1979 Chevrolet Monza review from North America
"A one person car that needs improvements"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the gasoline tank because of a leak. While it was not too costly, it was inconvenient.
General comments?
I was aware of the car being well maintained, despite the highway miles.
The car sat too low to the ground and with the car having bucket seats, it made it hard for those trying to exit the car.
The cabin was very small. Since the shift was on the floor between the seats, there was little leg room for the driver or the passenger in the front seat.
Even if the front seat was moved forward, the passenger in the rear seat was limited in their movement.
The trunk space was approximately 10" high, so groceries had to laid on their side or placed in the back seat.
The steering column had a locking system for the ignition key, and if you did not press the button, you could not release the key.
This is a car only made for one person, not a couple or a family. There are better cars than this.
