| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | Excellent value for what you get. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | Bought the vehicle used in Sept2009 on a 2008 model for $15,000. Price seemed great in comparison to what the asking price was in other places for a lesser model (LT). Dealer had put a set of OEM Goodyears on it, and did a good job with detailing it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | Best value for equipment/options out there. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | Usually one of more affordable family sedans available. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | Only pay $174 a month. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic FWD | I was looking at Charger, but a less coparably equipted charger was thousands more. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Cheapest new car I could find, cheaper than a brand new base model Hyundai Accent. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | This car is a bang for buck performance car. You will not find a better performer for the price. You can often get one out the door for not much more than 20k, and sometimes less... |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | Less fashionable and thus less expensive than its competitors. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | 0% interest, no down |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | low payment |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | low price |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD | While allowing for the difference between compact and sub-compact ratings, the Fiesta had an overall better pricepoint in the various trim levels than Cobalt. In all honesty Cobalt was a close second but the pricing is what broke the deal on getting on |

first class, no flaws found |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Chevrolet Impala: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Too much plastic in the interior - doors and dash. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Body leaked on drivers side since day one. Exhaust makes noise when the bottom of the car gets wet in the rain as driving through a puddle. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Seat fabric is already wearing thin, the belts have begun to fray and the plastic molding around the seat belt fastener is cracking and falling apart. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
it seems to cost a fortune to keep this car on the road |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 3.4L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Materials looked and felt cheap. The amount of repairs, replacing and reattaching of int. and ext. pieces was uncalled for. Ext. trim would fade quickly. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
I find the general fit and finish to be good, but some of the materials used are not. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
As noted above:poor rotors and suspension parts. Also the leather interior is very hard to keep clean and the steering wheel material is cracked and peeling off. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 155-horsepower 2.2L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
4 trips back to the dealer for warranty repairs. Door seal, steering column, gear shifter, front suspension bushes. 1 year into owning/driving and various little rattles and vibration noises are appearing. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 148-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
There is a lot of obvoius cost-cutting in the interior materials and workmanship. It feels cheap, especially the shift knob and steering wheel. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 171-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
While I think the overall look of the interior is good the material used are too hard to the touch. Also the plastic that surrounds the window switch gear is easily scratched. Lastly the electric tape they use to wrap the rearview mirror wires is a joke |
