  OK car. - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By argekay - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Bought used with 75,000 miles. Had to replace the turn signal assembly on the steering wheel due to inoperative brake lights. Engine has very noisy metallic sound when started cold. This is a known defect. Noise goes away when engine warms up. Fuel gauge is useless. It is not accurate at all. Cup holder is broken due to flimsy design. That being said, the car is reliable all around. Nice quiet and solid ride. This is the best chevy product I have owned, but my next car will be a Toyota Camry.

  Road Warrior - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By brewerfan - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Car has been a work horse for 6-years. Very dependable with little to no maitance (expept oil changes). Actually went 135K miles before changing the plugs and was still getting 28 mpg on the highway. Body design and interior leave a bit to be desired, but all in all a very good value over the course of the six years.

  One of the best cars I have owned - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By MarkNYC - May 19 - 2:00 am

  No problems in 5 years and 84,000 miles. The best thing about it is the 3.8 L V6 engine and the incredibly reliable performance. Excellent tire wear.

  Best Car Ive ever owned - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By dan-o the ritalinkid - May 5 - 2:00 am

  The Lumina kept myself and my family safe from serious injury in a recent accident. When a minivan made a turn directly in my path not more than aprox. 50ft away while I was traveling at approx 40mph the impact was unavoidable. The mini van had 12 passengers, 4 more than its limit. The Luminas front impacted the passenger side of the van just between front and rear doors. Not only did myself and my family escape serious injury but the Lumina was still running and the radiator still held its coolant. Sorry to say 10 of the 12 van pasengers were injured. The Lumina had an excellent history of reliability since I owned it.

  1998 Chevrolet Lumina Base Model - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Jennifer15358 - March 20 - 2:00 am

  I bought it brand new back in 1998. Anyway, it has 133,000 miles on it currently and hasnt given me much trouble. The only thing that has went bad on the car so far is the water pump, which had to be replaced at around 100,000 miles. Its been a pretty reliable car so far. I travel a total of 90 miles a day, 5 days a week with this car, to and from work. And I never broke down or had a problem. But there is one negative thing about this car, that is it seems to burn oil, or leak oil because between oil changes(every 5,000 miles) I usually have to add almost a quart of oil. Other then the small oil loss, the car is built good and is reliable.

  Worth the Money - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By robert05 - August 19 - 2:00 am

  We bought this car 4years ago and it has performed well overall. The ride is smooth and quiet. The quality of the interior is not the best. Several items such as the driver arm rest and overhead visor have broken. The comment from the service advisor. Its a cheaply made car. The brokes have also required more atttention than I consider normal.

  LTZ - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Brian R. - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I bought my LTZ about 2.5 yrs ago with 54k on it. Im impress with the performance and the problem free 3.8 ltr is wonderful. It has a great sound when pushed hard. I have driven this car for 8 hrs straight and I had no back problems. The dual zone climate control is a must with a wife who gets cold easy. Would prefer a rear folding seat. The lthr is very soft and the seats are like a lazyboy. The only complaint is with the interior plasic. The door panels and dash has a nice texture, however the plastic around the insrument cluster and climate and radio is Fisher Price cheap. Other than that I love the car and plan to keep it for a very long time
