Review
This is my fourth Lumina, 2 90's, one 95 and now the 98. They have all been great vehicles, very cheap to up keep as long as you maintain the vehicle properly, they are cheap to buy and find that they are more comfortable than most cars on the road, fuel mileage has been great with all of the vehicles, the interior is spacious but kind of bland but thats why the aftermarket world exists. I really don't like Chevrolet but this model name is the only one I will buy from them, it's too bad they stopped making them in North America. If your buying the car with the intent to fix it up or modify it, it has a lot of parts available in the aftermarket but you do have to search for them.

I own a 1998 Lumina sedan and it has been in my family since it was brand new. It is holding up nicely! It now has 180,000 miles on it and still starts right up and drives smoothly! Exterior is still in great condition as well. No major problems have occured yet with it, this whole time! Just the minor, cheap routine repairs. This 3.1L V6 is awesome. Too bad Chevy quit assembling the 1995-2000 generation of Monte's and Lumina's.

We purchased this car for the handling, horsepower and price. It had 25,000 miles on it at purchase. We've owned it since 1999, with no problems except brakes. With the sport tires this car drives like a sports car. At $200 each for tires, I purchased the cheaper Aquatread tires, don't do it. We finally need a bigger vehicle, and my wife doesn't want to give it up. It has been a great car for two kids, with a big trunk and enough separation in the backseat to keep the kids reasonable distance apart (a little less fighting).

I purchased this car for its safety ratings and its overall design. I did not want the "Soccer Mom" mini-van but on the other hand needed something big enough to get the job done. This car was it. It looks nice (rather sharp I think) I like the leather interior and the alloy wheels. I love the interior design for the most part. The major flaws are only one cup holder and the postioning of the ashtray (almost non existent). It is a little tricky with the brakes (abs) and I am having now problems with CV joints. Other than that, it's great!

I've had this car for about 18 months; it is not a race car, but fuel economy is good.(24-27mpg on avg) The only serious problem has been with the anti- lock brake system (sensor?) The ride and transmission are smooth. The exterior looks okay and is holding up well.

I bought this car thinking that I would
just keep a year or two. It was a used
car, but I love it. I usually drove
Dodge vehicles and just lost my Stratus
to a bad car accident. I have to say
this car is wonderful. I intially
thought it was a "Old lady" car. But
its sharp even at its age. I have to
say I lucked out it only had 15000
miles on it upon purchasing it. I
think its a very sharp car. It had all
the extras and even the rims are cool.
I have had other Lumina owners
say "wow" I wish I had all those
options. It looks more like a Monte
Carlo on the inside and it mentions
that on the orignal sticker and the
title.

I have driven this vehicle for 77000
of its 103000 miles. Only parts to be
replaced over its lifetime are
ignition key lock cylinder and the
generator. Other than this there have
been no problems. The vehicle has just
had its mandatory annual state
inspection and passed flawlessly. It's
a good car. Too bad they stopped
manufacturing them!

Just recently sold to my best friends
mother, so it would stay in the
family. Very good car, always started
right up even sitting in frigid
Indiana winters outside all night.
Never had any problems besides very
minor issues.Hate to get rid of it,
but got a new SUV.This car got us back
and forth on several vacations, and
drove great on ice and snow.

Car has been a work horse for 6-years.
Very dependable with little to no
maitance (expept oil changes).
Actually went 135K miles before
changing the plugs and was still
getting 28 mpg on the highway.
Body design and interior leave a bit to
be desired, but all in all a very good
value over the course of the six years.

Review
Bought used with 75,000 miles. Had to
replace the turn signal assembly on the
steering wheel due to inoperative brake
lights. Engine has very noisy metallic
sound when started cold. This is a
known defect. Noise goes away when
engine warms up. Fuel gauge is useless.
It is not accurate at all. Cup holder
is broken due to flimsy design. That
being said, the car is reliable all
around. Nice quiet and solid ride. This
is the best chevy product I have owned,
but my next car will be a Toyota Camry.
