1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It was a good car. I built it from the ground up but it was too old. It tried it's best 'till the very end. I would recommend a better condition one. Great power, nice smooth look about it. It was fun while it lasted.

I bought the car with 98000 miles on it. It runs great for the $1200 I bought it for. I have not had any problems yet. The transmission was rebuilt when I got it. It has great acceleration and handling. It's fun to drive. The downside are that it's front wheel drive, and the engine is difficult to work on.

I have never been a chevy fan, but I like my Monte. I bought it 2 years ago with 157,000 miles. Now it's got 213,000 and still going strong. I was getting poor milage til I had the transmission rebuilt. I didn't even realize overdrive wasn't working! Now it always gets high 20's and I even pulled 30.2 mpg at 80 mph while crossing Tennessee. I love the power and the high revs of the engine, and I use it often. The motor reminds me of the high reving mopar small blocks. Usually a chevy engine doesn't hold up to my style of driving, but this motor seems to thrive on being used! On the down side, it is one of the hardest motors I have ever had to work on. It has a poor design for an oil leak where the distributor used to be, and it takes a long time to bleed the cooling system. I like the appearance of the car because it doesn't grab attention. I also like that I do not have a wing or any bright emblems advertising the Z34 package. Other than the 2 tailpipes, it looks like a regular monte. Noone expects a 2-door Lumina to run with the V-8's. The Z34 handles great with a great feel to the steering, but it doesn't turn very sharp for parking. I have had problems keeping the back brakes working properly and finally just converted the whole brake system to regular brakes, not anti-lock. Now I have better brakes than ever, but I still have a lot of brake fade while driving in the rain.

I got this car for $500 and it doesn't owe me a dime. Other than a severe oil leak that would take 12 hrs to fix I just add about a quart a week. This car is like a Monte SS. They didn't make the SS for a few years so they made the Z-34 instead. This car is a blast to drive, even though it weighs like 2 tons it's got sufficient power.

Overall this is my favorite car. Shes got great Torque to HP ratio. Decent gas mileage. Its a great car if you know what to tinker with. Did a Suspension upgrade and a Front disc break and pad change. She stops better and accelerates amazingly.

Comfortable car, that likes to rev, but poor gas mileage ruins the experience.

I believe the Monte Carlo is a good car to own as a second car or work car. Of course I bought it used 12 years old now with 122,000 miles on it. I believe if I had bought it new with normal upkeep it would be a great car. I love the looks and performance but the gas mileage is pretty bad. Still a work in progress.

Mine was black with a gray leather interior. The V-6 had enough power and the got good gas mileage. Trunk was huge and front and back seats were very comfortable. It was a great highway cruiser. It always attracted compliments wherever I went.

I loved this car and I really miss it. Not sure why, I can't really explain it. It completely died with 109k miles on it, so I had another engine put in and that one died about 500 miles later too. Build quality was ok even though a couple lights on the dash didn't work.

Worst car I've ever owned. The 3.4L V6 engine is severely under powered compared to other engines of similar size.
