1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo review from North America
"A good first car for me and I will always remember it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is twenty years old. I replaced the springs, the shocks, and the bushings.
It rides a lot better now that I have completed those re-installments.
Other wear includes obvious ones: headliner is down, no a/c, etc.
General comments?
It's a fun car. It is heavy, but it travels well when going straight.
It sounds really good with the dual exhaust it has and gets you down the road pretty quick if you want it too.
It is not good on gas, but this is what I say to that. "If it's bad on gas, it better be fast."
The tires like to move before the car does if you know what I mean.
It is definitely a car that girls that you know will want to ride in.
It is a good piece of history from Chevrolet and will be considered a classic.
Many have said it is the best era of the Monte Carlos and I have to agree with that opinion.
