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.

  60,000 miles later - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By kmmowe - January 21 - 6:10 am

  No problems in 5 years/60,000 miles except warranty issue on the horn assembly (horn would go off intermittently). Dealer replaced air bag assembly in steering wheel and that solved the problem. OEM battery lasted 3 years

  Best car I have ever owned or driven. - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By soundcrafter - January 1 - 2:09 pm

  With 170,000 miles and not a single problem I can say I picked a winner. It drives like a dream on its Michelin tires. I get 26-30 mpg highway. I love the rounded curved dash and display. I do hate looking at the cassette tape deck (it reminds me that I am getting older and soon will someday be obsolete). I keep wanting to replace it with something new, but other new cars cant match its ride. I test drove the 2014 Mercedes, new Avalon, Lexus, infinity, BMW... The only car I liked better than the Avalon was the Audi A8 at $65,000. I will keep this car until it literally falls apart.

  Looked at everything - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By Physco - May 19 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I looked at lots of options, attended car shows, read available information and spent 1.5 years before making our decision to buy our Avalon. Since we keep our vehicles longer than 10 years, we are careful when making our decisions to purchase. Our 2nd place choices were the Acura (much less interior room) and the Lexus RX300. We are certain this was the best choice considering the cost of ownership and our tastes.

  New Avalon - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By Castelli - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Very smooth quiet ride. Love all of the loaded features this car has to offer. Roomy interior and large trunk. Good safety and reliability ratings is a couple of the reasons I looked at this car. Needs to improve Driver frontal crash rating.

  Great investment - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By thomas hoehn - August 7 - 6:13 am

  Over 100,000 and runs great, over 80,000 on the Michelin tires. Starts up every time. Great ride and lots of room in trunk and interior easy to maintain without nickle and dimeing you to death.

  LOVE MY AVALON - 2003 Toyota Avalon
  By Pugnme - August 6 - 10:00 am

  This car has many of the features of other cars at thousands of dollars less. It also has more room than the most of its competition. In youre looking for a full size luxury vehicle, you should NOT buy a new car without taking a good look at the Avalon. If you are in the Pittsburgh PA area, be sure to see the folks at Rohrich Toyota. They treated us great.
