  Love My Car - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Grian - November 6 - 11:58 am

  I have owned my 97 Lumina for 3 years. It is the most reliable car ever and I have put 30,000 miles on it and all that it has required has been an alternator replaced and EGR ports cleaned and a MIL bulb changed. I would not hesitate to buy another one. These repairs where not costly and easy to repair (and Im a woman).

  My Chevy - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By My Chevy - June 24 - 8:50 pm

  I never expected to drive this car to over 194,000 miles, but its amazing what you can do when you change the oil every 3,000 miles. Ive had the fuel pump replaced, 2 fuel injectors replaced, and the alternator replaced. Not bad for this many miles. Never had a problem with starting it up, even in the dead of winter. But the best thing is probably that I can still get up to 33 mpg on the road. And thats with a 6-cylinder 3.1 liter engine!

  Very inexpensive to own! - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By gwalker - March 16 - 2:00 am

  I cant began to say how reliable this car is. I just got my car back from the mechanic for a regular maintanence check-up and everything checks great. I purchased the car with 26,000 miles in 98 and, today, Im at 155,000 and still counting. The only thing replaced was the alternator and, of course, brakes. Ive been in 3 accidents. Rear ended twice w/ nothing but "stress marks" in the bumper paint. Hit on the side, knocked the rim lose off the axle. No damage to my car, the rim was tighten back on. Very durable! I cant say the same about the other cars that had to be towed! This car takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

  LS Review - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By paramedic13100 - March 7 - 2:00 am

  This car has taken me through hell and back without once burn. Great build quality, and good performance. I put it through an average of 35,000 miles a year and it just smiled and kept on running. Best car Ive had so far. 140,000+ miles and still running strong!

  Good all-around - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By mikeal1913 - May 15 - 2:00 am

  Luminas have been very good to me. This is a dependable, low maintenance cost car. Both Luminas Ive owned have gotten great gas mileage considering their size. My 4 cyl. Lumina got about 30 and this 6 cyl. gets 24. Powerful, smooth ride, good looks.

  One of the Best - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By IceHouse - May 7 - 2:00 am

  This is a very low-maintenance vehicle with a nice ride - great traction- control system and many nice features. I have had almost no problems with the vehicle and only wish they were still making them.

  Better than I expected - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By WalterJ - November 30 - 2:00 am

  This was a corporate fleet car I bought from a dealer. It had 57000 miles and now has 97000. Its amazing to me that the resale price is so low. This is the first car I think Ill take the distance. Best highway car I ever had. Very reliable.

  A Dependable Ride - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By vikki - November 11 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Lumina for three years, having bought it new. Except for an alternator at 55,000 miles and routine maintenance, I havent had to do a thing.Solid road car, I put on a lot of miles per year. My daughter is getting this one for going back and forth to college while I buy another Lumina with lower miles. I wish they would rethink discontinuing this model--its the best car Ive ever owned.
