• Lexus-like quality, smooth V6 engine, huge rear seat.

• High price tag, new styling might not go far enough to avoid blandness.

  Best Buick Ever - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By DrGloom - August 6 - 9:53 pm

  When my new 2000 Acura TL arrived, I couldnt get comfortable in the drivers seat (62", 220 lb) so I canceled the deal and bought the Avalon XLS instead. Back then, I thought it was ugly and definitely a compromise. Now, it looks "classic" and the lines seem much cleaner, and it has been 100% trouble free, but too much is sacrificed for ride comfort. I found *huge* improvements by upgrading the shocks (KYB), tires (Michelin Exalto 225/50x16), and brake pads (Red Stuff)... and the roomy front seat has spoiled me for some otherwise very good cars.

  Teflon Avalon - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By gruitnower - June 13 - 6:42 pm

  This is by far the best car I have ever owned. I frequently look at these reviews about cars and wonder if they are biased towards Japanese cars. Well let me tell you, I just bought my Avalon with 108k on it and it drives like it only has 4 miles on it. Everything works flawlessly and it starts right up every morning. The look of this car is second to none, distinguished and stylish. I love the leather interior and the spacious trunk. I feel like I float to work instead of drive to work. The engine purrs like a kitten with no hitch on acceleration. This car puts ALL American mid size sedans to rest HANDS DOWN. the quality in workmanship is impeccable

  Excellent choice - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By Kisa Lee - April 23 - 7:20 am

  Before the purchase of my Avalon I drove a Nissan Sentra for about 9 1/2 years and loved that car because of the reliability. Now in the Avalon I feel the same but with extras ex. the interior, the comfortable ride, the room as well as the sound system. I am really enjoying the car even though it was used when I purchased it, I feel that I made an excellent choice.

  Everything I thought it would be. Great - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By sim davenport - February 10 - 10:00 am

  I have driven my 2000 Avalon for 2 1/2 years and have 72,000 miles on it. I have not had any defect at all show up and the performance has been great. Obviously, I thought it was a great looking car or I wouldnt have purchased it. Who needs Cadillac or Lexus when you have the Avalon!

  ALMOST PERFECT - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By Hank Martin - February 8 - 10:00 am

  This car is so good that I bought a 2002 Avalon XL with the leather luxury package for my wife. She is very pleased with her car. The car is very comfortable with the electric seats and lumbar support on the drivers side. Its appeal seems to be to older drivers who upgrade from the Toyota Camry as we did. I am waiting for the new 2005 Avalon as I am interested in buying anouther one. I hope Toyota does not lessen its quality or change its platform as it did with the Camry when they changed the model.

  First foreign car purchase - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By Matthew Rosenberger - November 14 - 10:00 am

  This car is very confortable to sit in and smooth on the road. I had a Cadillac and that car doesnt even compare. The car is quiet and workmanship is solid. I always heard that people who have Toyotas drive them many miles and that cant be cant be said about American made products. Im sold on Toyota!

  The Mighty Avalon - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By cardodger - May 5 - 9:18 pm

  I purchased my XLS used with 175,000 miles on it. I was looking for reliability, safety, and a low payment vehicle that could help me while I paid of credit cards. The car has been reliable, comfortable, and a pleasure to own. Everyone wants me to do the driving when a group is going somewhere and no-one thinks it has the mileage that it does (200K+ now). I keep getting the urge to look at other cars that might be more sporty or fun to drive but look at the reviews and issues with other cars and cant think of anything more fun than having had no problems at all with this terrific car. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to drive - any distance...

  One safe and comfortable car - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By schiavone - April 17 - 2:00 am

  The Toyota Avalon is the best car I have ever owned. It handles and rides like a $50,000 luxury car, but cost $20,000 less. The engine and transmission are exceptional. The roominess is amazing, and reliability is second to none. I get 28-30 MPG on the highway on regular gas. Fit and finish is perfect. Safety is very good, as a matter of fact, I owned a 1996 Avalon and was hit head-on by a truck at highway speeds. The car was a total loss, but I had minimal injuries thanks to the engineering of the body, the airbag, and seatbelts, everything worked perfectly. After the accident, I immediately bought the 2000 Avalon which I am driving now.
