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: 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: Sporty, Roomy, Fast
Cons: Color
I love my Lumina. When I was pregnant I had a 97 Firebird (yes I miss it). When I had my daughter I realized something. Sports cars do not have big back seats. It was very hard to fit her carseat in the back seat.
As much as I hated to, I sold...

I just purchased my 1995 chevrolet lumina. It has a 3.4 liter dohc v-6 with dual exhaust. I am a regular racer and many people put me down for buying a family car. But when we line up and I whoop them off the line, they aren't laughing as loud....

We have had our 1995 chevy Lumina for almost a year now and we love it. It is a very comfortable car and very roomy. Fits our family of 5 great. The radio in it is nice. I love the power windows, and power locks. It has the child safety feature in the...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
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: 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...

Pros: Powerful and reliable 3.1L V6, handles well in snow and ice. A good value.
Cons: Power door locks easily break, delicate interior.
We bought our '95 Lumina in '98 for $10,000. We thought this price a bargain for two reasons: My father and I believe Chevys are easy to maintain, and the previous owned took pristine care of the vehicle.
In the two years we've...

Pros: Reasonable price, reliable vehicle, roomy, cheap insurance rates
Cons: Cheap interior, transmission failed early
I purchased a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina in 1998 with 30,000 miles on it. I like that it's roomy, and handles well. Also, because older people typically drive this car, it has a good insurance rating. Gas mileage is decent. Interior cup holders suck...

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...

Pros: Roomy, rides well, low maintenance
Cons: pivot on drivers seat failed
I bought a used 95 Lumina in 97 and I’ve only had a few minor problems with it. The only problem of an consequence is that the pivot mechanism of the drivers seat broke about 10 months ago. Other than that and routine maintenance, I have not had to put...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: comfort, size, smooth drive
Cons: 6th seat not reasonably usable
The Bottom Line: As it gets up in miles and years it may need some work as with most cars. It doesn't fall apart though. Very comfy and roomy. Great for families.
We bought this vehicle based on a single test drive however the drive did not accurately show all the good points to the vehicle. I love the roomy and comfortable interior, it has plush bench seating that I have found to be more comfortable than any car...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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: Yes
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 ...
