1994 Toyota Previa LE review from North America
"Previas are strong well built machines that can hold a ton of goodies or people"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power lock switch does not function.
The oxygen sensors (there are two) have both failed, causing the "check engine" light to illuminate.
Both upper ball joints have failed.
General comments?
With as many miles as this vehicle has, I'm not surprised that there are a few issues here and there. The engine pulls strong and the transmission shifts well. The size of the cargo area and convenience of the rear seats attracted me to this model. The mid row bench seat has to be removed like most other mini vans, but the back seats fold down and out to the sides against the window. This is very simple to use, unlike other mini vans. Once the mid bench and back seats are out of the way, the inside is like a black hole; it swallows anything near it! I was able to stuff a small refrigerator AND a stove into this van and I was still able to close the door. If you own a home or small business of your own, there is nothing better than the convenience and versatility of the Previa.
