alllll of my friends loved it. heck they still love it, i think they were more excited to see the monte rather then me when i moved back from florida lol. anytime we go somewhere its either in the monte or my besties mustang.
my ex came up to me the first day i got it in his 07 sonata and was like i would sooo beat you in a race, needless to say that he pissed me off and still does to this day with all his bull.
it was one of the, if not the best, looking cars in my high school parking lot
my parents obviously liked it since they surprised me with it lol
the rest of my family likes it even though they arent really into cars and all
99% of the people i know love the car and i get sooo many compliments about it and i absolutely love that =D

I'm gonna have to get back to this, but most were positive, my buddy at work has an "intimidator" and I would trade him in a hearbeat for it, it looks ten times better than mine! I think some people think this is my mid-life crisis car, I really hope not?? so I'll get back to this when I get a chance! although my daughter thinks it will be hers in 3 years but I think not!

My mom always thought they were ugly so she wasn't too impressed until she drove it and decided it should be hers. My dad is the one who actually bought the car so he liked it. Most of my friends didn't comment that much but with everything I've done to it I've gotten more and more comments from them. There are still several of them who like it better than a buddy's 2010 Camaro SS/RS.
I still get the occasional compliment, usually from people that didn't know I'm the one that drives it or random people on the street. There have been negative comments like with all cars but they're overshadowed by all the positiveness.

my brother and my dad are the biggest ford fans you will ever see, my brother loves fords so much he could tell you the timing on any year mustang ever made{disturbing}. but every body elses jaws droped when i pulled up in my newish..... monte, the week befor i had already seen the car on a lot and decided it would be mine so after a week of goin through the motions of car buying(aimlessly searching) i actually had a sellsman at a different carlot ask me "why didnt u buy it" when i told him about it lol. the day after, i went and did the paperwork and it was mine, and i get a complament just about every other day.
i love my monte

I don't know why I lol'd at that.
I WAS excited! My parents were skeptical since my family is honda/toyota biased, especially since i bought it used. My friend also was like man shoulda got a civic
My friend thinks or should i say thought he could take me on his 06 corolla xrs not anymore tho
I like catching random strangers just looking at it.
So friends and family were 50/50 about it.

The reception was good mainly. My mom was generally jealous that she hadn't got all the options I had and wished she would have bought one instead. My father, indifferent, as usual. Girlfriend fell in love with the heated seats and ride, though she doesn't care much for cars. My friends (and their friends/girlfriends) have been pretty positive about it, haven't heard anything negative. As I add stuff, the monte seems to get more attention from strangers and whatnot. Hell, just the other day my buddy was amazed to see that GM put an amp in from the factory when I was walking him around the car going over some plans for spring.
