General Comments:

For a vehicle of this size, it is fast off of the line. The engine is powerful, but it feels like its dying. Need to get a tuneup on it.

Transmission is hard on shifting when slowing down, can feel it kick into second and first. Doesn't really bother me.

Seats are amazing, and even when there are 5 people in car, me and 4 friends, it still handles like a dream and is able to accelerate.

Faults:

The only thing that has gone wrong with my car is, the windows stick and the window's motors have been replaced more than once.

General Comments:

I love my car, its really fast and really dependable.

It's a all-together awesome car!

Faults:

New engine at 60000m (sat in the snow for a week and the oil froze in the pan).

New alternators at 75000m, 120000m, 145000m.

New brakes at 40000m, 85000m, 130000m.

Driver's seat is broken (will not slide forward or backward, back with not go up or down, but the whole-seat tilt still works).

Seals on the windows went bad between 80000m and 140000m.

AC Freon leaked out at 70000m, replaced hose. Then replaced the whole AC system at 130000m.

Dashboard warping started at 120000m.

Rear shocks are either broken or barely working (happened after 100000m).

General Comments:

Like most other reviews, I agree that the Lumina is the Bradley Fighting Vehicle of the Chevrolet stable. It's well built and fast. I have been hit by another car and a deer and have only had cosmetic damage while the others have fare worse. Great low end acceleration.

The factory sound system is an awesome bargain. Good bass from those small speakers!

I'm not very impressed with the electrical system. Lights burn out, bad alternator, transmission indicator lights run hot and are uncomfortable to touch after about 15 minutes.

The engine runs very hot so be careful working under the hood after driving more than a few minutes in warm weather.

The ergonomics under the hood are horrible making it difficult or impossible to do average repairs (battery replacement, changing spark plugs, installing a new alternator, etc...)

Faults:

I replaced all the brakes and rotors. I have to pull the idle air control valve out and clean it regularly.

General Comments:

I love this car, it's comfortable to drive and cheap to own.

Faults:

I just replaced the Fuel Injectors, all of them were cracked and are 100 dollars each to fix.

Front brakes went out at 103000 miles.

Right suspension is loud.

Paint is chipping all over = (

General Comments:

Overall this car is great, handles well, drives fast and is very comfortable.

Its worth the money put into it. You can get a nice street racing car or just a show car.
