280K MIles and Very Relieable

2007 Toyota Avalon Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

I have owned a 2007 Touring model for 3 years. I purchased with 180K miles after my Lexus LS430 was totaled. I looked at a number of Avalons but did not want to spend over $10K for a lower mileage one because I drive over 30K miles per year. I bought this specific car thinking that I might drive it for a year while I looked for another LS430. I love the handling and comfort of this car. It does not ride as soft as the LS but it easier to drive because it just soaks up the miles without much steering correction. I tried the Limited model first but found the cooled seats were not as comfortable as those without this feature. I specifically looked for a model that did NOT have the sunroof as this feature limits headroom (I'm 6'2") and need the extra 3" or so that models without the sunroom have. I have put a new battery and brakes on this car. Those have been the only repairs in 100K miles. No check engine lights. No weird noises. Great acceleration. This is a roomy car with a huge back seat. It's not fair to compare with the LS 430 that costs twice as much but there are some areas that seem to not be as nice-like the trunk carpet and trim. Overall, this has been a great used car for us-I would purchase again and recommend to anyone looking for a large dependable sedan. Because everyone wants an SUV these tend to be lower priced on the used market (compared to SUV's) and make a great buy for people looking for reasonable transportation.

I have purchased 5 new GM vehicles since 1994. The new Toyota Avalon XLS is superb so far, great handling, quiet ride, super gas mileage on 87 octane regular. The Avalon 3.5 engine has so much more power than my Buick with 3800 engine, it's sometimes almost too quick. I ordered the sound deadening package which maybe just an undercoat, but it sure rides quiet. I like the well lighted large letter display.The special oil filter valve that keeps all the oil from draining back into the pan, and the 6.4 quart oil pan should add engine life.
Sorry to let it go!

We purchased a 2007 Avalon new in the spring of 2007. This was our first Toyota. It was a great car. The back seat had a limousine feel to it. Got great gas mileage. Never had a problem with it. Because of the safety issue with the accelerator we sold it. I would definitely buy another Toyota but will wait until the dust settles.
Big improvement

Replaced my 2003 Avalon with a 2007. Engine power and responsiveness much better with the 07. The power lock system is much more user friendly than the 03. I always felt I couldn't get out of the 03 (doors would lock) and with the remote lock/unlock always had to hurry before auto relock. The window washer is outstanding on the 07, that last swipe makes all the difference. I didn't go with the JBL (had it on the 03) and really can't tell a difference. Absolutely love the car.

The drive quality is great, except for the rear visibility when backing out of a parking space. Tire noise is a major problem if you buy a low quality tire like Good Year. Engine noise is no problem, I think other people think the noise is from the engine, when it is actually the tires. Paint is very thin and of poor quality. Just make sure you keep it waxed regularly. I have 45,000 miles so far with no problem. Oil is changed on time with synthetic and rubber is lubed with 303.
