More power, more torque and added standard features make the Avalon one of the most appealing full-size sedans
- Toyota reliability, powerful V-6 engine, fit and finish
- Snoozeville, but still more enticing than, say, a Buick LeSabre

Great car - 1997 Toyota Avalon
By Paul - March 5 - 8:20 amThis is as nice a car as I ever need to own. The interior is roomy for its size. The ride is very comfortable, though it does not have a European road feel. The engine and transmission are very smooth and quiet. The interior is also quiet. I almost never requires repairs, mostly just routine maintenance.

Best of Class - 1997 Toyota Avalon
By magfer2 - January 3 - 10:00 amThe Avalon is a great car when price, build quality, features, and size are key points. The Avalon boasts a spacious interior (especially rear) has a large trunk without looking bulky from the exterior. It is a great highway cruiser with plenty of power while getting great gas mileage. The interior is excellent with awesome materials and great placement of all instruments etc. Best of all for some reason its second hand value seems to be on par of that of the Camry or other comparable autos while it is in fact a far superior car.

Over 200K and still strong - 1997 Toyota Avalon
By Drew - November 25 - 8:00 pmMy sister bought the car new in 97 and gave it to me last year. Today the car has a little over 200k. Theres no problem with the car except for the front right suspension which makes noise on bumpy roads (mentioned in other reviews).

Excellent Used Car - 1997 Toyota Avalon
By minime76 - August 28 - 2:00 amI recently purchased the 97 XLS model with the gold package. I think this is an excellent car. Ive had no problems with it thus far, and anticipate not having any problems with this Toyota for a long, long time. The traction control is smooth, and the automatic headlights/external temperature features are incredible. This car is the "Total Package" in my books!

Cruising Machine - 1997 Toyota Avalon
By JCBMinn - June 16 - 10:00 amI purchased my 97 Avalon used with 48K Miles, now have 68K. Only problem was the front strut mounts had to be replaced (not in warranty) which is a common problem for this year. But dont get me wrong, this is a great car that I will keep to well over 100K miles. Rides smooth, classy car with lots of rear leg room and good size trunk. Toyota quality can be seen and felt all thru the car. I recommend the XLS version, the little extras are worth it.
