You pay for your thrills.
I own one just like this. (It's also Laser Blue, not Superior). Replaced almost every part and it has 165K miles on it. While it has been a pain sourcing parts (this car is very rare - last year for the Supercharger and the only year for 17" wheels). Still, it's a great driving car and very comfortable. Gas mileage will be around 21 or so, and it does require high test gas.

The Monte
The Monte Carlo is a very exciting, fun to drive vehicle, with the style, fuel economy, and reliablity that everyone should have. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in a stylish, sporty coupe.
Dale Earnhardt IntimidatorMonte Carlo SS
This car is an awesome ride and excellant handling. It goes where you take it.
Average...to the EXTREME
Front wheel drive. It isn't too fast, but not underpowered. It has a few decent interior features, but feels cheap. There is no road-feel, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your taste. It has unique styling (again: which may or may not be good.) For a 6cyl it should get better mileage. Lots of road noise. Smallish backseat. Odd headlight controls. Front wheel drive.
Not up to snuff
I bought my car new and liked it until the factory warranty expired. My car has average at least two trips to the shop since the day I bought it. I have had to replace a rear wheel bearing and a water pump at my expense. There is a very troubling sound coming from the drive train currently. The car is comfortable and pretty easy on gas. I like the exterior styling.
Paint
The only thing that I have had a problem with, (which chevy is taking care of) is that the paint on the hood has chiped very easy. The 2nd week of ownership I took it on an 3000 mile drive and the car was so smooth and the gas mielage was unbelievable. I say 9.8 out of 10.
Monte SS
Have only had car six weeks but thoroughly enjoy it. Very smooth acceleration and comfortable ride! Gas mileage not great, but power is good!
2005 Monte
Blue Ribbon treated me great! The car runs great- of course I take good care of her with regular oil changes and such... Minimal issues all expected with running a car. Very happy.
Great American Car
A very well built, solid car. Great ride. Excellent fuel mileage. Comfort and features you would expect in a $30K car at $22K. It has a large trunk space, and the feel of a full size car with sports car handling.
