1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 review from North America
"Camaro like style and power at a KIA price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I've owned this car, nothing major has gone wrong.
The center console lid hinge has broken, but I have not fixed that. Frankly, it's much easier to find what I need in there with the lid out of the way.
I have noticed some hard shifts when shifting into drive from park or reverse, but it isn't all the time.
General comments?
I love this car!
It looks great, runs great, and has awesome get up and go power. When getting on the interstate, I don't have to worry about having enough distance to get up to speed, I just give it a little punch and I'm there.
The handling is great, sometimes the ride is a bit rough, but only on really bumpy roads and such.
Parts and accessories are not too expensive and are easy to find.
