We found little to disappoint us during our road test of the Lumina Minivan. Whether on rough or smooth surfaces or through a variety of travel-weaving, fast cornering and panic breaking-the results were uniformly good for a minivan.Acceleration and passing power from our Lumina's 3.8-liter, sequentially fuel-injected V6 seemed equal to any other minivan we've tested, but the noticeable amount of engine noise during acceleration reminded us we weren't driving a car.
Similar attributes included a comfortable but stiff ride, and secure but far-from-effortless maneuvering
But do all these traits in performance and handling add up to a flawed vehicle? Far from it. Although we initially expected more sophistication, our Lumina gave us a feeling of control over the road. In addition, the standard four-wheel anti-lock braking system performed impeccably.
