You can get used to it, however. And both are pretty car-like to drive, otherwise.
My point exactly. You could get used to it, but at the end of the day, it's still wide.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. Feel free to share some more.

As for me, it seems the Previa is fit for my Mom's purpose -- assuming the wheelchairs can fit with all the seats up. It's the price that isn't right and that's likewise a major consideration that will be mentioned to her. For more space requirements, there's our Grand Starex and Carnival LWB. If those wheelchairs don't fit, then there's another topic altogether.
