2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"Worst car ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well where do I start?
The manifold intake needed to be replaced, 8 of the valves got stuck with the lifters; that, along with the manifold gasket was over 1200.00 in repairs, not to mention the A/C compressor went out..
This car has been nothing but problems.
General comments?
It's fun to drive when it works, but when it breaks it really hurts.. I have a 1983 300d Mercedes that is 10 times more reliable than this car, and it's 20 plus years old.. I will never buy American again.
