After looking for a sedan, I narrowed my search down to three vehicles. The Toyota Avalon, Mazda 6 and Nissan Altima. After driving all three of the vehicles, I felt the Avalon was superior in many respects. I liked the power that the sport model had. The Mazda and Nissan seemed to be underpowered. I also liked that my Avalon came with heated seats which is something that was not available in the Nissan or Mazda. The Toyota entune nav system and entertainment system worked well and the sound system in my car was much better than either the Mazda or Nissan.

It still looks good. Drives well. Easy to maintain. Parts are readily availale. I like that it keeps going without major deects. I like that the resale value stays high.
