I want a new car!!!!
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.
Reliable!
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!

Thought GM is always bad
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.
Road Warrior
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.
