Most Reliable Car I've Owned

Can't say enough positive about my 1st generation Avalon. Even the insurance companies love it and charge me less for insurance on it than most cars this age. I love that it's a full size car but is powerful and agile. Super reliable. The only tiny draw back is a slightly short suspension life, but other than that, I love it.

Flat out good

It's a smooth and controlled ride, very spacious, easy to drive. I got it used with about 120,000 miles on it, and I never had a problem with it, so it's reliable to say the least.

My favorite vehicle so far!

I love this car, and recommend the Avalon to anyone who is mid or large in stature(no- offense to anyone). I purchased mine a year ago, and to this day rides the same as the day i bought it. I cant really think of any downsides for it at this moment but if your tall like myself then go for this car.
