Overview & Reviews
A few minor changes are in store for Toyota's large sedan. On the outside, you'll find freshened styling that consists of a new grille, new taillamps and redesigned bumpers. Inside, the 2003 Avalon has been upgraded with dual-stage airbags and ISO-FIX child safety seat anchor points. XLS models also have more features this year, including an autodimming driver-side mirror, rain-sensing wipers, a simulated wood-trimmed steering wheel and an optional navigation system.
- Lexus-like quality, smooth V6 engine, huge rear seat.
- High price tag, bland personality.

Wonderful car - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By ambi - July 20 - 5:40 pmNo doubt about it, I will purchase another Avalon. This car has more comfort in the rear and front than most of the largest. Everyone who rides in the rear seat is amazed at the comfort.

Ill like it - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By yakinf - November 30 - 2:00 amI traded my 1996 Avalon XLS with 2003 Avalon XLS over the weekend. I think I made the right decision to go buy Toyota again. My old Avalon has been given me alot of fun and free of problem in the last couple years, but the new one is impress me more. I like the interior, the ride and the softness smooth driving experience. Even my wife likes it alot. She is very hard to convince and usually she will not like what I had bought in the past for her( I bought a 1999 Dodge Caravan brand new, but she just didnt like the car at all). But this time she just seems like it more than I do. Perfect 10 for avalon.

Reliable road partner. - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By r_k - July 17 - 12:26 pmWe are third owner of this car, we knew the second owner who kept this car really well. The only thing weve done so far is change timing belt, water pump and fluid wash. Runs like a dream and currently giving me a mixed mileage of 26 mpg. We love the robust build of the car, road handling. The opening of trunk is big and weve had no issues in carrying large grocery bags and a small wagon which always stays in it. The back seat is roomy and has large space for 4 people to sit. I like the drive of this car and will recommend it to anyone looking for luxury at the same time reliable car.

My Review - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By John Poghosian - March 20 - 10:00 amI used to own a 1993 Acura Legend and was totally satisfied with it until a friend from my college days bought a 1995 Avalon XLS. Was in-audible, and the transmission was the smoothest sounding I had heard, even from my finely maintained Acura. I guess it was from then on I decided to purchase my own Avalon, but I had onyl bought a new Acura but two years ago. I recently sold my Acura and had been saving money so I decided to pursue my dream, I bought a 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS equipped with all the original Toyota goodies offered. I did end up paying a hefty price but it was well worth it. I chose all the options available.

Lexus Killer - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By hboggs - March 8 - 2:00 amWhat a vehicle! 20mpg in town in 2-3 mile trips and high 20s on the road. Comfort abounds, room room room. Looked at 2 series MB, but couldnt see the additional $. Drive a Lexus, just more wood & trim, basically the same car for far less $. Ive owned just about everything in my life and for the first 3000 miles its been equal to anything.

One Fine Automobile - 2003 Toyota Avalon
By sayu - January 24 - 2:00 amThis has got to be the sleeper sedan of all. Hard to find any articles or data, beyond what we owners write, about this vehicle. I tried to uncover something, anything, on this model, before I went shopping. Looked at many sedans. Our objective was to find one with lots of room, yet would be easy for around town mobility. We love room and comfort while on the road, and this car delivers in spades. Totally satisfied with this car. It has it all, if you can live with a spirited 6 cylinder, for half the price of some competitors.
