1995 Toyota Previa S/C AWD review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. I mean absolutely nothing!
Sorry, that's not true, we replaced both front wiper blades for $5 each.
One thing; supercharger oil is way expensive from Toyota (even they admit that). Go to GM and get theirs for almost nothing.
General comments?
I swore I would never own a van. Three kids plus a dog changes everything. We needed space and I needed something unusual. The Previa fit the bill.
This van is incredible! Goes like stink, never breaks down, and plows through snowy roads long after the plows have gone home. the combination of AWD and perfect weight distribution (engine under the seats) are the secret.
The turning circle is unbelievable. Peoples heads turn when you cram it into a tight parking spot!
We get offers to sell it from complete strangers about once a month. Tradespeople love them for their utility and durability. Ours is loaded as it was originally a dealer demo unit and even with every option available nothing ever goes wrong.
After 300,000 km I decided to give it a tune up and the plugs appeared to be original! I swear Toyotas thrive on abuse!
"We'll sell when you pry it from my cold dead hands" says my better half and I couldn't agree more.
