Pros: Nice style. Has power when you need it.
Cons: Front wheel drive.

Pros: Good power, comfort, style.
Cons: More fragile than previous Lumina's.
Summary: I have two Lumina's. 96 and 91, my favorite is the 1991 because I can abuse it (its a tank, the 1996 is a little more dinky; but of course its not made for it), but it terms of power and style the 1996 is better.
The ride is very quiet and ... read more
