1996 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2 Dr Z34 Coupe Review
ProsFast Solid built car ConsGas Mileage, Motors hard to work on
55
My Monte — Well i bought it second hand It had 180k when i got 2months ago and not it has 195k Its got good acceleration thanks to a 3.4L DOHC v6, it has 4wheel disc brakes and 16" aluminum rims with Sumic tires. Its needed minor repairs like Plugs and plug wires and a starter. Its bright red nice z34 body kit (upgrading eventually) with a fully loaded all leather interior, power everything(windows,locks, power adjustable seats).I get around 25mpg i know its not much but its got a big tank (64L i think) so i cans till go pretty far on a tank. and Yes its very fun to drive with that 215 Hp. I'd recommend it to certain people but not others cuz some cant handle her eh b'y LOL

ProsLots of power, sporty look, interior quality good. ConsBasic maintenance hard to perform -- spark plugs hidden under cowling at rear of engine, require intake manifold removal to access back 3 plugs.

Tire-smoking Power And Supermodel Looks — The 1996 Chevy Monte Carlo Z-34 is a racy, NASCAR-inspired two-door sport coupe. The vehicle has ample power from the 3.4L engine, and the available exterior and interior accessory options make for a very personalized vehicle. The LS coupe came with a 3.1L V-6 engine, which is known for blowing head gaskets (same engine as the Chevy Cavalier). The Z-34 is an excellent powerhouse which is hard to work on, based on how it is sandwiched into the engine compartment, but which on the whole will not spend too much time being worked on anyway, as it is a driver, not a trailer queen. The interior on these is large enough that a tall guy can drive the car comfortably (a problem for me with newer cars). This is what drew me to the vehicle.

Proshas a nice kick to it, nice look for a 90s car, runs very efficiently and smoothly Consrust, covered up

Love It — it's my baby, my first car. Granted it's an older car but it runs very well for its age. It's needed very few repairs and they were cheap. No unwanted noise. I like the overall look of the car, esp. the tint (: gas mileage is what is expected, and it's a nice car to drive overall because you really don't see many of these anymore... especially this well-taken-care-of.

Great Car — Great Car. I havent had a problem with it since ive had it. Great on gas, cheap parts, is able to go when floored in cases. Since it is a older car it needs struts for a comfort ride. Hope this car lasts for many years. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Proshas the same styling as the lumina, so parts are abundant. large interior room, and loads of luxury features9that were not standard in 1996) has buttons on the steering wheel... and the same stereo as the 2001 GMC sierra lol Consit has the same styling as the lumina, and the car has a rev limiter. long front & rear overhang, and long wheelbase... not the montecarlo that i expected to drive

My Mothers Car — average performance, has a rev limiter of 4000, and the interior is quite large. very big car as well, and the 3.4l is a touch noisy for the usage of it. (even though i know it is a Z34) quite slow of the start, but grabs after 2000 rpm, and picks up quicker... not the best rendition of the famed montecarlo, but its a car... | ||

Really Good Car — overall its a really good car wish they had a 5 spd or 6 spd auto in these back then other than that no negatives. it has a decent amount of power when needed and it handles corners pretty good and the front seats are really comfortable Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Ok — This vehicle does ok on MPG but lacks the horse power. Other than it needs more horse power it's a very good and reliable vehicle. The ride is nice and smooth. At high speed it might need to be a little tighter. It like to start floating at about 110 MPA. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Good For The Money — First new car I owned after graduating from college. Was a MC fan since I owned a '79 MC and my dad owned/owns several others ('72, '96, '00, '06). Bad part about the car - the gaskets leaked and went out about 65K miles. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
