super j, that van toyota van was my first car. i recieved it fucked up and would only get about 20mpg (i doubt i recorded it acurately) i remember packing it woth ten people
and i couldnt accelerate up the hwy onramp, lmao. blowj headgasket and then we let the mice eat it in tie backyard before we sold it
off to guatemalans packing a shipping container.

previa van, my friend has one and said it was a huge mistake as repairs
are
expensive and complex on there

everyobe i know with an mpv seems happy with one.
i think about how a minivan is supposed to
hold 7adults plus luggage 7*(150+50)= 1400lbs of cargo ... thats a lot of hauling capacity. surely all my gear is way less than that

i definitly do not need 4x4 as it seems to typically be a huge drag on gas mileage

my mom's previa was a great van. we had it for about 5 years and it never broke down or gave us trouble. it took us all over the southwestern states, from cali to east texas with no problems.

and i drove it like a hotrod. i never knew they were supercharged from the factory but that explains why it was so much fun to drive and never had trouble on the highways

I get 20-22 in my 4wd which is better by far than anything else I've had for a long time
