1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo:

• There's not a hint of elegant design to be found anywhere, but for those who value function over form, the Monte's ergonomics won't disappoint.- Edmunds.com

• The instruments are straightforward, well-laid-out and easy to read. Chevrolet now uses the same uniformly functional instrument layout throughout the product line, from the Corvette to the Silverado pickup.- New Car Test Drive

• It's roomy and comfortable and easy to operate. It's fast and fun to drive. It's stable at high speeds for long runs down the interstate and it's great fun on back roads, the same kind of roads that form the roots of stock car racing.- New Car Test Drive

• Although this is a hefty car, the torquey 3.8-liter V-6 can push the Monte to 60 mph in less than eight seconds, and its flex-free chassis delivers surprisingly agile handling.- Car and Driver
