I bought my lumina in October 2008 and I have already had an oil and radiator leak. The gas mileage is horrible, it's a very loud car with no power and it seems every time I go and get my oil changed they tell me another thing wrong with it. The interior is falling apart and on a rainy day the interior fogs up horribly, even with defrost on. I hate my car.

I got my 1998 Lumina 5 years ago from my Grandmother, who bought it new. It had 44,000 miles on it when I got it and is now at 81,000 miles and runs great! I have had routine maintenance done on it and had to replace a fuel injector (got clogged from sitting-my grandmother hardly drove it). No major engine or transmission problems, runs smooth and is very comfy. It gets great gas mileage and is perfect for short or long trips. I trust my Lumina more than my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, which is 3 years newer. Absolutely love this car and will keep it until it falls apart, put it back together and drive it some more. Couldn't ask for a better vehicle!

I'm a student a got this Lumina for $1500. It has high mileage 180000+ but runs great. A lot of power, very reliable, with reasonable gas mileage. I bought it Sep 2008 used for more than 10 years. Bought for winter and thought that I'll have to leave for parts after that. It still runs great and I decided to keep it, nothing changes except battery.

have owned for 3 years.the 3.8 liter engine is a dream.not the raciest motor made,but strong and reliable.the interior is low-rent.the front seats are backbreakers on a long trip,the leather is cheap.typical weak GM brakes.handles acceptably,good transporter for daily use.
