Really loved owning this car. I worked shifts and always felt it was realiable in all weather and felt very safe in the vehicle. It was large enough in trunk space to pack gear for camping, and yet looked good when going out to diner.

This is a beautiful car. Leather interior, roomy, handles nice. Not so great with gas and it is WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO FIX!!!! If you like having Mechanics guessing on what the problems are even after Diagnostics are preformed and willing to pay $5,000 to replace your 3.4L Engine and Transmission all to ride around in a beautiful Monte Z34, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

I bought my 1997 Monte Carlo Z34 brand new and loved it for one year. After one year it has had nothing but problems with misfiring. It has had 4 set of wire & plugs, fuel injectors, coils and modules, many other things replaced,diagnostics up the ying yang. At least 15 times back and forth to the dealer and no fixes yet. Still today runs horrible and the engine light makes a good night light. I will never buy a chevrolet again nor go to the above dealer ever, ever again.
