Bought this 1993 MPV 10 years ago for $2k. So far it's probably set me back $8k in repair bills. No matter. This has been one fine vehicle that has saved my ass more than once. It's still a daily driver and still a keeper. The body is fine, people stare. Right down my alley. But a coolant hose blew one day, the engine overheated, and that was that. Blown head gaskets. 250,000 miles. But now it's gone, gone, gone.

I was schedule to sell this one for it has transmission problem a few days ago. but I changed my mind. Because it's the first trouble since I purchased. It's almose 140,000 but still too reliable. It doesn't look sexy or fantastic at all and I want to buy new nice recent vehicle. but it never fail..so sometime, I'm tired to drive this any more.. It looks so ugly to me but too reliable.

I love the style, unlike the other reviewers. We got rid of our first MPV due to transmission problems, got another one, and had to get a new transmission at 100K. Dealers all seem to know that MPVs have troubled transmissions. Why didn't I know before? I loved the way it looked, drove, everything but the fear of transmission problems. glad to trust Toyotas/Hondas these days.

Great family vehicle, wonderful to travel long distance in. Fits a lot of people. Dependable and really reliable. Not the prettiest van out there, but the van does have some pick up and go :)
