Overview & Reviews

The Monte Carlo receives only minor changes for the 2003 model year. The base LS model has been upgraded with standard four-wheel disc brakes, traction control and remote keyless entry. Both the LS and SS models sport newly styled wheels, four new exterior colors and the option of adding XM Satellite Radio.

• Spacious interior, low sticker price, strong V6 in SS models.

• Mediocre performance, bland interior with cheap materials, no passenger side-impact airbag.

  My Last Chevy - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By Tim Little - September 28 - 11:26 am

  Fell in love with the Montes after owning a 98. But now I am ready for a divorce. Paint is flaking off, sunroof no longer works, head light sockets keep melting, random rattling sounds under the car, bad a/c unit and broken seatbelt covers. And what did Chevy do about it when I called them? They gave me a survey about my Chevy ownership history and then told me that I was out of luck, that the paint problem was because of living in New England. Since I dont plan on moving, I apparently am discluded from owning any more Chevys. Of course, after they told me I was on my own with all the other issues, that was the last straw, and I babied this car! Horrible trade in value.

  Low Rider - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By Low Rider - April 29 - 4:50 am

  I do love this car! Glad to see lots of others do too. Bought used, 2 months now. It is definitely a low rider. I felt bamboozled at the car lot where I purchased it. I dont think they had sold a car in days. Paid 8,900. Not sure it was well kept, all 4 tires are different brands. Lights go on and off. Knocks if higher octane gas is not used. Only bad thing to say that it sits so low, when you pull out of a parking spot with huge vehicles on both sides you cant see a thing. Also, I have very short legs and have to sit very close to steering wheel. I had a Kia and loved it but I hit a pole, didnt damage the body but with the poorly made unibody (all one piece)it was warped & totaled.

  Love the Monte SS - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By cyanidekid - April 12 - 5:26 am

  Bought the car off craigslist through a private party without even hearing it run. It had 45,000 miles on it. I rented a car trailer from uhaul and drove 2 hrs to pick the car up. It is a (Competition Yellow) 2003 Limited Edition SS w/ the High Sport appearance package, fully loaded. The car now has 138,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. I havent had to put any $$ into it besides regular maintenance and it gets excellent gas mileage for its size. Its big enough to fit 5 comfortably and the trunk is HUGE! The Monte Carlo is definitely sexy and demands attention on the roads, but its not a "race" car... unless you want to spend the extra $$ for the modifications.

  Great car - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By ed - March 20 - 2:23 am

  I dont know why GM never promoted this car.The fuel economy 20 city and 32 highway plus the fun to drive aspect make this car a much better value than the so called economy cars. I am 62 " 250 lbs,the two door feature of this model make it so easy to get in and out of.I love it.

  Fun car "But" - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By jdbca - February 20 - 10:00 am

  Love the car but hate the service from the local dealers. The front rotors have warped twice in a year. Service department seems to think this is not a warrantee situation.

  By MistyJ - February 8 - 2:00 am

  My Monte Carlo is the best thing I have ever bought. Since I was a little kid, I have always wanted one. My dream came true, and I have nothing but good things to say about the car. Its a guy magnet at Nascar Races.
