The 1998 Monte Carlo continued to be available as an LS or Z34. The engine on the LS remained a 3.1-liter V6 rated at 160 horsepower, while the Z34 engine got bigger, yet slightly less powerful: it was now a 3.8-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower (the previous engine was a 3.4-liter, 215-horsepower V6).
Mileage for the LS is 20/29 city/highway, and the Z34 improved to 19/30 with the new engine. Drivers love this car for the mileage, yet stronger-engine feel. It is large enough for a family, yet fun enough that many drivers would like it. Luxurious options such as power leather seats are popular, yet complaints arise about the large turning radius for the vehicle.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for its reliable engine, good acceleration, and comfort. Many appreciated the spacious interior and powerful V6 engine, making it a fun car to drive. However, some noted issues with its durability and mentioned that parts of the car can wear out over time. The front-wheel drive was also a point of dislike for a few owners."
I love this car. It has 211,700 miles on it and it still runs strong. It accelerates nicely and really puts out when you need it to. It's very fun to drive, especially when someone wants to race you.The Monte usually wins.
January 26, 2010Nice driving large 2 door Car with a big back seat and trunk. And nice looking car!
December 15, 2020This car has not led a real good life. But the engine still purrs like a kitten. The body is falling apart through no fault of it's own, but we can't part with it because of the amazing engine.

December 3, 2007This car is great, easy to burn out, very responsive on the turns, and quite comfortable. Only problem I see is that its a front wheel drive. Gets about 20 miles to the gallon on the highway on a good day, and has pretty good stock speakers. Not the car I want to have for the rest of my life, but extremely satisfying right now.
