Toyota Picnic Reviews

15 years and still like new. Paint, interior, transmission, engine, suspension and any fanny noise.

Nothing has broken down. Automatic gear quadrant lights intermittent; drive indicator light not going. Park brake light comes on when accelerating, goes off when desired speed reached. Recent service showed a loose air-con drive belt. One tyre replaced due to front wheels misaligned when car purchased.

The Toyota Picnic sold in New Zealand is made in Japan under the model name "Ipsum". The S version has twin sunroofs, alloy wheels, ABS, twin airbags, air-con and generally upmarket ambience's of metallic exterior and veluer interior. The vehicle is exceptionally quiet on the road with a high degree of comfort. Economy from the 2 litre Rav 4 motor is excellent with 32mpg city and 38mpg touring. Handling is of a 'laid-back' nature and suits its design use. Lounging room for five plus an additional rear seat more suited to two children. Seats can be converted to picnic tables or two full length beds.

Absolutely faultless.

Replaced tires at 42000 miles.

Replaced battery at 40000 miles.

The Picnic handles very well.

The Toyota CD player is very good.

Acres of space in the back.

It has now been all around France 3 times with 2 Adults & 2 children, roof box required.

The car is so comfortable over long mileage.

The auto version is a bit heavier on petrol.

Nothing.

Very pleased with every aspect of the Picnic. Very comfortable, responsive and reliable. The boot space when the back 2 seats have been removed is excellent when transporting items of furniture, rubbish to the tip etc. The only problem is lack of boot space when 2 adults and 4 children go on holiday - a roof boot is a must. A small price to pay.

Nothing to comment on.

The Previa is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I would recommend the Toyota Previa as a reliable family vehicle.

I sell Toyota vehicles for a living and prefer my old van to the new 2004.

As with previous Picnic the Fuel Gauge is, to say the least, temperamental.

Apart from this nothing has gone wrong at all, which is fantastic as this vehicle does approximately 30,000 miles per year on the motorway at speed, usually with 4 or 5 adults.

Radio is ample, but not brilliant.

A spectacularly fast MPV, fun to drive, comfortable, reliable, unfortunately has one hell of a stupid name.

I would recommend this vehicle to anyone, it may not have the flexibility of some of the more expensive in its class, but it definitely worth a try.
