I had a 2000 Avalon, wanted another. Had been a Toyota buyer since 1975. $8000 price differential on comparably equipped cars sealed the deal. I have not been unhappy with my choice.

While the pros call the styling bland, I actually like it. I like the "hips." Folding exterior mirrors are great for garage use. Wonder why not available universally.
It's okay but still no car manufacturer has found a good storage place for my purse! Love, love the rear sunshade.
I love the ability to sit up high in the driver's seat. I always use the highest position available. Good visibility except for backing up. Like the wider side illumination headlights provide.
84,000 miles and only one service issue not under warranty--a $40 repair. Only two warranty repairs in that time.
For the money, the best. Dual power front seats, rear sunshade, ABS, traction control, heated seats,homelink, sat radio, big trunk, very roomy back seat. 60/100,000 mile warranty, a big incentive. All this for $24,000 (LTD). Wish the new ones didn't cost so much.
Lousy OEM tires. Trouble keeping tires from cupping. But got 45,000 miles on last set so can live with that.
Other than tires, my least favorite thing is that water drips into the trunk when opened on a rainy day. Wish they could figure this out. My Camry did the same but not my beloved Avalon.
It's a Chevy dealership. Takes 2 hours for an oil change. I've learned to accept it.
Took a chance Hyundai was on the upswing and glad I did.
