What can I expect from a 1993 N/A RWD Previa in terms of reliability,

please do not forget me my friends

Service costs shouldn't be too bad but it might get expensive if you need anything replaced since it's pretty old now. Insurance should be low.

Those things have like a negative 5 star safety rating though, so you'll probably bite it if you crash into a smart car at 20mph.

One thing to look forward to is everyone dieing should you get in a crash.
The Previa is mid-engined which means there's less space up front for energy absorption.
As a minivan, the Previa is behind its competition in every measure. That's why they don't make mid-engine minivans anymore.

If you want a minivan you can hot rod, there are better, safer, options.
At the top of my recommendations would be a 4 cylinder Dodge Caravan or Plymouth Voyager. the 2.5L and 2.4L I4 engines have plenty of aftermarket support and are both more than capable of being sleepers.

Aside from that, look into the Mazda 5. Dimension-wise, it's almost identical to the original Chrysler minivans. And it's based on the compact Mazda 3 and Ford Focus, so yes, they are very hot roddable.

And the people in the Smart car would walk away with no injuries.

If you want something relatively fun to drive, where you could also take your kid with you, I'd say look for a Focus ST Turnier, or Zafira OPC (what ever that is on the american market).

America doesn't get the Turnier, or the Zafira. America doesn't get the Zafira PERIOD. Never has and likely never will. GM stopped making minivans for the American market around 2007 and concentrated on SUVs that sold like hot cakes.

Oh and the American GM Minivans were ALL based on the U-body platform, like the Opel/Vauxhall Sintra, though they got a HUGE update in 2005 which fixed the issue of safety.

No thanks. You'll do that sideways into a tree. Then we'll never have to worry about you or your descendants poisoning the human race with your stupidity.

A minivan exists to cart your family around. A family is the most important thing in your life. Why willingly and knowingly put them at risk in an unsafe minivan?
