Model/Year:

2005 Toyota Avalon XLS

General experience:

I used to have 2001 Lexus LS430 and I wasn’t quite satisfied with it. I didn’t like the acceleration, however I must admit that the class of the comfort is beyond any expectations. Then I decided to get rid of my Lexus and to get a new car for a lower price and with less gas consumptions. As my dad love Toyota I listened to him, googled through many sites and decided I might try to test-drive Toyota Avalon. I really loved its ride – it is superb, even comparing to Lexus LS 430 and the price is 15,000 USD cheaper. So I decided to buy it. Four years passed and there wasn’t a day when I pitied that I decided to buy Toyota Avalon. This car has a nice look, is very spacious inside, has a good view for me as a driver and a nice climatic control system that works very well, providing us the best comfort we would supposed to get from car for 25,000 dollars.

Pros and cons:

+  Effective construction inside and outside, very nice to travel big distances because of the comfortable and spacious interior. The warranty was 4 years or 50,000 miles and it made both but I’m still not even thinking of exchange.

- Toyota Avalon might have been even better if they would propose an optional navigation system, because I really need it, but there is not such an option from dealer.
