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

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

  One year update with my 2000 Toyota Avalon. - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By hondaacura21 - August 9 - 1:16 am

  Its been exactly a year since I bought my 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS from a private sale. I purchased it with 124,000 miles and its been very reliable with not a single problem. It is really impressive that my 13 year old Avalon still provides a silky smooth drive and is very quiet even compared to never cars. This Avalon is a "poor mans" Lexus. I drove 26K miles in this year: 450 miles a week due to work, a 1750 road trip from GA to TX, and 7000 miles of small mountain trips. Even with both leaky valve cover gaskets, leaky cam seals, old timing belt and water pump and blown struts this Toyota has never left me stranded and drove excellent. Before I give this to my mom I will repair it.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By Landtuna - July 29 - 2:26 am

  Wifes car but I drive it often. Had one service visit in ten years - dirty MAF sensor. Doesnt get any better than that. Does everything youd want it to do in silence and comfort. Remarkably large cabin for a mid-sized vehicle. Trunk holds a ton of stuff too. JBL sound system is great. Visibility is outstanding (except as noted below). Wife gets 22 MPG (reg gas) around town. I get almost 30 on highway. Paint still looks like new. Only one small and insignificant rattle in almost 90K miles. I call it a Japanese Buick but its much better than a GM car.

  Amazing Car - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By viktoo - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Ever since i can remember there has always been one toyota in our garage. The 2000 Avalon XlS is our second avalon (96 Xls the first) and it is an amazing car. A strong powerful engine that can make any driver want to take it to the red line. But at the same time a great comfortable interrior and asethically pleasing to the eye. One of the smoothest rides out that makes it a pleasure to take on even the longest trips. I think for the price and the quality it should be any car lovers dream. If you are out to buy a new or used car i highly recomend this car. You will not be disappointed.

  Loving it - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By Loving it - January 3 - 1:50 pm

  I purchased my Avalon XL new from the dealership. I picked the silver color because it looks clean when its dirty. The ride is very smooth. The interior is exceptionally quiet within the city, but the wind noise picks up on the highway and interstate. I purchased the 6yr/100,000 mile warranty with the vehicle. Toyota guaranteed if I never used the warranty I would receive a full refund at 100,000 miles. They refunded me a check for $1,187 2yrs ago. The paint still looks like new. The interior is excellent. The Avalon has enormous room. The dash forward design is genius. Ive seen the latest model and they made it with more room. This is definitely the flagship of the Toyota brand vehicles.

  This car is great. The electronic stability control, traction control and ABS brakes are perfect for driving in the snow. The interior is SOOOO big I get comments all the time.

  Reliable, Comfortable, Economical - 2000 Toyota Avalon
  By DJ - September 12 - 7:06 pm

  Purchased brand new. Very roomy interior, especially in back seat. Very comfortable for local and distance driving. Excellent ACTUAL gas mileage: 24-26 mpg city & commuting; 26-32 mpg sustained hwy driving. Only problems in 7.5 yrs was a fuel pump that needed to be replaced after 4 yrs and the in-dash radio/CD player after 5 yrs. Have performed all scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals. Maintenance costs have been low: $725/yr over entire period owned; $900/yr during past 5 yrs, including replacement of timing belt at recommended 90K mileage. Best car Ive ever owned. Will buy another this year.
