1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"Dependable, even when smashed!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the time I had the car, besides regular maintenance, nothing more had to be done with the car.
Unfortunately (and I had to learn this the hard way) this is commonly called a crumple car by tow men. In even the slightest of bumps or most minor of accidents, there is a lot of structural and cosmetic work that has to be done.
General comments?
The reason I no longer have this car is because my boyfriend crashed it into a railroad pole while when attempting to stop over new snow. The front end was shaped like a "V". But we started just for fun in -5 degree weather, with the radiator smashed into the engine, and it still STARTED!!!
Although it doesn't sound like it, this car handles great with new tires. he he.
This car is comfortable and easy to drive, I just wish it had more torque.
