1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"A reliable, fast, low-cost car to own..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just an alternator really.
Choke is bad on the carburettor - but that's cheap.
Could use a little work on the front suspension - but that's what happens when you drive on hellish PA potholes, oh I mean roads...
General comments?
This is a GREAT car - very reliable - always starts right up - EXTREMELY FAST (though doing this can cost some serious amounts of money in gas).
Interior is very comfortable.
The only negative comment I have is that the handling isn't great - but that's to be expected from a big car...
