Have had this car for several years and now have over 204,000 miles on it. Highway mileage is 30 + which on a car of this size and weight is good. The only drawback for me is getting in and out of the car, comfort while driving is good even though the seat is worn. Repairs have been minimal.

2001 Chevrolet Lumina 4dr Sedan (3.1L 6cyl 4A)

This is my second Lumina and is used as our primary family car. I believe it is very good on fuel relative to its size.

2001 Chevrolet Lumina 4dr Sedan (3.1L 6cyl 4A)

I have had this car for almost 5 years, the gas mileage on hiway for me is around 34 or 35 and city driving is around 25. I love my Lumina and have had very few problems with it. After all I bought it as an auction vehicle that was previously used for a rental company.

Great car - good MPG for a car this big

2001 Chevrolet Lumina 4dr Sedan (3.1L 6cyl 4A)

I bought this car used in 2003, and have driven it for about 15,000 miles a year since then. I have only had minor issues with the car including replacing brakes, new tires, and i had a fluke where the ignition switch had to be replaced one time. Overall i've been very happy with this vehicle, one of the most trouble free cars I've ever owned.
