Chevrolet Monte Carlo reviews and buying guide.
2002 Chevrolet Monte
Carlo review continued...
Comfort and convenience
abound
Monte Carlo has as much
as seven more cubic feet of interior room than any non-GM
competitor in its class. Even with the roominess and
appointments of a luxury vehicle, Monte Carlo owners
get a racecar-inspired interior feel.
Standard equipment on
all Monte Carlos includes a climate control system with
individual driver and front passenger temperature settings
and electric outside rear view mirrors. A standard 60/40
split-folding rear seat makes Monte Carlo’s 15.8
cubic feet of trunk space very versatile.
Among the variety of
entertainment systems for ’02 is a new Enhanced
Premium Sound Optionalion featuring an improved amplifier
for greater listening pleasure.
Safety and security
Attention to safety and
security is also key to Monte Carlo’s success.
For example, all models offer such standard features
as a tire-inflation monitoring system, a passive theft-deterrent
system and ABS disc brakes.
The standard safety story
has several new additions in '02. A three-point (lap
and shoulder) belt is now included in the center rear
seat position. A LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers
for Children) attachment system now enables secure installation
of a child seat without having to use the three-point
belt system.
Since the 2000 model
year Monte Carlo has met all 2003 government occupant
protection standards, and recently received a 5-star
rating (the highest rating possible) for driver and
front passenger protection in frontal crash tests. Remote
keyless entry, a driver’s side-impact air bag and
the technology of OnStar are standard on the SS model.
A driver’s side-impact air bag and remote keyless
entry are available on the LS.
