Beautiful looking, too many little problems for the price they cost
Warped routers every 20,000 Km. Too heavy a car for the braking system.
On star is faulty.
Ignition problems at 100,000. You put in the key and nothing happens. If you wait approx 15 minutes and try again, it will usually start.
Very luxurious and comfortable interior.

Luxuriously fast
The only problem I have had is with the rotors warping. They have been turned 3 times and finally were replaced by the dealer. (Under warranty)
I love this car. It runs so well.
Corners wonderfully.
Handles great.
The interior is roomy and comfortable, Plush seats.

Unless you need four doors, get one!
Nothing Has gone wrong. This car has worked flawlessly.
I've driven and owned a lot of different vehicles, but my '02 Monte SS is by far the best I've driven. It's fast, responsive, comfortable, and a ton of fun to drive with the premium sound system cranked. I never would have guessed getting this kind of driving experience out of a front wheel drive car with a V6. Speaking of which, it handles great on snow packed roads too. This car would have smoked my '76 and '82 V8 Monte. I can't say enough. Oh, and get the Black!!

Black Beauty
The wiper motor broke the first day of ownership, but was under a recall anyway. Nothing else has gone wrong with the car.
I love this car!
It corners beautifully and is a real head turner!
It has a beautiful black glossy finish that you can see yourself in.
Really snarls when it accelerates also.
Very, very fast!
Only main complaint was the word Monte Carlo on the trunk and sides was black to match the car. But the letters SS were in red, so I bought new MonteCarlo signs that were red so it would stand out.

I very much agree with this person. I very much like my Monte Carlo also!
I just got my SS and it is Great! Black on black is very sharp. But I agree about the black emblem on the black car. How do I get a red Monte Carlo emblem to match the SS emblem?
I own a 2002 Monte Carlo too, and I love everything about this car. I wouldn't need anything more than what it has.
A yellow speedster that is reliable and good looking
Nothing has gone wrong with the engine.
The cigarette lighter didn't work when car was purchased, but was repaired soon after discovered.
Car has stalled because of water in gasoline, car only takes expensive gasoline.
Another bad part is everyone can see the car including cops, and the car is hard to hide.
This car is a dream, a person can drive 70 MPH in the snow and the car would not miss a beat, if the traction control is on then the driver cannot lose control of the car, if the traction control is off, the driver can do a major burn-out.
This car is good for taking long trips in because you can't feel a bump in the road and the seats are very comfortable.
This yellow speedster will go anywhere and still be styling and profiling.
I have heard so many compliments on this car, it is unreal. When a go to a store or go anywhere there are always people compliments me on how good my car looks.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

"Warped routers every 20,000 Km".
Warped rotors are caused by improper torquing of the lug nuts. Talk to whomever last played with your tires! It is definitely not the car's fault!
It's 90 ft/pounds, be sure to torque in a star pattern!
"Too heavy a car for the braking system".
No way. The four wheel discs are more than adequate to bring this car to a stop. For the car's size, it is actually very light!!
"On star is faulty".
Never had a problem with any Onstar. Worked places my regular cell phone would have no signal.
"Ignition problems at 100,000".
Battery is faulty? Wire corroded? This happens after 100,000k on any car!
