1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"American muscle car reborn... Almost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a bad ball joint when I bought it with 44,000 miles.
$100 to fix the ball joint.
My car dropped a lifter and blow the motor up at only 56,000 miles.
Warranty covered the damage.
While they were replacing my motor they also said, that I needed a new transmission.
Also, covered by warranty.
General comments?
The car was fast and handled great. Though the speed limiter was annoying.
The interior was nice, all the controls were within easy reach of the driver. But, it only had one cup holder. I think that a car made to have 5 people in it would come with more.
