Owning a Toyota Previa/Estima/Lucida/Emina

This guide pertains to ONLY 1990 - 1999 models.The good pointsa. The wide body Previa is the most spacious MPV on the market without a doubt (and yes I have driven the Chrysler Grand Voyager and Kia Sedona)b. Very comfortable to drivec. Drive very well if looked after.d. These are back wheel drive so no CV joint/boot issues as with the other MPV's on the market. (although the independent suspension models do have rear CV boots but as these run in one plane of motion they are pretty durable.) Actually one exception to this is the 4x4 versions that have CV joints on the front driveshafts.e. On the 8 seaters the rear seats fold down into a double bed.....very cool (7 seater variants are a bit limited when the rear seats are up)f. With all seats occupied there is still plenty of luggage space in the boot.g. Because of the space between the rear most seats and the rear window your passengers will be unlikely to suffer head injury if you are rear ended.The bad points1. The Petrol versions are known to blow head gaskets although this is not that common and spares are readily available.2. The diesel versions are well known for cracking cylinder heads, this is an expense issue to have resolved and can cost upwards of
