Value
It has a decent amount of equipment, but for this price I would have expected a CD player as standard.

Only trip to garage has been for standard first year service which was fine.

Driving
Excellent ride and handling from such a large vehicle which is at home on country roads as well as motorways. All around vision is brilliant with large wing mirrors makes it easy to drive and park. Seats are comfortable with armrests on the front seats.
Performance
This is not a performance car but nor is it underpowered. In normal driving conditions, it performs well. Sometimes the autobox doesn't kick down as quickly as you may wish, but overtaking is not usually a problem. More power could make it better.

Living with it
Reliability
This is the most reliable car I have ever had (besides the other two Toyota's I have had in the past).
Image
Toyota Previas have an excellent image in comparison to its competitors, especially for reliability, though it doesn't come high in the excitement rankings. As such, it must be the perfect MPV.
Comfort
Plenty of room for all eight occupants (and their luggage). Seats are firm but comfortable. Climate control works well.
