2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS review from North America
"This car is awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering hose clamp came loose around 5000 miles. This was under recall and was fixed within a few hours by the dealer.
General comments?
Its about time GM started putting V8s back into cars. The Engine runs great and gets me an average of 23.5mpg combined city/highway. I put over 20,000 miles on it in the first year and I have to say it is very comfortable for cross country driving. It has lots of storage capacity and more than enough power to for regular and aggressive driving. The car handles great at all speeds (even over 100mph) and rides like a luxury car. The dash is really open and clean looking. I would definitely buy another one, but this one looks like it will probably last me for at least 8 or 9 years.
