2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The turn of the century brought a complete restyling to the 2000 Monte Carlo. Chevy seemed to miss its classic Monte Carlos, and the 2000 model featured ample "retro" styling. The vertical taillights returned, as did a stylized rear bumper and wheel flares.
Gone for 2000 was the Z34, and it was replaced by the return of the SS. The LS remained the base trim, though its engine got a bit of a boost; the 3.4-liter, 180-horsepower V6 had 20 horses more than the 1999 Monte. The standard engine for the SS was the 3.8-liter, 200-horsepower V6 formerly found in the Z34.
Drivers love the styling of the vehicle, especially the soft leather seats, yet there have been some maintenance issues, including clunking steering wheels and engine trouble.

I absolutely love my car! It has been extremely reliable, the maintenance and repair have been minimal. It is beautiful, comfortable and fun to drive. It will go from 0 to 60 FAST. Excellent handling whether going 45 or 85! Gas mileage is pretty ok too. Oct 08, 2014

GM designed such a great car - brakes, power and comfort. But they really dropped the ball on handling. The put a great suspension on the car but without being a rear wheel drive platform - it is significantly reduced in what it could have been. Wobbly handling is an issue if you try to drive in an aggressive manner.Aug 18, 2013

I do not dislike anything about these cars. I also own a 1974 version.They ride nice, look sharp and handle wonderful. My last one was even good in the snow. We have a family of 5 and even being only 2 doors did not affect anything for us. These cars have always been dependable. Aug 02, 2013

Bought the car in Nov 2000, added ground effects in feb 01 and just
customized it a little bit here and there. Paid off 2 years early and took
it off the road and purchased a 97 Cadillac Eldorado in 2006. Put the
Monte back on the road and drove both cars until 2008, when I traded
in the Eldorado for a Pontiac GTO. I think the Monte started becoming
jealous as she started acting up, with a radiator or a flat tire and then
the exhaust (which were the same flowmasters I put on in 2001) She
was a good car, but I wanted a 2006 Monte SS and I finally bought 1 in
July 2012 and traded this Monte in for the same color.Jan 17, 2013

Like everything. Bought from an older couple who bought it brand new and took very good care of it. Have future mods planned but need to get a few things taken care of first...Motor mount, front bushings and a good tune up. Sep 02, 2010

I bought a 2000 Monte back in late 04 and I have replaced everything in it. Engine, Air Conditioning, Struts, brakes, suspension, etc. Half the interior lights work, and the check engine light comes on occasionally. But I love it cuz it's fast and it is my bebe.Oct 08, 2009

Love the ride, love the look, i just wish mine was an 04 with a supercharger. I've made it look very unique and i loving driving it. I've done a bit of aftermarket such as rims, exhaust, decals, stero, intake and just basic stuff.Feb 10, 2009

I love my car! It's the perfect size, sporty but still has lots of room. It handles great and is fun to drive. It's also good on gas mileage especially for the size of car that it is. I know a few people who own Monte Carlos just like mine and they love theirs as well. I would recommend the Monte Carlo to anyone...they're great cars!Aug 26, 2008

This is a great car if your not looking for a really fast car. It has a great ride, very quiet, yet still can get up and go. These cars are built very well. I have had mine a year and the only money i have put into it is for general maintenance. Both the interior and exterior look great. The interior is very organized and funtional, and the exterior is beautifull. I usually get around 21 MPG in town.Jul 21, 2008

I love the design that we used for the speakers and it works AWESOME. Body style is a nice flow and it has a large trunk.
I do not like the rust spots that are starting to show up but what do you expect for for an year old car. Jun 12, 2008

The Monte is a great first car, it's got everything you want until you start asking for power and acceleration. Falls kinda short there. But it's damn fine looking and drives well. Feb 05, 2008
