Nov23,2011 - 242,000 miles and still the best car I ever owned. Bought my brand new Blue SS in 2004, today Oct 09 I have 174,000. So far its been the best and most reliable car I ever owned in my life. Yea ... it could have used more power, but the gas mileage would have suffered, And yes it could have been rear wheel drive, but would it have got me home during a snow storm? The best part ... best heated leather seats ever made! I travel for my job and I choose to drive then to fly and this is first class all the way!

I bought this car new. And from day one, it was a blast to drive. Acceleration is smooth and linear. When the supercharger kicks in, it feels like you are being catapulted from behind. Speed ceases to go beyond the indicated 112 mph (due to the limiter), but the car feels composed and solid at speed. The supercharger maintains speed easily with the cruise control engaged. I see the complaints about gas mileage, but using synthetic oil in my beast since the first oil change, I got better than 28 mpg highway driving with speeds averaging 70 or more. I easily got 30 mpg driving sensibly (which admittedly, is hard to do). So I have ZERO complaints about gas mileage. I'll take zero to sixty in under seven seconds and nearly 30 mpg any day. And though it isn't the prettiest car (nor the fastest) on the street, mine always draws compliments. Fit and finish is better than expected for a Chevy. Perhaps the Canadians can teach the Yanks a thing or two about quality. Nevertheless, very few demons have shown their faces in my SS. The tire pressure monitor had a hiccup in the first 2000 miles, and the moonroof decided not to cooperate at approximately 15,000 miles, sticking partially open. But Chevy fixed everything under warranty and the only costs incurred in the first 2 years of ownership were the typical oil changes and tire rotations you would expect. Nothing out of the ordinary. I traded this car after 2 years and 36,000 miles. And I still miss this car. I had no regrets buying this car and would have bought another, had Chevy continued to build them. But no. Only used Montes are now available. With any luck, you can find a well cared for supercharged model that will give you loads of fun miles as mine did.

this car is one of the best built cars, it looks great, good power, and great mileage for such a big powerful car. and has tons of space inside chevy made a big mistake discontinuing this car hope they bring it back

This car has never failed me once, little things here and there but nothing mechanically wrong. It has some style to it but lacks the power off the supercharged SS. It does however have a lot of the same options as the supercharged SS which is a huge plus. Overall this is a great car for anyone who wants a sporty V6 with some very decent options for the year.

The car is just absolutely beautiful! Just by looking at it, you wouldn't think it was powerful, but it is EXTREMELY powerful! The car is just so fun to drive!! Not only is the car powerful, but the gas mileage is GREAT!!

I loved the overall beauty of this car and everything it stood for. It would get it to great speeds and you would hear the engine roar. This car most definitely described all American Muscle. Dale collaborated with GM and only made 3,333 of the sweet babies.

This car has been a great one. Only a couple problems, hazard switch, transmission solenoid and dash stepper motor. Gets great mileage and I love the looks of this era Monte Carlo. I would buy another one if they made them.

Great car for school. It has decent horsepower and handling for such a large couple. The driver is very comfortable with the space around the driver. There are some rattles that accompany any Chevy model car. It is very well styled, however you see a lot of them. The gas mileage is outstanding for a V6 and maintenance costs are minimal. It's not going to get your adrenaline going.

I've owned my 2004 Monte Carlo LS for about 8 months. The car has 35,000 KMs, but already has a problem with the steering. GM use's faulty Intermediate Steering Shafts in these and many other vehicles. They only last around 35,000 kms before needing replaced. There is also a known issue with the intake gasket melting allowing anti-freeze into the oil, thus seizing your engine. There are a lot of rattles and vibrations in the cab. Most notably in the drivers door and the dash board. At times it sounds like the dashboard is going to rattle itself off. But nitpicking aside, it is a seemingly reliable car. Not the fastest, only having 170 hp and 205 lb ft of torque. It is excellent on the highway, as long as you are going a reasonable speed it will not rev higher than 2000. Normally it will be at around 1500 at 100kmph. Excellent fuel economy for a car of its size. Also, lots of leg room front and back. You can comfortably fit 4 adults in the car. It comes with a 4 speaker sound system, which isn't anything special. Good sound quality, but could use some tweeters. Very smooth ride, power when you need it. Overall I would give the car a 70%. I payed $11,000 Canadian and think it was worth every penny. Warranty would be nice, but this is GM we're talking about. Can't expect too much.
