1995 Chevrolet Lumina plain review from North America
"This car is so amazing that I wonder if it's just a fluke, which would make me not buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes had to be redone.
The rear axle developed a crack and had to be replaced.
General comments?
I never thought I'd be defending an American-made car, but after reading the other Lumina reviews, I had to talk about mine. It was given to me, and I didn't want it because of the high mileage and because it was a Chevrolet. I expected nothing but trouble.
I do not pamper it all. It has only been tuned up once since I have owned it. It's lucky to get an oil change.
Nevertheless, this is and has been the best car I have ever owned. I am simply astonished.
Granted, the interior is not plush, but it's an inexpensive car. The driver's seat is hard, but the carpet and upholstery in mine have held up fine with 3 regular canine passengers. None of the plastic fixtures (door handles, cup holder, etc.) that you would expect to break early on have broken.
