1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau review from North America
"A lot of power, a lot of reliability, not a lot of price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious, the car is the best built vehicle I have seen ever had the pleasure of owning! I have replaced a couple of belts, and a couple of seals, but other than that, this car is in perfect running order.
General comments?
These cars are awesome! They are built to last, and I guarantee this will outlast any Honda or Toyota, Hell it already has outlasted most. The car handles like a dream, it is unbeleivably powerful, hell you can smoke the tires in any gear, even in reverse! The car has some very likeable lines, and I think that the 3rd Gen Monte's are my Fav!
