I have owned many Toyotas, and the Avalon has not disappointed. It is an excellent vehicle. I bought the car used from a family member. I knew about the maintenance history, so I was not concerned. The previous owner is very savvy about cars and is also very interested in maintenance. I know he changes oil all the time. He also performed regular maintenance with brakes , lubes, transmission and air conditioning. I was very confident of the vehicles integrity when I bought it . When I bought it, it had about 25,000 mile on it. It had been garaged kept . He did not have children, so the interior was immaculate. I got a great deal on it, and it has been running for years. The engineering is impeccable. I do a lot of highway driving, and the ride is perfect. It is not as heavy as a Lexus , but the ride is comparable in my opinion. The gas mileage is very good. On the highway I usually get around 28 miles to the gallon. Around town is somewhat less, I estimate around 21 miles to the gallon. If you are considering a new car, I would highly recommend the Toyota Avalon. It is a great car. You will not be disappointed. And don't forget to pick up a cheap used car warranty if you can afford it.

My Toyota Avalon is literally the best car I have ever owned. It is a very roomy sedan. It gets great gas mileage. Even in really cold weather, it starts every time I drive it. I put some good tires on it, and this helped with great traction. I have never had major problems with this car and in the past with my other cars, I was in the repair shop numerous times. My CD player has room for six discs at once, a feature I have never had in a car before. This makes long road trips a breeze. I have already planned that when it's time for me to buy another car, I am getting a Toyota. The engine has plenty of get up and go! I never worry about driving it on the interstate and getting up to highway speed in a timely manner.
