1993 Chevrolet Lumina Coupe review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had to replace the alternator twice, and the door handle has broken on the driver's side, which was expensive to replace. Also, it's had a burst power steering pressure line, which was quite difficult to replace due to incredibly confined space under the hood, and an inoperative turn signal. The car now has around 82,000 miles on it.
General comments?
It's been a very good, reliable car, with the exception of the alternator problems. A word here: I have friends who also own Luminas and apparently the problem with alternators isn't restricted to my car, other Luminas also tend to eat alternators. Fortunately the alternator is a snap to replace. This car has never left me stranded at the side of the road and is a real pleasure to drive.
