1992 Toyota Previa GX review from UK and Ireland
"Huge, reliable, comfortable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dealer-fit air con failed 3 times (refills).
Idle went hay wire.. just a cable that needed adjusting.
Cooling pipe rusted through, causing a leak.
Radiator got scaled up, causing overheating (almost certainly caused by the amount of tap water that went through the system during the above leak period).
Toyota badge on the back lost its chrome!
General comments?
Very reliable, apart from the dealer-fit air con.
Fast enough, for an 8-seat MPV, and cruises well on the motorway.
Reasonably comfortable ride for passengers on country roads.
Lots and lots of space to separate squabbling children & accommodate luggage.
Fairly expensive to fuel and service.
Basically, if you need a car this big, it's brilliant, if you don't, you'd do better with something cheaper and more agile.
