2004 Toyota Avalon

Pros: All the luxury I need at a "non-luxury" price.
Cons: Avalon's are so popular that dealers will not bargain much.

Unlike many males "of a certain age", I am not enamored of cars. Generally, I consider an automobile simply a mode of transportation to get from point A to point B. My attitude, however, changed in 2001 when we purchased a silver spruce Avalon XLS for ...

Pros: Appealing price tag. Smooth ride. Smooth shifting transmission. Lots of legroom. Plenty of torque.
Cons: Rear seats headroom is lacking.

Pros: Reliablility, acceleration, styling, interior space, cd/stero system
Cons: I prefer a manual reset trip odometer

I purchased in Dec 2004, so I got a good deal on one of the remaining 2004 models. The model I purchased was a 2004 Pearl White (premium color) XLS. It has dual a/c, sunroof, leather, heated seats, climate control, wood grain trim and steering wheel, ...

Pros: quiet. Feels like a luxury car. Power. Sound system cranks. Leather seats. Price.
Cons: Little pizazz.. seats could be a bit more coMfortable.

Got a great deal on a 2004 Avalon with only 3500 miles on it. Very nice quiet ride. Built on a Lexus frame. Lots of power. So far very dependable. Drove from PHX to SFO. Decent mileage, but thought it would be better. Great passing gear. Nice Sub-woofer w/ JBL sound system.
Styling could have been improved. 2005 model looks better.
Hoping to drive this car for a LONG time..
