1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 review from North America

I had three pesky vacuum leaks that affected the idle speed and caused the cruise control to fail. The first two were very minor costs and repaired easily, however, the last repair for that problem was more serious and cost me about $600. My ash-tray cover has broken and is difficult to open and close. No other real problems.

Of all the cars I've ever owned, this is by far my favorite. Its the first car I've ever paid off and actually kept. Despite 92K miles, the car is a dream. It rides very smoothly (even after two accidents that both took out the front pass. quarter), and to this day stills drives straight when letting go of the wheel on freeway. The steering is very tight as if made for high-performance. On curves, the car feels very light with little body sway. Has far as engine performance, it has surprisingly good power for a front-wheel-drive 6 cyl. Its actually a pleasure to drive if you like faster driving. Its particularly quick when accelerating from about 40-50 MPH (even without dropping into passing gear) which is great on the highway for necessary bursts of speed. The interior is nice and comfortable; the gauges are visually pleasant and easy to read (comes with a tach also!) ; the climate control is extreme (very hot heat/very cold A/C) ; the trunk has a ton of space in it. On the down-side, you have to watch for the truck lid, as the spoiler is too heavy for the springs and it will come crashing down on your head if you're not careful; the horn is hard to find; the fuses are difficult to locate; and finally, its too easy to accidently leave the dome and map lights on. All-in-all, I just LOVE this car. It looks and feels great.
