TOYOTA PREVIA MINI VAN INFORMATION


About the Toyota Previa

The Toyota Previa entered the market in 1991, when minivan sales were just starting to take off. It was meant to compete with popular American offerings, like the Dodge Caravan. The Previa is best-known for its unusual styling, and is instantly recognizable. 

The Toyota Previa had an unusual layout, with the mid-mounted engine located under the front seats and  the alternator and cooling system located under the hood. The result was a well-balanced van, but it meant that the Previa could not accept a larger engine. It also meant that repairs were very expensive. 

The Previa was available in a large amount of trims--in some years up to six. It was also the first van to pass all U.S. safety standards.

The Previa had a loyal following, but most unadventurous minivan shoppers passed the egg-shaped Previa over in favor of more conventional vans. It was discontinued in 1997 to make way for the Sienna, which has more mass market appeal.

The 1993 Previa that I own came with Rear-wheel Drive, Four wheel disc brakes standard.
4 Cylinder 138 horse power 2.4 liter engine and Automatic Transmission with overdrive.

The Previa has more interior room than the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. 
I chose my Previa for the reliability. If you google Previa owner reviews.
I was very impressed with the great reviews. That made my it easier to invest in a 20 year old van.
I've been very happy with my Previa. Hopefully it will provide me many years of reliable transportation, Please comment and share your Previa story on this blog. If you don't have a Previa, that's ok share your van story, weather it's of road trip or how you have customized your van to fit your needs. Thank you.
