1993 Toyota Previa LE review from North America
"Great family vehicle; easy on the pocketbook"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasional leak in rear differential -- especially if the air vent is clogged.
The drive for the front accessories went -- replaced earlier by previous owner under warranty.
General comments?
Handling was pretty reasonable for a van, though somewhat underpowered -- basically acceptable.
The interior cabin is comfortable, but not opulent.
This van never skipped a beat as far as reliability went.
Mileage OK, but not great (28 mpg highway or so).
A cool little oil reservoir up front sucks up more engine oil if it's going low, though even at 250K didn't use much oil at all.
No real shakes and rattles developed.
Body panels are rust resistant.
Nice van!
