1993 Toyota Previa

Pros: Reliability, style, ease of use and care.

Cons: It needs more power! They don't import the Previa into the States anymore :(

The Bottom Line: If Toyota Motors bring Previa back into the States, I will be first in line to buy another one, no hesitations at all.

Review: Previa is the last of the line of mini-vans that the Toyota Motors Corporation manufactured in Japan. Our van has been through everything. Blizzards, desserts, cross-country trips (7 times!!!) and it is still a trooper. It is a shame Toyota does not sell ...

Pros: Rotating captains chairs
Comfortable
stylish
very practical
lots of room
very very dependable

Cons: windshield wipers are oddball and $40 each
SAD shaft repair can seem daunting

The Bottom Line: A great used van

Review: About 4 years ago I bought a 93 previa 4wd with 225000 km on it for $2500 canadian. It now (09) has over 400 000 km(~250 k miles) and it still doesn't burn oil.  When this van came out it's major fault was a very high price, but as a used van ...

Pros: Excellent design,& workmanship. Bulletproof engine. Commanding view riding position. Outstanding engine. Amazing interior space design.

Cons: They don't produce newer ones anymore. Front Propeller bearing will need replacement after many years.

The Bottom Line: Very highly recommended. Please see my review.

Review: The Toyota Previa is the result of extensive design and meticulous detail. Toyota's hardwork will always be remembered for this van. The design is so good that if you don't know the year model, you would mistake it to be the same as the new ones coming ...

Pros: quality, ride, the list goes on

Cons: big

Review: I will never forget the frantic, excited, borderline hysterical letter my Mom sent me when she got her "new" van. This was almost four years ago, so it was new-ER than it is now, but not brand, spanking, right-off-the-floor new, but,...

Pros: Comfort, Reliability, Space

Cons: Only 1 sliding door

Review: In 3/96, I borrowed a family friend's 1994 Toyota Previa to pick up a new dinette set. The ride was so smooth and the handling was so sharp but when it held all that furniture, I knew I had to have one! I finally found my 1993 LE in 8/96 - 4 years and...

Pros: Comfortable ride

Cons: Hard to get to engine

Review: I just bought this 1993 Toyota Previa Deluxe a couple of months ago. What a view, its like driving in a Winnabago. No wonder they called it Previa. Previa is an Italian word for "preview". I like the idea where the engine is located. Every...

Pros: Flexibility of interior, Ease of driving & decent gas mileage for size

Cons: Engine Power

The Bottom Line: These vehicles are not manufactured anymore as of 1997 but they are an outstanding vehicle with very long lifespan.

Review: Me and my wife purchased a 93 Previa which has 88K miles on the odometer. This is the first Japanese vehicle that we had ever owned and I've been totally loyal to U.S. Automakers. After a terrible experience with a Pontiac Montana then a Chevrolet...

Pros: LOTS of room!

Cons: takes a little getting used to short front end

Review: We needed something for our expanding family. We seem to have a lot of people with us a lot of the time. It holds large and small sizes. Plus cargo! That is a plus. I did research on what would be the best van for least repair and recall. Consumer...

Pros: Reliable, safe, lots of space

Cons: low gas milage

Review: My mother bought her 1993 Toyota previa new, and faithfully drove me and the rest of our family around in it for six years. Throughout these six years, it traveled over 100k miles, needed only one major repair, was very reliable, and was all around...

Pros: affordable, reliable, roomy, easy to drive

Cons: Blind spots, being used

Review: Our family just recently purchased a used 1993 Toyota Previa. It is the most perfect vehicle for our large family. Being used it has so many positive features. It is nice not having to worry about the door dings or how clean the inside needs to always...
