1991 Toyota Previa LE review from North America
"A Van of Quality and Reliability that all other companies wish they could come close to"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed at 300,000km I blame myself I am running a Dual Battery System I caused excessive load from Constant Charging.
Heater Fan Switch failed at 375,000km.
General comments?
This Van is the best thing that ever happened to me as far as a vehicle goes. I have done nothing, but bare essential maintenance on this Vehicle. Although I do religiously Change the Oil at 4000 Km with a good brand of oil. Between oil changes it does not burn any at all. I have never added any oil to that reservoir system either. I don't even know if it works. The Quality of the seat material is great. with a shampoo these seats would clean right up. I have just purchased a 1995 Previa and I am sure I will get the same long life out of it too. the only reason I am getting rid of my old one is because I let the body go and its looking rough. The rest is running great. This is OK since I am going to Rape my old one for parts over time a lot of the same parts appear to be on the newer one.
