1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"This is the nicest looking, but is terrible to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 40,000 miles
Replaced all fuel injectors at 45,000 miles and have to it again at 89,000 miles and I have always put premium gas in the car.
Many problems with breaks and break lines.
Sometimes the car won't start and no one can figure out why.
Lights and blinkers have to be replaced, they malfunctioned.
The alternator needed to be replaced along with the battery.
The cars computer box needed to be replaced.
General comments?
For it's performance it gets great gas mileage.
It handles very well.
And it's fun to zip around in.
