1995 Toyota Previa GS review from UK and Ireland
"A serious people carrier, beware of pale imitations"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing at all.
General comments?
I think this is the only people carrier to get if you are serious about moving more than 5 people AND their luggage. It is spacious, comfortable and easy to drive. The engine is in the middle and under the floor - best place for it, out of the way and keeps the centre of gravity low (the first mid engined MPV?).
Servicing is best left to the specialists but all fluids are filled under the bonnet/hood which makes looking after it a complete doddle.
Watch out for the very heavy fuel consumption - only 15 mpg about town but it has got up to almost 20 mpg on a motorway trip.
A good secondhand buy, so long as you get an automatic. Forget the manual version as the gearbox is a complete dog.
All Previas seem to go on for ever and show virtually no sign of rust. BARGAIN.
