Pros: Reliability 12 years of great service no major issues Great Factory tires Getting 20mpg city
Cons: That the greatness of this car won't last forever.
The Bottom Line: If you want a mid size quality sports carlike ride this is the one for you.
Everyone gets a lemon every now and then and those that are complaining about this car just probably are paying their Karma price for something else they did bad in life. This car (1996) model has been a great vehicle for 12 years now for me and ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Spacious interior, beautiful looks, big trunk, smooth driving, low maintenance
Cons: Rear blind spots, rear seat entry/exit, power (LS), hubcaps/ steel wheels (LS)
The Bottom Line: Smooth, sporty car for a good price, definitely pick one up. With the depreciation of value of American cars, you should be able to pick one up cheap.
My parents bought this car as for a daily driver for my mom, right off the showroom floor. After a few years of her driving it back and forth to work, I turned 16 and it was handed down to me. There are numerous things I like about this vehicle, and ...

Pros: V6 engine, Good traction, nice features, large trunk, runs smooth, No major problems, security system
Cons: Power windows skew out, ineffective windshield sprayer, anti-lock brakes in and out, wipers need adjustment
The Bottom Line: This Car has performed well even at a higher mileage. It will run well if taken care of. Check closely before buying it used.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: great look, roominess & DURABILITY
Cons: lack of features, transmission & various minor malfunctions
The Bottom Line: This car is a reliable choice for a school car. Fear not about sending your child away to college if they drive away in a Monte Carlo.
I have had far fewer issues with my used Monte Carlo than most people have noted. Being 6'0 tall, I could comfortably sit in every seat in the car. One complaint that I had with the look is the similarity to its 4-door counter, the Lumina. As the car...

Pros: A sport luxury car. Comfortable seats and plenty of space. Very fast for a v-6
Cons: Gas is horrible. It feels like you are paying for a v-8.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend it for anyone. It is the same style as mine so i know it would be just as good.
I bought this car 5 months ago and have had not a single problem with it. It has very fast acceleration and runs smooth. It is sporty on the outside and makes you feel your in luxury on the inside. It definitely catches attention. The one I purchased is...

Pros: Great-looking car
Cons: Too many to list here.
The Bottom Line: Be very cautious with this model year. I've heard of a few good experiences, but also very many bad experiences.
Unfortunately, I am one of the people that bought one of these out of the bad batch. I have heard of others with good experiences, but here's my bad one. I bought my car brand new in 1996 with 28 miles on it. Almost immediately I started having...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Nice seats, decent looking car
Cons: everything else
The Bottom Line: Warranty was a blessing, the vehicle was overall a disappointment
I have had the privilege/unfortunate experience to own two newer Monte Carlo Z34's within the past two and a half years.
This was my first brand new vehicle in my life. My husband and I purchased a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34. We were both...

Pros: Comfortable ride
Cons: Made during a strike period of the company...starting to fall apart.
Almost a year ago I wrote that I had found the car of my dreams. My one last fling at having a sporty-looking car. I had given my heart to the sleek seductive curves of the Monte Carlo, comfort beyond belief, step on the gas on the v-6 and your gone!...

Pros: Fun to drive
Cons: Transmission problems
I purchased my Monte Carlo new in 1996, and I really enjoyed it for the first 3.5 years. In fact, when it's working properly, it's still a lot of fun to drive. In December 1999, my transmission went out at 58,000 miles. About two months later, I also...

Problems from the start
This is not my car but my Mom's car. SHe bought it used with 45,000 miles on it. At first we both loved the car. It was fun and quick, though we noticed that it started funny and the gas mileage was not all that great....

Pros: Exhilarating engine, good looks, decent ride/handling, Jimmy Hoffa-sized trunk, steering wheel radio controls
Cons: Reliability? Horrible front seats, entry/exit a problem, nor stick/rear-wheel-drive
This is a review of a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34, the Monte Carlo that is far more attractive than the all-new 2000 model. However I came to find out during my marriage to the 96 Z34 that beauty needs to run more than just skin deep.
At first...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy,attractive, handles well
Cons: poor designed trunk,washer fluid clogs in winter
After car shopping for two weeks, I decided on the Monte Carlo and for the most part have been extremely pleased with it.
Most of the newer cars aren't large enough to hold a family of 5 but this one is. I'm happy with the overall performance...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: The sleek look, power and feel of the car
Cons: Possible candidate for a speeding ticket
Being a baby boomer, I never thought I would find another car to replace the heart of my heart a '71 mustang. But alas, I have given my heart to another. The sleek seductive curves of the Monte Carlo, comfort beyond belief, step on the gas on the v-6 and...
