Monte Carlo lover - 2006 LS
In June I got my 3rd Monte Carlo, it is a 2006 LS and it is Superior Blue Metallic. I love the new look but I am not so hot on the new ride. I miss my 2000 with the smooth ride. But I am really happy with the new interior look. Overall I am loving it so far.

Good luck with your new Monte.
Just Curious, are the 2006's really not as smooth and harder riding than older models?

I haven’t driven the LS and I don’t remember if it has the same suspension as the SS but my SS rides kind of hard compared to a lot of new cars. It does handle well though; I've thrown it into a couple of corners pretty hard and have no complaints. I agree that the new interior is really nice but I wish the drivers seat went down more.

I took my new 06 back to the dealership 3 times to find out why it shakes and it took the mechanic to go out and get a new 06 Monte with no miles on it to figure out they are all like that. I drove one myself just to see. My 2000 and 1996 were much smoother. And yes I really wish the drivers seat was lower too! I feel like I am going to hit the roof with my head. When I figure out how to put a pic up I will get that done.
[&:]I do have a wierd snapping noise when I turn my wheel all the way to the left (usually I notice this when parking or turning a tight left) . The dealership also told me this is normal. Any words of advice out there?
