Summary
After our road test, we were still unsure of our opinion of the Previa All-Trac LE. It was wonderfully designed and smartly appointed, and the liquid handling and plump suspension made it more fun to drive than any other minivan we've tested. It had plenty of room, but it was disappointingly low on power.Granted, those who make up the minivan market generally don't care much about engine muscle, and they're likely to compromise on power in exchange for other amenities. But these are the same folks who like a smooth engine-and they might wince at the Previa's dissonance. We couldn't shake the feeling that, had Toyota added another 30 or 40 horses to the 138-hp engine or upsized from a 2.4 liter to a 3.0 liter-the Previa wouldn't whine so much when in the passing mode. This was a letdown, because this vehicle handled well, and its brake system was efficient and responsive. Toyota could easily have packed more power into its Previa.
