Great 2nd car!

I love my '97 Lumina! I needed a 2nd car, then found out a friend was about to junk his. Excellent comfort, nothing wrong with it! No a/c, who cares, everything else works. Fun to drive. It has over 120,000 miles.

Great daily driver

Fun car to drive around. I disconnected the muffler and added a cold air intake, it's a very nice sounding v6. It can hit 107mph no problem. The only problem I've had is the rust on the rear wheel wells and on the bottom.

Sad it's gone

This was my first car and I loved it. It drive nicely and was great on gas. Enough room for my children to sit safely. I named the car big Bruce so reliable I have it a name.

She has been great to me

As far as looks go, I'm not too keen on it. But there's a lot more power than you'd expect and very reliable. Also has quite a bit of space for a car.

Best car I've ever owned

I think this car is one of the best cars ever made. The outside was designed like a classic car but was so comfortable. Lots of room and had wonderful convenientses like power windows and rear window defrosters. I have no complaints about it except that it got rusty when I wanted to keep it forever.

Old but Reliable

Sure, this car may be old, but it's much more reliable than a lot of modern cars that I've seen. Apart from the reliability, this car has a VERY smooth ride. You barely feel a bump in the road. Overall, it might look old, but it's very reliable.

Best Car

This car is the most reliable ever. Had a 99 Honda CR-V in which all the power locks etc broke after a few years. This car in 2017 is like brand new. Hardly any money put into this car with at least 130,000 miles and counting. Very reliable.

Good, solid car

This was a deceased Grandmother's car. It was a program car with 18,000 miles on it when she bought it in 1998, now has 100,900. She literally only drove it to church and grocery store. The interior is in fine shape, no stains, wear and tear. Front wheel drive so good on snowy streets
