  Monte Carlo Rocks! - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By jg1fan - December 4 - 3:36 pm

  I bought the yellow competition package Monte as it caught my eye and I couldnt pass it up! I loved this car! Everything was well placed and within reach. My only complaint is the small cupholder in front of the shifter. I was always spilling something. I traded this in for a minivan as I was tired of getting the kids in and out of their carseats in the back seat. Now I am kicking myself and going to get a 2003 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo. If you want the best car youve ever owned, buy a Monte! Chevy Rocks!

  GOOD BUT NOT GREAT - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By MR.G - October 23 - 12:53 am

  Bought car used with 34000 miles.First thing i did was,replace front rotors and brake pads,second thing i did was flush the GM antifreeze from engine and went back with regular green anti freeze.I did this because the GM antifreeze will damage the cooling parts in engine and has a gum building inside cooling system.The third thing I did was replace the turn signal device on the steering column.The original broke one night and I could not dim my headlights.Cost was over $500.00.

  By brennaflower - September 25 - 8:50 am

  I love it! I have no complaints, I am proud of my purchase. Today I bought $300 worth of groceries and got all of them in the trunk! I also have a Camaro and I love it, but this car is much better for me to drive theres plenty of room for the kids, it is great!

  "Competition Yellow" paint competed w/my wallet - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By dscarchick - September 9 - 9:46 am

  I bought my yellow Monte Carlo SS used in 2007 and owned it until 2012 when I threw it on my bankruptcy with only 3 payments left (I had good reasons). When I 1st bought the car it was a blast! so much fun to drive, so much get up n go, so roomy for being a 2 door car, decent gas for a supercharged V6 etc. Then the issues started. I went through 3 catalytic converters which were NOT covered by warranty and there was no explanation as to why they kept going out. Then I had issue after issue with the cooling system. A radiator, 2 temp sensors, 2 cooling fans, water pump, hoses later, it STILL ran hot. Then driving home one day I heard a POP and there went 3rd gear. This car was unreliable...

  My first car! - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By btown_jim - September 3 - 11:50 pm

  My dad bought the 02 MC SS in bright red for me with 74k miles. had it for half a year now and still love it! handles beautifully, and has some power in the 3800cc engine!! trust me, this car can really book on the highways. interior feels like youre sitting on a really comfy couch, and i love the dual zone climate control. sound system is great too! my friends all love my car. theyre always complimenting how its fast and attention-grabbing. my friend has an 02 MC LS and everyone prefers mine to his, so only look for SS when buying. after 76k still no problems! I plan to have this car for a long time to come.

  Just a Review - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By Just a rateing - July 21 - 8:36 am

  Love it. Looks great. Drives great. Great for maintenance costs. My only complaint: Its not a V8. 3800 series II motor is great for horsepower but it lacks the low end torque of a V8.

  The Fast and the Luxurious - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By christophero1973 - July 4 - 5:50 am

  A very good balance of performance and luxury. Unfortunately my catalytic converter clogged, shot-up my EGR pipe and melted my intake manifold. Completly covered by the warrenty. Otherwise, very, very reliable. And the aftermarket is making some very affordable, as well as reliable go-fast goodies(!) for this 3800 engine.

  Monte - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By RJOU1 - May 16 - 8:40 am

  I purchased a Monte Carlo When GM offered 0,0. What a deal. The car has been good so far. Not exceptional, but good. The only complaint I really have, is that it needs more power(should have gotten the SS). The interior is roomy and practical. I got a fair amount of equipment, including On-Star, which I think is great. Do I think this is the best car out there? no, but for the money, and the fact that its an American car make it a great choice.

  Great to drive - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By CharlesBarton - May 7 - 10:00 am

  Owned since the end of Jan. and have loved every minute of it. Turns alot heads and lots of great compliments.The silver color is perfect out here in Arizona and gets great milage both in town driving and out on the road. It was better driver than the Grand Prix but would have loved to get more power under the hood. And the sound system needs no upgrades.
