1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"This car is not worth taking a test drive in"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine blew at 127,000 kilometres, which costs 6000 dollars Canadian to fix.
The brakes are not long lasting.
The mounts for the shocks went at 100,000 kilometres.
Radiator hoses blew frequently.
General comments?
This car was a money pit. I would not suggest that anyone buy a 1995 Monte Carlo. The car rides real rough and is not the greatest for handling. There is very little acceleration power, although when it finally gets going it really moves.
The car looks nice from the outside, but on the inside it is very bleak. The whole interior is plan grey. The stereo in the Monte Carlo LS is not good at all. When the music gets to a certain volume you can here rattling from loose parts.
The engine is difficult to work on. Everything on the engine seems to tucked way down inside.
