2006 Toyota Avalon - Comfortable
It is one of the best Car I own. Every one who sit in the car for the first time tell me that CAR is very spacious and comfortable. Ride is very smooth. Gas mileage is not the great but I still get 20 miles in city
Story
Enjoy ride with my two wonderful son. No matter where I go and whatever I do
Pros
Leg space. Kids love it
Cons
Low mileage
2006 Toyota Avalon - It is overall a very good car.
The Avalon is a very nice mid-luxury vehicle. The main thing I dislike it it's overall size/length. It is too long. The overall look of the car is good, not great but still stylish for a 10+ year old car. It has above average quality, no rattles, components like electrics always work. I did have a little annoyance with the drivers window in that it squeaked when putting it up or down but that has worked itself out. The 3.5L V6 has adequate performance for a full size car although in town mileage is a little low for my liking at about 16-17 mpg. Highway is adequate at 32-35 mpg. I've had the car for about 5 years and for the most part enjoyed. It has grown on me!
Story
Because the car has such a large interior and a big trunk, I was able to pack nine 32 gallon bags of yard waste into the car to take to the recycle station. It worked out great since I don't have a truck and the fee for a car is substantially less than for a pickup truck.
Pros
Nice luxury ride. Nice look. Easy and fairly inexpensive to maintain. Leather heated seats. Overall quality is good. Big trunk. Decent gas mileage.
Cons
Too long for my lifestyle - not easy to park and won't fit in my garage. Turning radius is not great. Sort of has an "old man's" car look. My trim package doesn't have navigation, USB or iPod interface. Can't easily do some simple repairs such as changing plugs and coils on firewall side of transverse engine layout. Has front wheel drive, I prefer rear or all wheel.
