1994 Toyota Previa GX review from UK and Ireland
"Don't buy high milers, otherwise a good, fun, practical family bus"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator collapsed at 115,000 miles £200.
Tailgate strut failed. £85 dealer part.
Head gasket blew at 116,000 miles £150.
2 pistons broke, ruined all 4. £1600.
Gearbox disintegrated. £950.
General comments?
The car was great for the first 2 years, flexible seating, loads of room for 3 kids a dog and luggage.
Then it all went wrong, radiator corroded internally and the rest went within 3 months. Dealers in Essex area were OK, bit pricey, but better than Henry's boys.
Most work undertaken at private garage.
Saved me about £2000, still cost too much to justify it's good points.
