2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"The absolute best car choice I've ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the starter at 85000 miles.
That is all it has been in for.
However there is a semi-loud noise that seems to come from the front tires. I had my mechanic look at it and he couldn't find anything wrong. It seems to be getting louder the longer I have it.
Many little power equipment problems. Nothing serious though.
My bright red paint seems to be fading on the front end.
General comments?
This is one of the best cars I have ever owned (and I've had 29 cars)!
I love the way it looks! The body has so many distinctive lines and shapes everywhere you look.
My interior is black, which I don't care for. But it is so comfortable and the heated seats are great in the winter. My car has every opt you can think of (except the fuel thirsty 3.8 L)! I just love spending as much time as possible in it.
Except the loud front end problem, this car also drives great! It rides like a luxury car, but still looks so sporty.
I was nervous to trade in my dead reliable Mazda for a GM model considering their reputation. However this car and been just as reliable (even more so!) and a thousand times more fun then the old Mazda! My next car will be an Impala, so I can have all these good qualities with the two extra doors!
