1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Other than the two MAJOR repairs I had to do on this car it has been pretty reliable and very strong. I feel like it doesn't have very much -get-up-and-go to it, however, because of the weight. As ugly as it is, I LOVED the space. I travel a lot for work and because I just love to drive. I have slept in this car on numerous occasions during long road trips, and the back seat is like sleeping on a couch. The trunk is spacious, the front seat is spacious. I pretty much live in here. I've said I wouldn't get a new car until I drove this thing into the ground and at 162K it looks like the time is almost here.Aug 28, 2012

First, the exterior, its sleek and sharp, it turns heads, nice paint (Dark jade green metallic). It's got great style I like it better than the newer monte's and i'm not the only one who thinks so. Its got a nice front grille and back tail lights, you can see that chevy is going back to that style with their new cars. Now the interior, Well the dashboard is pretty cheap, cheap plastic (typical GM) it definately looks pieced together. The seats are extremely comfortable however, it feels good driving home from work after a long day, back pain melts away. The LS trim is unique because it can come with so many options, I've seen these monte carlo's with no center console, what is that? where is the sport in that? Mine comes with center console and cloth seats and i've seen others with leather and a moonroof. Performance, i can't complain it has good pick up i'm pretty sure it can go 0 - 60 in about 8 or 9 seconds. when your on the highway you can be doing 85 and not even notice until you look down at the speedometer and then look in your rear view mirror and see your well ahead of everyone. It handles pretty well for a big car 200 inches in length and 73 inches in width, its got nice wide tires and sport suspension so it takes turns pretty well. I do not like the brakes, it would be better with 4 wheel disc brakes instead of 2 discs and 2 drums, so it can take a while to stop, that and although handles and performs well it's still a bit of a heavy car. This car has the 3.1 engine in it, good for about 160, 170 horses, the V6 3.1 OHV is one of GM's best engines and my opinion. The series II V6 3.8 OHV is also one of GM's best engines good for 200 horses you can find that engine in the 1999 Z34 monte. Finally, dependability, starts up everyday even in the coldest of temperatures, mine has 136,000 miles on it, and still drives excellent. Overall I was very happy with this purchase.
