Sturdy, reliable, and inexpensive, the 1997 Chevrolet Lumina does what its marketed to do: Work! It may shock you that the Lumina has been in the top ten selling cars several years in a row. It does this without a lot of the fanfare of other cars out there, but a good car at a good price will always be in demand.
The 1997 Chevrolet Lumina also scored extremely well in crash tests. It’s one of the top performing cars in the standard government crash tests and is well above average in real world crash results as well. The Lumina protects its occupants.
All luminas have the “PASSKEY” system that disables the engine if someone tries to start the car with the wrong key. As a result, Luminas have the lowest rate of theft among all luxury sedans. This is one less thing to worry about with the 1997 Chevrolet Lumina.
The 1997 Chevy Lumina introduced a few nice additions:
-The automatic sensors that turn up the daytime running lights as darkness falls or as you drive through a tunnel. You will find this in many new cars today, but in ’97 this was a nice innovation on Chevrolet’s part.
-An indicator to tell you when to change your oil. This adjusts not only by the length of time between oil changes but also based on the type of driving you do. If you do most of your driving in start and stop city traffic the light will come on quicker.
These are a couple of reasons why the 1997 Chevrolet Lumina gets high marks from me. Go ahead and see for yourself.
