It's a sleeper car so far. Aftermarket radio and speakers. Would like to get a little more performance. Needs different exhaust or none at all. Great gas mileage so far (20 City - 25 HW). Great handling for a car this size. Parts are a bit over priced if you go with Genuine GM.

it was good to me til i threw the tranny whilst going ~30mph. cheap car, so it was affordable

It has crappy acceleration, but it has new tires, belts, hoses, now 2 owners 92k miles, couple of dents and scratchs but hardly noticable, BIG trunk space.

Have had this car for 5 years and its been a very dependable auto till now. Like driving it and its not to bad on gas

Well, a '94 lumina looked like a box with wheels - the '95 lumina had the more modern curved look and actually held the look and feel way into 2000... Anyway, i treated that car like crap. I put it up on two wheels driving around a corner, i crashed it several times, and while i was doing 80 over a curved bridge (with no shoulder) the front axle came off (no joke!). Fortunately, the fact the axle was crammed under the car worked like a braking system and i pulled over as far as I could on the right lane.

So besides being some kind of secret military tank, the car had issues under the hood. I blew 3 gaskets in a period of 3 years!! I mean, c'mon! I know this type of engine had a tendency to blow them - but usually only once.  So the gasket would blow, and all the coolant would fly out of the car - fun stuff.

Other then that she was a great car until I jumped her over some train tracks. Would have ended out great if I hand't jumped over the tracks crooked. When I came down out of the air I drove into the curb that knocked the front end out of alignment.

Oh - and the trunk wouldn't shut after awhile. So I taped it down with duck tape. And once my friend got drunk and rammed into the passenger side door with his head. He meant to do it tho - not an accident.

So the car had been through a lot - but still wasn't ready to retire when I left it behind in 2005. (I had originally picked up the car as a used vehicle with 60k miles in '99 or '98). Someone actually came around and bought it off me for $500. Wow - what a trooper vehicle.
