This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Spacious interior, low sticker price, strong V6 in SS models.
Cons:
  • Mediocre performance, bland interior with cheap materials, no passenger side-impact airbag.

  • 2003 Competition Yellow SS ,my dream car - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
    By -

    When I first saw a Yellow Monte, I couldnt wait for my lease with my 2001 Red Impala to be over.I put a Yellow Monte on my desktop till I bought one. The kids thought I was alittle obsessed with it!Well they took back the Impala 7 months early! Now I have my baby! I Love driving it, 13,000 miles in 9 months. Sometimes Im amazed at how many compliments I get on my car. Its a great car:)

    I have searched long and hard for the right vehicle, finnaly I found it! This car is awesome, especially since i am a big man, I wanted a vehicle big enough to sit in and not have my knees in my chest. Bingo! The monte carlo does just that. I have all the room i need, and the car performs very well. I am impressed. I hope that others will be able to enjoy theirs as much. It has also been awesome with gas mileage and with mechanical performance. Just routine maintenance and this baby will roll for a long time to come.

    Great vehicle for purchase price. Great gas mileage! No issues with performance. Graduating to higher end vehicle. Would be a good starter car for a teenage driver.

    I think the dealer trapped me :) My van needed to go in for service, and they gave me a 03 Monte for my rental! Thats all she wrote! I had to own one, so I made the purchace. Its handling for a car its size is incredible! Its performance is outstanding! The style is head turning! Its just an overall great car!

  • SS Rules - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
    By -

    This is the first SS I have purchased since 1988. I love the new style and lucked out on getting a new Jeff Gordon edition even though the 04,s were out. I previously had a pontiac Grand Prix GT, which I enjoyed, but they no longer make in a 2 door, so I returned to Chevy

  • My toy - 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
    By -

    Went into dealer to buy a new pick-up. When I saw the Black Monte Carlo on the floor I just had to have it. I have had it for a month now and am very pleased. Except for the creaking rear window. When it is cold outside and you hit a bump the window creaks. The dealer says the rear windshield was improperly installed at the factory. They did the prescribed maint. but it still creaks. Tomorrow they will try again.
