#6 of 11 Re: 2009 3.9L vs 2008/2007 3.9L with AFM [cnw] by sstvo Aug 08, 2009 (7:47 pm)
Replying to: cnw (May 18, 2009 5:06 pm) I have a 2009 LTZ with about 9500 miles and still only get 26 mpg on hwy doing 60-65 with cruise on most of time. With my style of driving, I also have a 2000 3.4 Impala with 192000 miles and I still get 30-31 mpg on the hwy and 20-22 in all city driving. I was hoping the 3.9 would perform much better than this. Maybe 29-30.
#7 of 11 Wind draft noise in 2009 impala by firstnewchevy1 Aug 19, 2009 (1:07 pm)
A month ago I purchased a new 2009 Impala LT1 a month ago. Since I brought it home I have endured what I describe as wind noise whenever I go 35-45 mph. If it's the least bit windy it's worse. There is a service bulletin with this issue. I had it in the body shop today. The body shop manager performed all the adjustments even pulled off the mirrors. The noise still exists. I would describe is more of a wind drafting issue coming across the car. Has anyone else had this problem?? What did you do to fix it. This is my first new car at 52. I really want to be totally satisfied with the car. It's wonderful to drive just noisy, Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, Rhonda Replies to this message: cnw (Aug 25, 2009 4:05 pm) priggly (Aug 26, 2009 8:54 pm) firstnewchevy1 (Aug 28, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 19, 2009 1:07 pm) I have had a 2006 and now have a 2009, neither of which have had any appreciable wind noise. They seem very quiet to me. A suggestion: ask the dealership if they will let you drive another 2009 Impala for comparison purposes. It will help establish a baseline for discussion with the service manager. I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction. Obviously, I have been very satisfied with my Impalas. Clark

Replying to: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 19, 2009 1:07 pm) I own a 2006 Impala SS and it is one of the quietest cars I have ever owned. There is no road noise at 70 mph. It is one of the reasons I bought the car. You must have gotten a lemon.   Do you drive with your windows open or the sunroof open? Replies to this message: firstnewchevy1 (Aug 28, 2009 8:22 am)

Replying to: priggly (Aug 26, 2009 8:54 pm) Thanks for your help. I would describe it as a wind rushing noise. Of course my husband says to turn up the radio or air conditioner. I'm pretty sure that the windows are sealed. It does not have a sunroof and I do not drive with the windows down for the most part.
#11 of 11 2009 Impala - Active Fuel Management or not by hotchkiss1 Oct 26, 2009 (11:29 am)
I just purchased a used 2009 Impala, the cover on the engine says it has Active Fuel Management but there is no 6/3 cyl display. Is there an easy way to find out if it really has it?
