What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Toyota Previa

"Our PREVIA has been fabulous for 20 years."

"If Enzo Ferrari ever dreamed of building a mini-van, he would have designed it in America, built it in Japan, and called it Previa. I gave my wife a new Previa 20 years ago and it has been the lowest cost, most reliable, fun vehicle we have ever owned. Its serviceability has been virtually bullet- proof. The most expensive single item we have had was to use an expert to replace our vehicles paint, and restore its original eye-appeal. With its 50% front x 50% rear weight distribution, laid-flat mid-engine design platform, and lowest center of gravity of any van ever built, the Previa remains far ahead of its time. The horizontally mounted 2.4L power plant has double overhead camshafts, Roots style supercharger, and carefully designed aluminum tuned exhaust system come together to make the Previas handling characteristics and driving experiences the envy of many a sports cars. The interior space is huge. It has a flat floor and 4 rotating captains chairs, which allow for easy access from the front to back. Theres enough room to travel with the whole family including our pets, and turn road trips a real joy."

"Fantastic vehicle, long live the previa"

"Still running strong after nearly 240,000 miles the transmission shifts smooth as butter, I've owned mine for 3 years, I enjoy doing the work that many car owners put off or pay no attention to, aside from normal wear and tear, I have had few if any unusual problems that cannot be prevented with attention. Very strong engines, Sad to hear many of these are going to the junk yard I would buy them all if I could, the dash and field of view is unmatched. With a little patience and passion I believe I'll make it to a million miles."

"91 Previa"

"I bought my 91 Previa with 196000 miles on it and other than needing a carpet cleaning ,new front struts ,and cleaning out the throtal body(the metal part where the air is introduced to the engine located under the drivers seat) which i did myself for about 6.00 for the cleaner at my local parts store and about 30 to 40 min. of time. I get 17 mpg city and 22 mpg hyw, not as good as you would expect from a 4 Clyinder but for the power and room not bad. over all i give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. So if you are thinking of buying a Previa GO FOR IT !!! (If the price is not over Retail) Signed WEB_KAHUNA_NEIL oh yea it now has 215000 on it."
