1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SC review from North America
"Now I know why people go crazy over Chevrolet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
The choke does not engage.
The wire-spoke wheel covers rattle at low speed because of the lug anti-theft mechanism.
This car is moves faster than my 1980 Cutlass with the identical Chevy 305 motor.
This car not handle or feel anything like my Cutlass.
This car does not compare to any Oldsmobile I have owned even though it is billed as a similar vehicle.
