  My first car is a dream come true - 1991 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Mikey likes it - July 10 - 2:00 am

  I pulled $2000 together and purchased a torch red 1991 Chevy Lumina Z34. For a car 12 years old and with some 134K miles on it, it still performs with more stamina than I wouldve ever expected of it, and its stylish good looks turn my familys/friends/co- workers heads in a way that makes me think I got the better end of the deal. But I didnt just buy it for those amicable qualities--I was looking for reliability. Something to get me to school, work, and then back home when the day was through (did I mention I live in Minnesota where we have below freezing weather 3 months of the year?) I definately got that, too.

  Cheap Thrills! - 1992 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Car Freak - July 4 - 2:00 am

  I absolutely love these cars - Ive had over 20 different cars and the Red Hot Z has to be one of my favorites. The "marriage" between the engine & trans is flawless -the performance is unmatched in a mid-size category for the cash. The brakes suffer a bit - changed out every 6 months - but GM is to send out some $$$ to offset. Im buying another one in a few days - 212,000 miles on my last one! Recommend highly for the teenager or old dude that needs some cheap thrills. Dont let the price fool ya - Oh, & make sure the you get the front bearings checked around 80K-150K. used cars always need some preventative maintanence! Have Fun!

  Best Car I Ever Owned - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
  By wthomas - July 3 - 2:00 am

  This Lumina, which I purchased new, has been a great purchase. The car has been very reliable and the 6 cylinder engine and transmission work very well together. Excellent power performance for weight of car. The radio is top notch and I enjoy the speed/noise sensitive automatic volume control. The AC unit is excellent. Cold is COLD. Overall my best car ever, and not a bad price.

  Nice car - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By zees - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Intake manifold gaskets went at 66000. Apparantley the Chevy and others now use plastics gaskets for v6 and v8s. Maybe they will get it right in another ten years. Also fuel sendign unit broke, cost $880 at dealer to fix. Only good news is next time Chevy pays for the parts (lifetime warranty on replacement parts) But the car has been more reliable than my previous Accord.

  Extended warranty saved. - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By J Rice - June 22 - 2:00 am

  Nice looking and fun to drive - but glad I bought the extended warranty. Bought used 3 years ago with 30,000 miles, have since put $6,000 worth of work thru the warranty - fuel injectors, water pump, oil pan gasket, ABS sensors, alternator, replaced engine-bearing failure, sunroof motor,door lock switch, brake rotors - you name it. And all this in a car that has been well maintained and has only 75,000 miles currently. Planning to dump it before the warranty expires.

  This Lumina Rocks! - 1999 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Luminated - June 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought this LTZ new in January, 1999. The test drive sold me on the LTZs torque, handling and ride! The 200HP 3.8 V6 and the stiff cop car like ride have made this car a favorite. Four and a half years and 143000 miles later this babys still going strong. The motor is durable and runs smoothly (no tune up yet!). Only mechanical problems have been an alternator replaced at 82K and the tranny rebuilt at 138K. I firmly believe the tranny issue is connected to a dim wit who messed up a filter change @ 70K... Bought and paid for, I hope to keep this going for, well, another 50-60K at least.

  My Chevy Lumina - 1994 Chevrolet Lumina
  By D. Landers - May 29 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this automobile originally as a get around car. After having driven it for 5 years mostly back and forth to work, shopping, and ocassionally sightseeing, I have found that this car was a real find. I have only had to have one expensive service done, that was a brake job. Otherwise, the car is a comfortable ride, has real class, and everyone who has ridden in it has nothing but good to say about it.

  Bye Bye Z34 - 1994 Chevrolet Lumina
  By RobertGA - May 21 - 2:00 am

  Bought w/ 30K miles 7 years ago. 100K miles now. A blast to drive. From 3K on the tach, feels like a V8. Curvy roads are fun. Rearward visibility is poor. No electrical problems. The tranny just blew. Repair costs are $2700. "Bye Bye Z34" An oil seal cost $1K to fix. The intake leaked and a computer chip went bad - about $1K. Hidden rust cost several hundred dollars. Timing BELTS must be replaced every 50K miles. Alternator went out. No leaks, but needs half a quart of oil a month. Turning radius is poor. Possibly the most fun Ive had in a car. Would not buy another one and Im a bit leery of Chevy now after 20 years of loyalty.
