1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"Awesome reliable transportation with Excellent gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, nothing that is really unexpected for a 9 year old car. However when I got it, a new heater core had to be installed.
General comments?
This car has great power for such a little engine on such a big sized car.
Interior is probably one of the most comfortable 2 door car interiors I have ever traveled in.
This particular Monte Carlo has run through a HUGE puddle of water and the custom air intake caused it to take in water to the engine. However we flushed the the cylinders, changed the oil, put on 2 new spark plugs, and drained the gas tank, and the car came right out of it and has ran better than ever.
