Oh god. The Previa was a horrible minivan. Compared to the competitors, it had a very strange style, weak engine, poor mileage, and high pricetage.
The Previa was the greatest mini-van ever built.
The styling was amazing, sure it looked a little weird, but it was unique in its own way, and was more aerodynamic .
The engine was a beast and wasn't even that weak seeing as how it could tow 3500 lbs. Compared to its competitors? Its competitors were horrible and were all american To compete with the competition they added a supercharger to it on all stock models after 94 and made the engine stronger. Upped the HP by about 20/25 horses.
Poor mileage? if 20 mpg is poor mileage to you then you have a problem, most cars today get a little above 20 mpg, 20 mpg during the 90's was pretty good.
High Price tag? My dad bought his brand new for about 25k. Today a brand new Sienna sells for about 28/30K so the price hasn't changed.
On top of all this, that van was mid-engine, came supercharged, came in a standard transmission, was one of the first vans to introduce the 3rd seating fold down, and last but not least they last forever and are incredibly strong.
My van lasted 243,000 miles and was still going strong, others have experienced mileage over 300k, 500k and 700k miles!
Lastly, my car was totaled by getting T-boned by an 18 wheeler and I survived!! Everything was in great shape mechanics wise, the only thing damaged was a door, some windows and the frame of the car a little bit, but mechanics were unharmed.
