Great gas mileage for a 20 year old vehicle and Reliable Car
The Monte Carlo is a very reliable car it has 214,012 miles and the only major issue was transmission which is normal for a car with that many miles. The air condition did go out, but that again was over 150,000 miles. The car rides very nice and the gas mileage is still awesome 25 mpg even over 200,000 miles. I like the sunroof and it has not had any problems even though the car is 20 years old. I would buy another Monte Carlo if still being made by Chevy.

Reliable dependable beautiful and the name Chevy is the heartbeat of America.
The car's body is very secure and can take some bumps and bruises not saying that my car has I've just seen some that have been able to take a lot of accidents, the motor itself last long is good strong powerful easy to work on and comfort is excellent seats firm and steady. Speed is pretty good it stays up is consistent can run with another car on the highway or Street. The aerodynamic design is beautiful I'm a fan of Chevy already because it has been a pace car a couple of times on the models that I enjoy such as Corvette, Monte Carlo. It has been very reliable has helped me to get two children to the hospital many birthdays, Hot outside cool temperatures inside this perfectly built machine.

Beautiful body style. Fast engine, reliable car.
Old, lot of miles. Little issue and great running. Also a very beautiful color, gas mileage is not to my liking though. I drive this car everywhere and it really does the job. Also great for the tall drivers out there who need a lot of legroom. Back seat is also an ok size

Monte Carlo ss-sharp looking vehicle white with a red racing stripe!
It has heated seats for comfort, cruise control, automatic headlights, and has a t top! It gets great mileage and looks sharp on the road, the tires perform in all road conditions! The only bad problem with it so far is an oil leak that I had to get repaired but now seems to of happened again so very upset for that! Otherwise love, love my car and would get another next time I need a car!

Monte Carlo. Good looking year. Sunroof is nice.
The monte Carlo drives very well. The body style on that year is a good-looking year. The pep the motor has is a good amount. I love my sunroof that this vehicle has. The color of the vehicle is very pretty. I recommend this year of the monte Carlo to anyone.

The vehicle is very sporty, when it was new it must of been really nice.
The car is very sporty, it is getting some age on it and it costs a lot to keep it running. The car is good on gas, and when it was new was a fine vehicle. The vehicle has heated leathers seat, goes well in the snow, but it sets really low to the ground which is bad trying to get out of.

The silver Chevy Carlo cope.
It is a nice mid sized car and fits everyone comfy, it is silver and a cute style and it is been pretty good on gas and the drive on it is pretty smooth. I have a aftermarket radio in it and the speakers are also aftermarket and the seats are also comfy.

It's been around almost as long as I've been alive.
Radiator leak, transmission issues, driver seat doesn't adjust, sensors going out, overheats a lot. The passenger side window doesn't go up that well. The doors retain water when it rains, causing it to flood into floor of the car. It overheats often. The gas mileage is pretty okay though.
accountCircle Maggie E
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS coupe.
The car has its problems, oil leaks, motor mount is broken, and the shift solenoid is going bad. Hard shifting occasionally if it overheats. Other than that, it is a decent car. Have had it for almost 20 years and still going today. Would recommend for a first car, only thing I'm not crazy about is the space in the back. Difficult to get a baby in and out in a coupe.

It is got high miles on it but gets you where your needing to go.
I like that it is comfortable to ride in and drives good in the snow and rain. I dislike it having minor repairs needing fixed and the windows leak water when it rains.
accountCircle Kay S
It is definitely rusty but it is trusty.
It is a very nice first car. It is definitely 18 years old and now it just gets me to point A to point B. Very great car! I have had it for 4 years now and just letting it push me through until I can afford a new one. Definitely has a funny feature of how my blinkers do not work unless I put my hazards on.
accountCircle Joel W
It's fairly easy to work on, but the engine runs hot and the gas mileage isn't the greatest (18-20 mpg).
I have had several larger issues with the vehicle. The main issue involves the vehicle overheating. The second is an issue with the fan/blower motor and the final issue involves the end links breaking within months of each other. Overall, it's a good car that gets me to work and home.
accountCircle Lana F
Good, reliable automobile.
This car is great on gas, which is the sole reason that it is my primary vehicle. Currently has over 200k miles. It has had only a few mechanical problems. However, It has had a lot of small issues, I.e. Door locks, power window switch, A/C fan switch. Comfortable to drive. Reliable.

This is my dream car. She’s got a lot of miles on her but she handles beautifully. Acceleration is smooth and fast. There are some small things wrong with her. The radio fades in and out and it only blows hot air. Cruise control doesn’t work. All things that can be fixed easily.

It was my dream car. Took some time but I finally got it.
It is been great through the years, hardly ever have a problem with it. Love everything about it except maybe the color.
