Hello house. I need the advise of experts in the house and those who have experience with these vehicles to help me out.

I am looking at a family vehicle, a minivan which will be used majorly for family movement within the city and to travel from South West part of the country to South East like thrice in a year.

I have narrowed my search to these two vehicles - [/b]Toyota Previa 2002/2003 or Toyota Avensis Verso 2002/2003[b]. I considered that both vehicles use 4-cylinder engine, roomy enough for passengers and loads, about same price (automatic transmission ONLY) and then has rear glass that can wind down.

Please i now need advise on these two vehicles in terms of:
1. fuel economy
2. maintenance
3. durability
4. any particular issue with any of the vehicles
5. Any other information

Thank you all.

House, any help on this will be appreciated.

Thank you.

They are both reliable they also have same engine the 2.4 variant, though the avensis has a 2.0 too while the previa has a stand alone 3.0 V6.

The previa is bigger. Both come in auto and manual and mostly converted so ensure conversion was done right

Thank you @nurey. I want to ask if the well publicized problem of stripped headbolt with 2AZ-FE engine affects this vehicle? From what i read online, it is mostly reported for US cars using the 2AZ-FE engine like Camry 2003-2006.

Thank you once more
