  **THE AMERICAN POWER** - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
  By LUMILORIAN - June 11 - 8:35 am

  This car is great, love the 16 inch tires and rims, its roomy, v6 bullet proof engine, 6 passenger seating, power Windows, and power locks, its very useful you can put a lot of things on it, I traveled far away and never put me off the road, regular maintenance, cheap to have, very quiet car, its not heavy so you can make it faster with additional modifications.

  Best car for the Money Period! - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Clark - May 22 - 12:26 pm

  Truly a car that will last if you know how to perform routine maintenance. I love this car! At 210,000 I redid the Intake Manifold gasket, water pump, and havent had any leaks since. The only other problems I have had have been electrical from the wire rotting out. These are simple fixes, just hard to trace where sometimes. I run Valvoline Max Life Full Synthetic oil. In town mileage is okay, highway is better than most cars get today. Add an HHO system and you will get over 35+mpg highway.

  very good car - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina

  We picked the car out for my mother - in- law in 1999 with 15001 miles on it. She wanted a 6 passenger car so she could drive her bridge playing pals around. Out of about 10 of them she and the Lumina are the only ones still around. She doesnt drive anymore so its now the #4 vehicle in a 3 driver family. Im going to put on its first new set of tires and probably keep it for another 10 years.

  Good Car - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Rickster - May 3 - 7:25 pm

  This car is decent. I bought this car at around 92k, and now i am at 98k. The car has a nice, roomy interior with an okay exterior. The brakes are mushy and take time to get used too. The car is weak going up hills, but who cares when your getting awesome gas mileage. Despite the mushy brakes and weak power, this car is VERY reliable.

  Overall a good car - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By Joe - April 29 - 9:30 am

  Ive put 15,000 miles on it (127k now) since I bought it. Its a base model, but it has power options and keyless entry - big plus. Interior design is the best part: simple. 3 gauges, 3 climate knobs, and not much more. Standard GM controls work well. Car has tiny spots of rust behind wheels, but thats expected with age. Ive gotten 33mpg going 68 on the highway in calm weather, but I get < 20 in the city. This car has adequate power, but who wants adequate? The 3100 has enough grunt to make your heart race when you push it from a stoplight, and it works okay for passing on the highway. Drivers side visor clip and rear passenger window button broke, but theyre not important.

  best $200 i ever spent - 1993 Chevrolet Lumina
  By tucker - April 22 - 1:01 am

  My dad found this for me while I was car shopping. It was meant to be a temporary car but I fell in love. The lumina never failed to start throughout the entire first Maine winter I put it through, though the doors did have a tendency to freeze open, but as soon as the car warmed up theyd thaw and I could shut them properly. I lived in this car for the summer of 2008 and the bench seats are like sleeping on a couch. Ive seriously never been in a more comfortable car. Ive never had a Major problem with this car, always routine maintenance done a little too late. Had the car for almost two years and shes in rough shape, but Ive put her through hell. I love my lumina and highly recommend!

  Thought GM is always bad - 1998 Chevrolet Lumina
  By YM - April 19 - 12:43 pm

  Im a student a got this Lumina for $1500. It has high mileage 180000+ but runs great. A lot of power, very reliable, with reasonable gas mileage. I bought it Sep 2008 used for more than 10 years. Bought for winter and thought that Ill have to leave for parts after that. It still runs great and I decided to keep it, nothing changes except battery.

  very reliable - 1996 Chevrolet Lumina
  By S BAKER - April 13 - 8:15 am

  I bought this car new in feb 1996. Still own the car and still driving. It now has 211,100 miles. The only problems have been minor until last year. We had to get a rebuilt transmission installed. Love this car and will keep until it no longer can be fixed. Purchased a Pontiac Bonneville in 2002 because of on the interstate driving, but I still drive the lumina from time to time to work. As a matter of fact I drove it to work today. This is a 75 mile trip. Very reliable car and was a great price.
