Pros: roomy, excellent family car, dependable, blue :)
Cons: Miles per gallon aren't that great in town
In November 1997, only five months after my high school graduation I got into a very minor, not my fault, car accident with my 1984 CRX my parents had gotten me for graduation (I'd hate to see what would have happened if it was major). The...

Pros: Styling; plastic body; interior versatility; mpg; quiet smooth stable ride; engine accessibility; interior room
Cons: Dash/trim cheaply done; unfriendly HVAC controls; unfriendly brake fluid reservoir
The Bottom Line: If you want good power, great reliability, easy maintenance and cheap/readily available parts, good smooth quiet stable ride, and don't mind some slightly shoddy trimwork, it's a winner.
I have always wanted one of these vans since they came out when I was a kid. But three potential things, being power (3.1 TBI was always bashed as being a weakling), gas mileage (rated at 18/23 and some said they got even lower), and engine ...

Pros: Roomy, comfortable, cheap, sufficient power
Cons: 10 years old now. Starting to break down.
My wife and I needed a four door family car after having our first baby in 1997. After some research and speaking to owners of these cars, the Chevy Lumina was something that we thought we would take a closer look at. After scanning the newspapers, we...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Low cost of operations. Great ride, sound system, seats and composite body.
Cons: Clear coat on black is fried. Would like more headroom and leg room.
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this vehicle or it's Pontiac twin. It is one of the nicest car based mini-vans out there!
I bought this vehicle as a sales vehicle to get me out to the jobs, and to use it as a moving billboard. I bought it cheap, expecting to replace it in a short while with something newer. I added it to a fleet of Astro vans. I was genuinely pleased with ...

Pros: Dependable Attractive Van with Room for Anything and Will Not Dent!
Cons: Undersized Brakes and Air Conditioning
The Bottom Line: Perfect Family Van, Highly recommended!
This is a Mini Van I am Proud to own. I love the look of this van…everyone refers to it as a shuttle craft.
The body panels are plastic/fiberglass combination that does not dent. Coining the phrase All Plastic Vehicle as the reason for the...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Inexpensive, reliability
Cons: Repair costs are high, cabin is cramped, brakes need to be repaired often
The Bottom Line: Brakes need to be replaced often, seats are cramped for a tall person, reliability is solid, but would recommend a different car.
First off, for the price, a 1990 Chevrolet Lumina is a decent car to consider. Consumer Reports has given this model kind reviews for as long as I can remember. This car is sufficient for everyday driving and would be good for a person who is...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable, roomy, body and paint hold up well
Cons: Brake problems
The Bottom Line: Get it - good for students who need to travel with lots of stuff. Get one without high mileage or bad brakes, though.
This car has been a tank! It will go through anything and keep on running. We recently had over a foot of snow, and my car had absolutely no problems plowing through where snow plows hadn't had a chance to get to yet. The only problem I've really had...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: 4 doors, great AC, good gas mileage, spacious and comfortable
Cons: little things are falling apart, looks like a grandma car
The Bottom Line: Overall, we've made a good purchase, I think this car will be around for quite awhile
We bought this car in March of 2001. We had just had our second child, and we needed something with 4 doors, and more room. We bought it from an elderly man that had owned it since it was brand new. Though it is 11 years old, it only had 91,000 miles...

Its only the right thing to do afterall. We bought her at 5 years old and have had her for 5 years. We really could have been a lot kinder to her. Changed her oil more often, washed her and not let her live in a place where the salt on the roads...

Pros: Good performance
Cons: Five dashes, five sets of brakes, and five computers
The Bottom Line: If there was a "HE** NO I DON'T RECOMMEND," I would mark that.
After having our family car wrecked, a 1989 Ford Escort, my parents wanted a new vehicle. Without too much research, they bought a Chevy Lumina show-room-floor-new. Man, what a headache.
I was too young to get to drive the car, but I wasn't...

Pros: It did its job as a family van
Cons: Build, Looks, Performance, Seats
We bought this van in 1990 and got rid of it earlier this year. It serviced us well for at least 200,000 miles. We had taken numerous road trips. Sometimes we would haul stuff with the seats removed. The van didn't break down considering how much we...

Pros: smooth ride, LOUDDDDD, nice seats, roomy, drove safe, this car lasts (190000 miles!)
Cons: sub-frame, rust-rust-rust, gas tank, brakes, rear sup-leaf
The Bottom Line: good car for high-school beater, not good for long-term
I owned my Lumina Euro 3.1 Liter for a little over a year about 3 years ago. It was a really nice car, even with 190000 miles on it, i had to replace alot of parts in the front suspension when i first bought it and the brakes had to be replaced (4 ...
