Lumina 3.1 V-6
| | Model of the car: | Lumina 3.1 V-6 | | | General comments: | I've always drove GM vehicles because I've always been very satisfied with them. The Chevy Lumina didn't dissapoint me. I bought the car used in Nov.'97 with 58,000 miles on it. It now has over 175,000 on it. I haven't had any problems with it. The water pump was replaced at the 140,000 mile mark and it's gone through 1 battery and 2 altenatiors, but that's because I got a pile of electronics in it. The thing is a damn tank too. When I lived up north I could go through snow that 4x4's got stuck in. I took out a Honda Civic and all I got where a few scratches and a small dent above the front right wheel. I never got it replaced, it's still damaged and working fine. And don't get me going at how many times I've been rerended going through all those damn toll boths around the Chicago area. At leat a dozen and all I got is a scuffed up rear bumper with a crack in it. And the crack came the last time when I got hit by a US Marshal going home from testifying in court. The car is awsome and it committed me to Chevy for life, or at least until I get a bad product. I plan to trade it for the new Impala soon. I here the Impala is getting good reviews. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | The brakes. The limited cup holders, (placement of cup holder by stereo. I spilled soda into it and it shorted out most of the back lights. My warrenty didn't cover it. And why don't the rear windows roll all the way down if I wan't them to. I don't have any kids. | | | Previous car: | I had a '84 Buick Skyhawk,(one mean car. It never let me down) '89 Chevy Celeberty (also good), 88 Buick Centry (Lemon) With the exception of the Centry All GM, (my grandparents only drove GM cars as I was a kid) all good, but the Lumina has been the best |
