1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"This car is sporty and has good power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver side switch for the passenger side window went out.
The hinge for the center counsel is broken.
The clear coat on the spoiler is starting to peel away.
The transmission is starting to go now at 157,000 miles.
I've had to replace the serpentine belt once.
General comments?
I like the factory sound system. It has taken a lot of abuse and still works just fine.
I love the look of the car, but I would get it painted a different color if I could because everyone seems to have a red one.
I definitely like it a lot better than my last car and would buy a newer one in the future.
