    2 years further on from 1st opinion, 100k & Toyota Previa is 7 years old now. Sticky rear door eventually fell off runner-after Toyota dealership "fixed it" with another shot WD40. Other rear door now going same way. £250 each side to get a door that works. Front discs again need replacing-£300. Air-con leaking from rear-up to £800 to sort. Best of all, front drive shafts apparently need replaced-£1300, but they,ll do it for £1100! Regularly serviced, not abused. Savanna referred to in previous review had 127k and 9 years old when we disposed of it & was still running around 5 years later, with no major mechanical failure. I don't buy into Toyota's vaunted reliability and this car is becoming uneconomic to keep on road.

    Will probably sell mine after fixing. Have got loss of power problem (turbo unit) which is going to cost £2000+ to fix! Seems to be general fault so would not recommend.

    Good car - sorry to see it go. The Toyota Previa is large, comfortable and reliable. Over five years I've done nearly 60000 miles and the kids have loved it. We've slept in it, and towed caravans and trailers with out problem.

    I've never been one for keeping a car for a long time but I've enjoyed owning this one. It has been a great work-horse, moving across continents with a trailer attached and family on board, and I'll be sorry to trade it in. I hope the next one is as reliable and cheap to run.

    Bought on Toyota reputation for reliability. No major mechanical disaster but heavy on tyres, front discs replaced under warranty at 30000 and again with rears at 60000. Sliding doors got sticky early on but only dangerously so near the end of the warranty period - one lock replaced under warranty but it only solved the problem for a few weeks and then it was out of warranty. Makes me wonder did they replace it or just throw in WD40. Lots of squeaks and rattles from trim. I also find a lot of ro ...

    First MPV I have owned or Toyota for that matter. So far in 10,000 miles I have encountered no real problems other than the above. D4D engine is responsive for size of vehicle and very economical on a run especially (40 mpg). Optional DVD ICE system is a hoot and SATNAV with the T-Spirit model is a boon and works well. Rear removable seats are heavy, but offer van like space once out. Dealer very experienced in Toyota range and very helpful with one or two minor teething problems. Loads of stora ...

    After 10k, my Toyota Previa 2.0 D4D has been back in 8 times, resprayed bodywork twice, alarm has been desenitsied that much it is useless, front tyres bald on the outside due to tracking problems or suspension, Toyota say that previas need new tyres every 10k, which is complete rubbish, inside front are like new and so are the back, paintwork is a nightmare look at it and it marks, do not buy one of these cars unless you want a headache.

    After driving 30K miles from new my experience of the Toyota Previa 2.0 D4D has been devistating. Moreover the absolute refusal of Toyota GB to do anything about the problems is unbelievable. The list pf items that have failed are legion and in precis are, alarm system, 20 alloy wheels, steering & suspension problems, clutch and universal joints and even the cigar lighter. Anyone who even thinks about buying this car should be very wary especially as Toyota BG are useless.
