1998 Chevrolet Lumina review from North America
"I've loved the 45,723 miles I've spent with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went bad after about 100,000 miles on it.
Compressor went bad at about 190,000.
Some things (like the clip to hold the visor) have fallen off.
General comments?
This has been a fairly reliable car. It handles decently, and accelerates well too. My dad used to drive it as a company car, and at about 165,000 miles it was mine, and still is now at almost 211,000. It gets decent gas mileage still today.
I don't think I would recommend this car to anyone, because you couldn't find very many of them under 100,000 miles, but it has been dependable for me.
