2000 Chevrolet Lumina 3.1L
Summary:
Economical family car
Faults:
Engine rebuilt under warranty to correct piston slap at 36,000 miles. Dealer stated normal for car with that many miles.
Windshield wipers repaired three times in first 6 months under warranty.
General Comments:
Excellent mileage for a car of its size still getting approximately 25-27 mpg in town. It has gotten as high as 34 mpg on highway.
Original tires lasted over 70,000 miles.
Front brakes replaced at 60,000 miles, ready for third set already; seems to not be using the rear brakes.
The 3.1L is underpowered, It has always accelerated like it's pulling a trailer; GM should have used the same motor as in the Monte Carlo.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

That would be because your trip meter is measuring kilometers, not miles. not surprising, seeing as Luminas tend to be re-badged Holden Commodores, made in Australia.
I'm assuming you mean LS, not LX, which would in fact be a Commodore Executive.
