1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo review from North America
"Some are lemons, some are machines"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intake manifold gasket went out at 125,000 miles.
Anti-lock brakes went out at 85,000 miles, but brakes work fine.
Rear end of the car is getting hints of rust.
General comments?
This car has been very reliable since I have gotten it.
I test drove a 2002 Sunfire with 24,000 miles on it, and it started rougher than my car. My car also handled better.
I replaced the brakes & front tires at 120,000 miles.
The car was worth the money.
