  Love my Lumina - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Judith Lloyd - February 12 - 12:00 am

  My Lumina has been driven by me only and has given me excellent service. My Lumina has 31,550 actual miles and still has the same tires that came with it brand new. I only drive it work and church which are both less than 5 miles from my home.

  1998 Lumina tops all cars Ive owned - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Ruth Samuels - October 10 - 9:46 am

  After 10 years of driving the 1998 Lumina, I have found it is the most reliable, comfortable, safe car Ive owned. It has features which I have just discoved many 2008 cars still dont have: electronically adjustable drivers seat, daytime running lights, automatic headlights, a great engine without any hesitation which has always run smoothly and quietly. This car has never left me stranded - it seems to be indestructible and has always been exceptionally reliable. Plenty of room. Most important: no engine or transmission problems at all in 10 years, at 132,000 miles. It could go to 200,000 easily. I have owned a Corolla, Camry, Altima, & Buick. The Lumina has been the best by far!

  Best cars built - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By joe boxer - June 21 - 9:22 pm

  This has got to be the best car ever built. My 98 Lumina has 430,000 plus miles on it and I’ve done only routine maintenance repairs on it. The car drives like new yet, the power the 3100 v-6 makes. The passing power the ride. All are awesome yet.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By KD - April 13 - 5:38 pm

  Ive always had cars that were poor mechanically. This car has been awesome. I have done nothing to the engine except replace the spark plugs and change the oil. I replaced the gas tank and general maintenance. Its comfortable to drive but now with 146000 miles on it, its starting to show its age. I dont get much power going up hills anymore. Im going to be sad to see her go. There wont be another one like it out there as trouble free as this was.

  Under rated car - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By lumina owner - February 2 - 1:58 am

  This is my fourth Lumina, 2 90s, one 95 and now the 98. They have all been great vehicles, very cheap to up keep as long as you maintain the vehicle properly, they are cheap to buy and find that they are more comfortable than most cars on the road, fuel mileage has been great with all of the vehicles, the interior is spacious but kind of bland but thats why the aftermarket world exists. I really dont like Chevrolet but this model name is the only one I will buy from them, its too bad they stopped making them in North America. If your buying the car with the intent to fix it up or modify it, it has a lot of parts available in the aftermarket but you do have to search for them.

  Dont Judge a Book by its Cover - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Frasier - January 28 - 8:53 pm

  I purchased my Lumina in 2013 at 200,000 miles for $1100. I put another $500 in to replace the tie rods and rotors. 3 Years and 35,000 miles later, I have only had to replace the spark plugs and oxygen sensor. In terms of reliability and maintenance cost, this car is positively wonderful. The car itself will fall apart before the engine ever dies out on you as long as you take care of it. It does burn oil, but that is to be expected for a car with this many miles on it. If you have the opportunity to pick up a high mileage Lumina for cheap without major engine problems, I would highly recommend it.

  I have driven this vehicle for 77000 of its 103000 miles. Only parts to be replaced over its lifetime are ignition key lock cylinder and the generator. Other than this there have been no problems. The vehicle has just had its mandatory annual state inspection and passed flawlessly. Its a good car. Too bad they stopped manufacturing them!

  great car!! - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By dogloverMom and five - February 16 - 2:00 am

  Just recently sold to my best friends mother, so it would stay in the family. Very good car, always started right up even sitting in frigid Indiana winters outside all night. Never had any problems besides very minor issues.Hate to get rid of it, but got a new SUV.This car got us back and forth on several vacations, and drove great on ice and snow.

  A great asset - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By blackstone - December 26 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Luminas for the past 15 years. They are very reliable. I change the oil every 5000 miles and other than brakes at about 50000 miles, and tires at about the same mileage, there is no maintainence. This car is now 6 years old and never been in the shop. Rock solid reliable and very comfortable (leather interior). Has all the creature features too. GOOD GAS MILEAGE at 26 on road, 23 in town. Gotta love this car. Depreciation like evry other new car is a killer.
