1993 Chevrolet Lumina Euro/Sedan from North America - Comments

Body/Model: lite gauge metal dents easily.

Chassis: replaced a nut and bolt rear anti-sway bar. It now needs struts & shocks.

Brakes: all 4 stock calipers rust @ the pistons. Causing poor brake performance (must keep checking @ pad replacement)

Engine: replaced: timing chain 1, alternator 3, distributor shaft cover leak 1, starter 3, motor mounts 1.

Transmission: Dealer said needed replacement $3000.00 (I didn’t think so) so I had it serviced and BAM it’s been fine since then (@ least 100000K) and still going.

Recently: Catalytic Converter,

Clean and Mean! But some say it looks like Grandmas car! How bout the lil old Lady from Pasadena? YEAH Buddy except she had a superstock Dodge with a tiger in her tank!

Originally a 300+ Hp. design GM decided to Re:chip the computer down to 210 Hp. Two reasons

1: Competition for the Camaro (not good) the lumina cost less for the Hp it provided.

2: They could’nt design a transmission that could handle the 300+ Hp. for the front wheel drive in time for Marketing.

Excellent handling with low profile design & 60/16 tires - it really bites the road.

Now in the USA, the 2002 Pontiac GTO is actually the “Lumina SS Coupe” from Australia Designed after the Holden Monaro.

These are typically very good vehicles, if they are taken care off!! A lot of things this person mentioned are normal things that have to be replaced on a vehicle, like struts. a vehicle either has stuts or shocks. not both. timing chain. brakes and calipers, after time this all wears out. Typically when you beat a vehicle all these parts seem to wear out a lot faster than they should.

My mother bought a 1993 Lumina Euro brand new drove it for 10 years then gave to me and and the only major problem we have had out of it is the paint chipping off other than that I have put an alternator on it and a battery in it butt it still runs and drives like a new car I love it and don't have anything bad to say about it at 158,000 miles it still runs great too bad they don't make them anymore I would go buy a new one.
