1990 Chevrolet Lumina Euro Sport review from North America
"A great car if you have the time to invest in it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked head and engine block when I bought it. I replaced it with a 3.1L out of a 1992 Euro Sport.
Spark plug cylinder stripped out after a few weeks.
1 alternator replaced.
New fuel injector seals.
New front end after a collision at about 25 miles per hour.
Now needing new rear struts and a new radiator.
General comments?
It's an extremely fast car for a four door. Tops out at about 120 miles per hour, not that I've had it that fast. The engine has been pretty reliable for the mileage it has on it and the fact that its 13 years old. The body's still in great shape, two minor rust spots on the driver side door hinge. Repairs can become a bit pricey even with a family mechanic doing the labor for free. I have it all over the speedometer and it has as much power at 70 miles per hour as it does at 20.
