"Bought this car with 30,000 mi on it and 2 years old. It is the SS package. Have had nothing major wrong with this car since. It is now 109,000 mi and still running strong! After 100,000 mi I had to replace 2 things, a window regulator ($500) and an elbow coolant hose ($300). Very good acceleration for a V6, I was pleasantly surprised. Standard options are real nice too! I especially like the premium sound system with factory amp. It is very bassy sounding. Power everything, cruise on steering wheel, ICE COLD A/C still at 109,000 and never serviced it. Amazingly reliable!"

"Purchase the car new in july 03, 8 plus years with 93k on the car it has never been in the shop except for oil changes. We get 22 mpg in and around town and have got up to 32mpg on the highway. I have replaced the front and rear brake pads and one set tires. Has been a very good car and plan on driving it for some more years. I have had very good service from GM automobiles. Best piece of advice is keep up on routine maintance and you should get many miles of worry free driving."

"After years of owning imports, I purchased a used 2003 Monte Carlo SS in 2007 with 25k. It currently has 70k on it and I have yet to have an issue with this car. I drive this car often and hard in heavy traffic and it still starts on the first try each time! A major wow factor for me when looking to purchase this car is the heavy doors; they feel solid and safe and give the car a very safe and secure feel. A few months after buying the car I was rear ended - HARD. The other driver did not even hit the brakes before slamming into me, but the Monte held up and I was not slightly injured. So long as this keeps up, I will never buy another brand besides GM. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle that will last a long time!"
