The 2002 Monte Carlo followed in the footsteps of the succesful 2001 model, changing little. The LS engine remained a 3.4-liter, 180-horsepower V6, while the SS stayed at a 3.8-liter, 200-horsepower V6. Fuel economy remained nearly identical at 21/32 city/highway for the LS and 19/29 for the SS.
New for 2002 was the Dale Earnhardt Signature Edition. Only 3,333 of these were produced in honor of the famous "3." The engine is the same as on the SS, but racing markings can make the car look even faster.
If you are looking to be better protected in your vehicle, opt for the SS, which comes with side airbags in addition to the driver and passenger front-impact bags.

This car is great on gas, very roomy and has a sporty look and a smooth ride to boot! What more can you ask for? I have never had a problem with it. This is a reliable car. I have done the required maintance on it to ensure it keeps running as expected. Awesome car
April 10, 2012This car is very fun and smooth car to drive. The 3800 engine is very strong and runs forever. I love the heated leather seats and sunroof. Not the best if your are really tall but it works. Overall its an amazing car.
October 28, 2009I really like this car. It's held up pretty good for a 10+ year old car. It has some minor issues but what car doesn't? Pretty spacious for a 2 dr and it has some decent trunk space. Good car all together.

January 21, 2015I really like my car - that's why I bought it. Chevy is driving excitement!! For size of car compared to size of motor - there is nice acceleration, all around performance. Very fun to drive - I don't like to leave it sit anywhere. All I have had to put into it is regular maintenance, even after a trip across country. Since my car is loaded with all options, styling is awesome. Gas mileage is good - 24 to 27 mpg - good for size and motor. Love it!
July 17, 2009Bought the car brand new and have loved it ever since. The performance is good but could be better it accelerates great, brakes well, and handles like a dream. The only thing i have done is replace the turn signal switch, replaced the battery, and changed oil regularly. I love the leather interior and the bright yellow paint job. The gas mileage is great usually between 25-30 when keeping my foot out of it. The car is great for taking out on the town on the weekends to have fun in and race people.
December 31, 2008Had good gas mileage while looking amazing and being relatively sporty. Lots of features on fully loaded models, such as the one i had.
March 18, 2008I love this car! It has had a few minor problems, but what car doesn't. The look is classy and I love the interior. Excellent gas mileage with a lot of power. Great car to drive around just for fun.
October 1, 2009Great car, its one of 1150. 2002 pacecar edition. Got a strong V6 and I put in a performance chip and a super charger, and is at about a 14 second quarter mile. Overall the car has a great sound for a V6.
October 30, 2011Def. better handling than a small cavalier coupe.. Nice and roomy, heavy and decent in snow. Drives very smooth too. Definately an enjoyable ride
December 12, 2007This is the first brand new car I ever had. It is a very comfortable car to drive and was never short on power. I would buy another one in a heartbeat! Mine was competition yellow... awesome car! Loved it!!!
