1996 Chevrolet Lumina Base review from North America
"Sharp looking, and very reliable at a low cost"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint is awful. My car is white and the paint just won't stay on the car.
There is hardly any room to fit my legs. I'm 6'2", and I have a problem with where to put my legs in the car.
General comments?
This is my first car that I have owned. It is very reliable and other than the paint falling off, I've had no problems.
When I bought the car at an auction, the only service the car needed were the fluids to be changed as well as the spark plugs and wires.
I'm a kid so, I have put on a Flowmaster exhaust. The original was fine. Tinted the windows pitch black, and have put in a stereo system using MB Quartz speakers, and JL subs.
For some reason though I have not figured out why my sub vibrates all of a sudden. The RCA's don't tough the power cable and it only happens when the car is running. Other than that no complaints.
