Pros: Very spacious, smooth and silent, powerful and reliable, effective ABS.
Cons: Maintenance can get expensive, some fragile parts, some poorly designed aspects.
The Bottom Line: Only those who are interested in reliability should choose this vehicle, as this is the strong point of this model.
I received my beloved silver Lumina a couple of years ago from my father who couldn't manage to sell it and decided that I needed a car anyway. For the short time that I've had it, I have had next to no trouble with the vehicle. It has always started for ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Powerful 3.1L V6 engine, creature comforts, spacious, quiet ride
Cons: Electrical issues, major paint problems on white Luminas, will nickle and dime you.
The Bottom Line: Not recommended. No engine or transmission problems but other costs add up.
It's now been a year and half since I sold my white 1995 Lumina. However, it was my very first car after I got my license, so every detail about it is etched in my memory. While I am not driving it anymore, I can still provide a relatively accurate ...

Pros: Solid, lots of room, comfortable. Nobody will steal it.
Cons: Plain looks, bad sound system, too big for single car garages.
The Bottom Line: If you had to buy a used car, you could do a lot worse.
While I was in college a man lost control of his SUV and wrecked five parked cars...and pushed my car into another car. During the two weeks it took the insurance company to figure out the claim, I had a Chevy Lumina as a rental. Before I left for a ...

Pros: [see body]
Cons: [see body]
The Bottom Line: Good car, but be prepared to maintain it.
First off, I'd like to mention that my car has experienced about 85% in-town, stop-and-go driving. That said, here is the life story of my white 95 Lumina. My Grandfather gave us this one because our little red Toyota crapped out some years ago. ...

Pros: Nice family car, Nice car for 1st time drivers, Roomy
Cons: Many problems when she was older
The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend the one I had, definately. The car is OK for the most part, but there were many problems in the end. Be careful is buying it used!
My parents owned this car previously. They bought it brand new. They took good care of it, especially since my dad works at an Auto Parts store. By the time I was old enough to drive, they let me use it to get to and from school and work. I recieved ...

Pros: Sports Car performance, good ride, good looks.
Cons: Maintenance, Repair, Maintenance, Repair
The Bottom Line: Good vehicle as long as you get the 3.1 engine and have it checked over by a knowledgeable mechanic.
The Chevy Lumina is a great car, DEPENDING on which motor you get, and your driving style. I have several friends and family members who have or still have Luminas, but they all have the 3.1 motor in them. Most of their cars have well over 100,000 miles a ...

Pros: Great ride. Comfortable interior. Body style still looks like new models.
Cons: It can have head gasket problems with high miles.
The Bottom Line: We shopped a lot of makes and models before settling on this one. It's a great family car with a great ride.
We bought this car needing a head gasket. We got it cheap because of it. My husband did the work. Parts were around $300. We've never owned a nicer car. It gets about 27 mpg on the highway doing 65 mph, 24 in town. The factory sound system is...

Pros: Drives and handles well. Seat comfortable. Controls in plain view.
Cons: Has that police car look
The Bottom Line: I bought mind at 72,000. I have had only one major problem, an engine fluid leak. Beyond that it's been fine.
I bought this car at around 72,000. It was previously owned by my father who took excellent care of it. At around 78,000 miles I noticed what appeared to be a combination of motor oil and engine coolant leaking out of the engine block. I took it to a ...

Pros: Decent gas mileage, moderate power.
Cons: Had engine troubles at 83,000 miles.
The Bottom Line: With all the problems I had I would stay away from this vehicle.
I ended up buying my 95 Lumina off my fiancee since she wanted to get an SUV and I needed a vehicle at the time. I bought the car in August of 99 and it had approximately 50,000 miles on it. Had absolutely no complaints about vehicle until summer of...

Pros: mileage, smooth ride
Cons: door locks.
The Bottom Line: good value for the price
My 1990 Ford Taurus had served me well, hauling me all over the land with fairly little trouble. However, the seasons change and cars, even good cars, begin to show the ravages of time. At 180,000 miles, the ol' Taurus was ready to retire. Or die, I...

Pros: Great ride, right price, and a sleek style with room
Cons: Electrical problems
I purchased a 1995 Chevy Lumina in March of 1998. It was high in mileage, 67000, but just came off of a 3 year lease, so I figured it would be in peak condition. Just in case, I bought a warranty.
Well, it is now Oct. of 2000, 83000 miles, and I...

I wrote a review a few months ago about the Chevrolet Lumina since I've owned two and loved them. However, the trouble that my father is having with the Lumina he owns now is making me rethink my ideals about this model.
When my father bought...

Pros: Speed, power, shiny 16" tires
Cons: Repair costs
I bought a '95 Lumina LTZ in March of 1998 and still own it. I suppose I'm overly loyal to it simply because it's the first car I bought, but it's tough not to love it.
The car is a Lumina. The only real differences are subtle, 16" alloy wheels...
