1997 Chevrolet Lumina Base review from North America
"It is a fantastic value as much car as you get for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small intake manifold leak.
The lifters are now making noises. I got some lubricant for it and it now isn't making noises.
General comments?
The car is very quick and responsive when the petal is pushed.
It is quite comfortable for my big size, as I am 6'3 and 330 pounds.
The transmission works very well with quiet performance and perfect shifting.
