The stereo packed up (which was aftermarket, so you can't blame Toyota).
The van handles exceptionally well for a family bus, and is no slouch when you put you foot down.
The interior is well thought out, and easy to clean (a must when you have kids).
The manual gearbox is notchy in use, and will not be hurried through a gearchange. It's still miles better than an auto..
What is wrong with an Automatic? One 1996 Previa I have driven in particular that had done 101,000 miles and the Automatic gearbox jerked when stationary when you selected drive or reverse, but nevertheless on the move it felt fine.
All automatic gearboxes notch whilst shifting between the neutral gate and drive / reverse. That's not a fault.
I own a 1991 Previa LE 160,000 miles and a 1993 Previa S/C DLX with 216,000 miles and love them both. The mid-engine design is a superior feat of engineering. Both are very dependable and use no oil. I am looking for the AWD model to round out my collection.
