Lumina Van Has Served Me Well. — Last night I hit a big deer with my 1990 Lumina APV van. Sob. Love that van. It has always run well. What's not to like about driving a 16 year old car that always starts. I mean we've had our little problems over the years, but we're way out ahead. Believe it or not, I still have collision on it. The hood is cracked and has little tufts of fur coming out of it. Maybe a few Grateful Dead stickers will cover them up. Anyhoo, probably won't get squat for it. I'm so sad. This has been a great vehicle to move our daughter in and out of college every year. I was hoping to get 2 more years out of it, then throw a party! They just don't make 'em like they used to.

1990 Chevrolet Lumina Euro 2 Door Coupe / V6-3.1 ~ Sporty Cruiser — It's a nice comfy ride with some sporty features.... has potential to be a head turner. It seems relatively easy to work on. The rear spark plugs are hard to get to but can be accessed by rotating the engine forward... but even then... I like the V6. My experience is that it gets good gas mileage and is durable when cared for. The timing chain is it's achilles heel. If it breaks... the valves get wrecked. It would be a good idea to get it changed at about 100K miles. The Overdrive transmission is smooth and a pleasure to drive. The Brakes are excellent and are good for a smooth stop, or an emergency lock up as well. It has a relatively smooth ride. Mine always gets compliments for that when driven by others. You can get these cars for a song. With just a little Love and Care, the '90 Chevy Lumina Euro Coupe can be a Fun and Enjoyable Ride to Fix Up, Dress Up, and Cruise any type of road in. Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros:
Sporty with a decent comfortable ride. Feels like it has some nice power. Good Breaks - 4 Wheel Disc. I very much like the Overdrive Transmission. Lots of Trunk Space.
Cons:
On the 3.1 V6 - The Timing Chain... if it breaks, while the engine is rotating in any way, by starting, or running... the valve train will get wrecked, and it's a difficult job to do, or an expensive job to get done. Get The Chain before it Gets You! |

Where Has 158000 Miles Gone? By Brian
My lumina has been a great family car. It's been very dependable and still runs great. Besides the older styled look of the car, it's still in decent shape and rides nicely. The Lumina may not be t... Read More
Nice 4 Door Sedan By Janius
Although the outside looked very plain vanilla, inside it was very plush and comfortable. The 3.8 V-6 ran great and it was a surprisingly fast car. This was the first "over powered FWD" car I owned ... Read More
