Advantages: Big boot, lots of space, lots of comfort. Disadvantages: Lack of grip in cold weather, lack of ummmph when overtaking.
system isn't very exciting and sounds a bit tinny if you have the volume at anything other than low.
Other features which are great on this car are the electric mirrors, electric front windscreen, which makes defrosting the car a piece of cake, plenty of storage compartments, and did I mention the giant boot? There's central locking and the doors also lock automatically. This means that whilst you are stationary at lights or in a jam, nobody can jump into your vehicle or pinch stuff out of your boot.
Driving the Previa takes some getting used to. It is an automatic which makes it extremely easy to drive; give your left foot a break. The size of the vehicle means that despite its 2.4 litre engine, it doesn't pack a powerful punch when you put your foot down. It moves but it doesn't belt along. In fact it has a 0-60 of 11.2 seconds? zzzz ...
Advantages: Spacious and comfortable. Disadvantages: Thirsty.
I bought my Previa as a new import in August 2002 and I've loved it from the moment I first saw it! It took me a while to get used to the automatic gearbox, but pretty soon I found it a breeze to drive, with its high-up view and power steering. I was worried that I'd struggle to park such a big car (my previous car was a Rover 416i), but I've found it OK. The secret is to reverse into the space (something which I rarely did in the Rover as the view wasn't so good).
I've got three kids, plus I often do a school run with more. There is a middle row of three separate seats and two separate seats on the back row. I usually keep the centre seat on the middle row folded down, which improves the rear view (when there's no child in it, obviously!) The folded seat makes a nice tray with cupholders for the kids on either side. Even ...

Ciao members have rated this car review on average: helpful Review of Toyota Previa
Advantages: Amazing.. in all categories Disadvantages: door pockets too narrow
Back in 2006 I had left a Review on the old toyota yaris T-spirit 1.0. What can I say??? I have now upgraded to the new model and it's even better than the old one. At first I wasn't too conviced by the different shape but soon grew to love it. I call it my bubble now.
I find this car excellent in all ways. I'm a driving instructor so the selling feature at the time was knowing that I would be protected by 9 airbags! And trust me ...in my job that is very reassuring. I find that the clutch control is excellent. Its very hard to stall in it. Hill starts are a breeze and being a 1.3 its very nippy and won't let you down. Vey easy to manoevre both forwards and backwards. Holds corners very well indeed! Doesn't consume a considerable amount of petrol. As my learners have said "it looks cool"!
Again the driver's seat can ...
