Euro 3.1
| | Model of the car: | Euro 3.1 | | | General comments: | Its been a great car. It has some shortcomings, like the brakes and gas milage, but the engine is soooo easy to work on! Its reliable and must have been designed by a team of Jedi's. It handles excellently and has plenty of room. It feels sporty and can gun it pretty darn well for a 3.1 V6 driven car of its weight. I'd recommend buying one to anyone looking for an inexpensive, reliable car... the lower the miles, the better. If you like rebuilding engines and stuff like that, there are few if any front-wheel drive cars that are better. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Brakes suck hard. I've never driven a car so lacking in stopping ability. The back pads never get worn, and the front ones get eaten. It tends to slide around REAL easy when its a little slick out, but fresh tires help. It doesn't get that great of gas milage (about 19city,25hwy). I don't like how you have to jack the engine forward to change the back plugs, or how you have to remove the plenum to replace the PCV valve. Gas tanks tend to develop leaks, too. | | | Previous car: | Ford Taurus 3.0. The Taurus is lighter and a little quicker, but the Lumina is 10x better quality and 10x more comfortable |
