1993 Chevrolet Lumina Euro review from North America
"Value for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ongoing problems with air leaks around the rims as they are aluminum mags on the Euro.
Alternator replaced at 160k which is fairly normal.
Interior trim under the windshield is lifting due to summer heat.
Working under the hood can be difficult depending on what you are trying to access. Chevy went for looks under the hood as opposed to practicality. Fortunately there has not been too much work under the hood.
General comments?
Overall this car has been very reliable. It offers a good sized engine which is responsive and good to go.
The steering and suspension tends to be a little loose, although my struts are probably in need of replacement at this mileage.
It figures GM decided to axe the production of this car just as it's reliability began to prove itself.
