Advantages: Big boot, lots of space, lots of comfort. Disadvantages: Lack of grip in cold weather, lack of ummmph when overtaking.
and once you get over the fact that the indentations along both sides are not in fact huge dents that you've made reversing between brick pillars, you can appreciate these features too.
One of the great things about the Previa T Spirit is that it is quiet to drive. It doesn't have the roar of a diesel because it runs on unleaded fuel. Even at 80mph on a motorway, the car is noticeably quiet. The engine is a 2.4 litre and around town only manages around 21mpg but on longer motorway runs 30mpg is quite possible. It has an enormous tank holding 75 litres of fuel, draining your credit card to the tune of around £75 if you run it dry. I never like to run dry though and I never do. It has a BHP of 154 if that is of interest to you
♦ Driving the car ♦
Since we replaced my nice little car with a more sporty -hubby having a mid ...
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: * passengers, lots of load space, Luxury and comfort Disadvantages: only one rear access side door, engine mounted under passenger seat

My wife is only qualified to drive automatics, so this really was the only vehicle for us, as the passenger/load capacity is ideal, and the 2.4GS comes with an automatic gearbox.
Driving the car is a dream, at 70MPH you can hold a normal level conservation with all passengers, and the two front seats are the "Captain" type seats with armrests.
The suspension is excellent, it asorbs most road bumps and conditions with ease, and makes light work of speed bumps.
Having had this car for 3 months I can only find two minor things I dislike.
1: The access for the passengers is Via a sliding side door, which means I have to make sure that side of the car is always kerbside when i park.
2: The engine is mounted under the floor, and to access it, you have to remove the front passenger seat.
Apart from that I can whole heartedly reccomend this ...
