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

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

  This was my first large luxury car. Couldnt be happier with comfort, performance and reliability. It replaced the last American car Ill ever own. I now have 3 Toyotas and am happy with them all.

  You know how you get the feeling that I bought this car new and after 3 or 4 years, you kind of get the itch to buy a new car; well with this car and it is the fifth new car I have purchased, I have no desire. This is a car I can imaginge driving 15 or 20 years from now and that never happened with the previous four.

  Ergonomic Luxo Family Sedan - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By T-man - January 9 - 10:00 am

  Bought my 2000 Avalon XLS as a Toyota Certified Used 16 months ago with an Extended 100K Warranty and have enjoyed a very troublefree car. The Avalon is solidly designed and built with proven but conservative technology. The engine and transmission are smooth, quiet and capable. The Avalons interior roominess is almost minivan like. The Avalon has a high roofline and minimal "tumblehome" with the side windows being much closer to vertical than most other contemporary sedans. This is why the Avalon body styling looks a little funky head on, the straight side glass being reminiscient somewhat of classic Rolls Royce sedans.

  Our 2000 Toyotal Avalon is the best car we have owned. Smooth ride, excellent handling and great pick- up. Solid, safe car for family. Very comfortable seats.

  Love it or leave it.......cant decide - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By katahydem - August 7 - 8:32 pm

  Ive had this car for almost 13 years now and still am not tired of it. Id like to get something else - different style vehicle but this car is paying me now. Gas mileage is better than any new car Ive looked at and can still trust its reliability. There have been some problems, sensor issues most often but theyve been manageable. We had some real wheel rust and had it taken care of. My car looks newer and better than a lot of newer cars out there.

  An Excellent Vehicle - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By mjbarnard - July 22 - 10:00 am

  My 2000 Avalon XLS is a pleasure to drive and to own. The stability of the ride and the quietness of the cabin are outstanding. The car is exceedingly reliable. I would like, however, to get better mileage. 16 MPG in town and 25.1 on the road is the best that I can get. The passenger power seat is somewhat disappointing. There is no lumbar support as in the drivers seat, and there are fewer adjustments than the drivers seat. Overall, this is a fine car, and I will look first to Avalon when I consider a new one.

  Big car. Great when having friends or large family trips. 2000 Model looked good inside all controls convenient. Did not use sun roof but came with car. Skid control was not worth the extra I paid for it. Would not purchase that again even though I live in Northeast did not use it much. For 6 years most everything stayed intact and no problems. You have to love the interior room for everyone it is great! Also not that bad on gas. Had a very quiet ride. Into my 7th year things started falling apart. From 7th to 9th year replaced close to $1,300 in sensors over two years. Small parts started falling apart. Could not use mid grade had to stay with Premium or got poor performance. Leather not soft and plushy even started to wear a lot.
