1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 review from North America
"Unfortunately, I would not buy another one of these cars."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First of all my car was great, I enjoyed it. Then all of a sudden I hear this loud squealing noise coming from the engine. Take it in, my water pump was on the verge of going out. Fine, so I fix it.
I get my car back and the timing belt goes out. Now I have this leak; not just a normal leak, I have another piece of my engine rubbing against my oil filter, so I have to put oil in my car every 3-4 weeks. The leak is not just a little leak; it leaks as if it's gushing out.
General comments?
It seems as if this car never stops. I fix a problem and another one comes running. My cousin has a 98 Monte and his transmission went out. He had to pay more than the car was even worth to fix it.
