Used 2006 Toyota Avalon XL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
A Winner
Went from a Camry to Avalon. I loved the Camry but won't go back now. Very happy. Avalon is so much bigger, drives like a dream. A real luxury car.
What More Could You Ask for!
Just picked up the XL in Silver Pine Mica for the wife. The quality and comfort are great! The only option we got were the 6 CD and the floor mats. But who could tell it was a base model with all the features for the price.
A few problems
I'm really surprised at this car. It looked great, and the professional reviews were AWESOME. But I've had problems -- lots of minor ones. I wonder if the magazine reviewers get specially prepped cars from Toyota? My Avy has transmission hesitation, a few squeaks and the front windshield now that it is cold CAN NOT stay free of ice or snow. In Iowa, that's a BIG problem. I find the front seats uncomfortable for longer trips. The back seats are nicer.
Loss of engine oil with no warning light
I purchased my car almost 3 yrs ago, everything was great until it reached 33000 miles; suddenly the engine produced loud noise, it was a complete loss of engine oil with no warning light in the dashboard. The dealer was very familiar with the problem before I even spoke. He asked me if it was the loss of engine oil. I would like Toyota to look into this problem. Otherwise the car is great and I love it.
A great ride
