1993 Chevrolet Lumina Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car is beautiful. And going on 20 years old, she still get to highway speeds with no problem. Pretty decent interior, but missing a few amenities (cup holder??). So satisfying to drive. Very responsive acceleration and braking. Long front end means I have to watch the terribly designed entrances to some parking lots in my area (no lowering kit for me). Gas mileage is 22 - 27 mpg. Not too bad. Overall, a powerful car with a semi retro look and good quality. With good maintenence, she can last another 20 years.May 20, 2011

Performance is good, acceleration is relatively swift, and the brakes are good (the ABS works which is nice), with discs on all 4 wheels. Build quality isn't great on the inside. The dash coverin has warped and is peeling in places (around the windscreen heater vent and under the dash lip on the passenger side.), also the fuse cover in the glove box is broken and the trim panel in the footwell on the passenger side will not stay on. The car looks pretty good, with a pointy nose, 16" milled aluminium wheels and a spoiler it looks quite sporty. The interior is quite nice with front bucket seats, and a faux leather sports steering wheel, the rev counter adds to the sporty feel, though seems a little un-necessary in a car with an auto-box. On the whole, quite attractive. Gas mileage isn't bad, around 25mpg (US gallons are only 3.6 litres, and octane levels are lower 87, 89, 93) on 89octane gasoline. Maintenance has been relatively cheap so far, Oil filters, spark plugs and air filters are pretty cheap, as is the transmission fluid filter, though batteries are expensive by US standards at $89 (side post batteries seem to be more expensive). The car is relatively fun to drive. Some where between a family car and a sports car i guess. Though the fun factor is hampered by front wheel drive and an auto gearbox, though the 3.1 V6 does provide enough power.Jan 11, 2009

The Chevy Lumina is one of the best cars to come out in the past 20 years. I say this because the 93 lumina that my Aunt handed down to me that was purchased in 93 minus a few minor repairs has all of its original parts and has 265,00 + miles on it and still runs great with a few minor things that need to be repaired, but it is 15 years old and like i said it has 260k miles on and what car with that doesnt need a few things fixed on it. the car is comfortable to ride in and the interior is strong after 15 years of wear and tear, being used as a construction vehicle it still looks great.Oct 04, 2008
