  Great Daily Driver - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By GsMonteCarlo1 - May 13 - 12:50 am

  I had a 1995 Monte Carlo prior to this 2002. Chevy improved the Monte Carlo greatly from 95 model to the 2000+ models. There is more room, better stereo, and bigger trunk. The styling is a lot better as well. The only thing that Chevy messed up was the integrated computer system into the radio. This creates problem with aftermarket stereos and remote starters.

  By dalesrfan - July 29 - 11:33 pm

  I love my monte ss however there has been a lot of problems with wiring flickering lights, paint issues after only having the car for 3 years the paint was bubbling and now just peeling off. Gm told me they would do nothing, also catalytic converter problems and most recent oil pan completely rotted out.

  yellow is HOT - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By lettuce47 - February 18 - 10:00 am

  Was the first yellow Monte in Pa. Love the car and the performance off the line for a V-6. Sleek body design, and the gas mileage is outstanding. Have 22k on Monte now, with absolutely no problems. Love this car...

  By stillrollin - January 9 - 7:36 pm

  I have a Dale Earnhardt edition and have been pleased. 95k miles and still goin. other than routine maint.and cat.converter.Recently had to change the t-stat,but after 94k, no problem. Havent changed brakes or even wiper blades, dont know whats up with that, crazy. Peppy and still stops on a dime. I really dont drive aggressively. But nice to know I could when I need to. My girl loves the seat warmer. When shes washed and polished,well its Black!More than I expected.

  Its no Z34 - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By Chevyguy - August 28 - 7:10 pm

  I had to replace my 1994 Z34 and this was the closest thing Chevy had. Reliability has been good, performance is alright, handles good. It is an adequate replacement, but it is no Z34. I would recommend to someone that loved their Z34.

  No more GM cars for me! - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By Unhappy - February 6 - 11:36 am

  I was very disappointed by this car. Ive always bought North American, but no more. First, the interior console peeled and had to argue with dealership to replace. Now, paint is peeling in large chunks in wheel wells (hear this is common), taking side body paint with it. It is covered in paint "pops" (paint popping from underneath, not ships as dealer is trying to claim). I am a former paint chemist who knows coating failure when I see it. GM should be ashamed in this day and age of putting this quality on the road. That they do nothing about it says volumes about a car manuf. that I will no longer trust.

  Highs and Lows - 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
  By NASCAR3 - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I have had my montel carlo ss for one year now. I am pleased with the car. Im a big and tall guy and its very comfortable. I have taken several road trips in the car. I have had only one problem with the car in that the battery went dead after only one year. It was most likely just a lemon. Overall this is a great car to own. I have decided I wanted a truck and I am stuck with this car for awhile because I paid 27k for it and trade in value is 16k. Great car, just doesnt hold its value.
