollars and this will boost your Impala's horsepower by 26. Another thing is this is a car, and as all cars do it has it's own problems. These problems are different for each cars.

Some cars are bad at cooling their engines, while other's water pumps are bad. A few cars even have defects from the factories. Considering all these and the fact that Automakers try hard to fix these problems, the Impala SS is a great vehicle to own.
