1998 Chevrolet Lumina Base review from North America
"Good car for college student"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
"Service Engine Soon" light is on, but car runs fine.
Seats already worn.
Tires are bad.
Color is gone from steering wheel, should be tan, is black.
Brakes make noise when reversing. I think it is a rotor or caliper.
Rear armrests on rear door are completely gone.
General comments?
I recently purchased this car. I do believe it was abused and not maintained.
This car has manual windows, and mirrors. The only power acessory is the door locks.
This car gets great gas mileage and is quiet.
Despite noisy brakes with no ABS, this car stops great.
Not as good as my totaled 1997 Dodge Intrepid with 159,000 miles. Quality in Intrepid was better.
