Chevrolet Lumina SS

[f22raptor]

I know it is out of production since 2013.

Reviews back then were good except for fuel consumption which is at 15L/100km due to the 6.0L engine.

Anyone had experience with the car? Saw a 2013 pristine one with just 25 000km

I drove a modded one for 2 months and did a trip from JHB >Durban > PE> EL> Cape Town then back to Jozi.

Pros:
1) The seats are freakishly comfortable and I think are made for the slightly larger adult (I felt small in the seat).
2) Comfy on long journeys
3) It's got a massive boot and can easily sit 4 adults in comfort
4) Glorious Sound and has some crackle and pops on the overrun
5) It was enjoyable cruising and driving the car slow
6) Skids are mad enjoyable and easy
7) Great torque
8) It's reliable. The original owner did +80k km never had an issue.

Cons:
1) Fuel consumption. Realistically I got above 20L/100 around town. Best I got was 11L (as a challenge but mostly coasting downhill)
2) Interior build quality is typical chevy plasticy poo
3) Infotainment system is trash but never cared because the exhaust made up for it
4) Gearbox is one of the laziest responding auto's I've ever driven but it kinda suited the car.
5) At highveld, it's probably slower than most modded turbo cars.
6) Mine had the brembos fitted but still felt like it needed more stopping power.

Would I get one again? Probably. It's a fun car for very little money.
