1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 review from North America
"A keeper if you find a good one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belt had to be replaced at 50,000 miles.
Compressor for a/c was always problematic. Dealer in Bethesda Maryland refused to identify the problem. New York shop identified it *AFTER* warranty had expired.
Cheap plastic reminds me of my 1968 AMC Javelin (Loved that car too).
General comments?
Have had the car for 7 years and will keep it until it become unservicable, until I drive it into the ground.
3.4 liter engine provides so much power that it reminds me of the V8 pony car I had in high school.
Very comfortable seating and smooth ride. Handling a little soft, but an excellent highway cruiser. Engine a bit noisy. Good stereo, heat, power accessories.
