Toyota Previa 2.4 GS 5d Auto (8 Seat) (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
GS is an excellent car to drive but not very well-specced for such an expensive motor - eg no CD.
Costs
Average mpg over six months mixed motoring is about 30.

On the road
Driving
Great car to drive - eats up the miles. Rear visibility poor due to obtrusive rear headrests. Nips and tucks surprisingly easily around town. Some design irritations - eg no flap on sunvisor mirror.
Performance
2.4 engine very willing, even with auto. Effortless motorway cruising. Drives like a car not a van.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet (after nine months).
Image
Distinctive looks for an MPV, but it's no head-turner
Comfort
Cavernous 'lounge-style' interior, lots of storage. Good boot space even with seats right back. Easy getting in and out, esp in front where the dash-mounted auto gear-change makes walk-through easy.
