Its not that I dont like cloth, I might like it in the long run I have just always had leather and I am a smoker so I figured with cloth the seats would stink. I picked the car because the payment was right for me and I like sporty cars. How is the car for maintenance and general up keep. Anything known to go wrong

We've had a few talks about the car audio a while ago... and it seems Monte Carlos didn't come with Bose, but Impalas did?

If you have the six-disc cd changer there's a good chance you have the upgraded speakers.

Yea no cd changer, just single disc. I did not take out an extended warranty, it still has about a year left on it for power train. Do you guys recommend getting extended warranty.

if the extended warranty has a good price it would be worth it.

I would definitely get an extended warranty. The only trouble I've had with my '07 LT is the tire pressure monitoring system. Three had to be replaced - covered under the original warranty. The guy who did it said they're a poorly-made part and he expects the fourth to need replacing soon. The transmission hasn't given me any trouble at all. The car runs like a dream and has more power than anything I've driven, considering it's a V6.
