2002 Toyota Avalon consumer reviews

Toyota Avalon 2002. My first car. I want to buy a new car but don?t feel like selling this car .I was the third owner of this car. Bought it when the miles were 101k. Now I have 235k miles on the car. No major repairs .Runs great without any noise and very smooth.I took a great decision of buying this car 6 years ago.

It is my brother's car that I drove back to NY from Miami in order to sell it for him. The ride blew my mind! It's a dream!

This vehicle drives well, is comfortable and reliable. Few minor issues, but if you take care of the car it will last.

This is one of the cars i think everyone should have its reliable, comfort and very strong also efficient to maintain.

This car is the most reliable, efficient, great gas mileage, extremely comfortable and has plenty of room for family and friends, has all leather interior and has all the interior features that you will ever need. It presently has only 64,205 original miles.

Enormous amount of space, both in front and rear seats. Ride is very smooth, comparable to newer cars today. Very little maintenance required.

This car is a good first time car for new drivers. It's reliable. Absolutely perfect. You're not making a mistake by purchasing a Toyota Avalon!

good car , running smoothly, good ac ,, good sound , comfortable sets , good control , good balance.

Wonderful car. Dependable as the sunrise. Huge interior. Comfortable. Performance, yes. You need to go right now? Stand on it and it will go! But.. without a doubt, and the main reason I'm writing this review, is because these cars are built like tanks. What are the odds.. but I have a twenty something daughter that has had 2 of these and has been in 2 wrecks with them. I know. But here's the thing. First one was not her fault. (2001 Model) Rainy weather, car cut across in front of her. She hit the brakes and broadsided them at 45 mph. The ABS kept it straight. After the wreck, looking at the car it was textbook perfect crumple zones. The car dispersed the energy of the crash evenly throughout the structure. They all had on seatbelts. Got out of the car and walked around with a scratch. Both front airbags deployed. NONE of the glass broke. Not even a crack. The doors all opened and closed. Very impressed with the engineering of this car. Second one was today. (2002 model). Moment of inattention, UPS truck stopped while making a turn. she hit the brakes and swerved to the right. Ran off the road and the car was ON ITS SIDE IN A DITCH. I kid you not, the motor never quit running. It happened in front of a fairly large business and some of the guys came running out and uprighted it it for her so she could get out. No glass broken. Air bags didn't even deploy. Once again, looking at it you could see the areas that absorbed the stress. If you want a safe car, that is very affordable, you absolutely can not go wrong with these Avalons.

I bought this car with 115000 miles, had it for a few months now. The previous owner provided me with full service history (bought it new) and its been a joy to own for theml over 12 years - very reliable. Lets start with the bad. Suspension - has a very soft feel to it. New dampers might help but this is sold as a luxury type car so very comfortable in that respect. Gearbox - I've always had a manual and the auto box is not my favourite, but that's just my preference. Styling - Yep, not the prettiest car around but you get used to it. The good: Luxury - Feels like a true luxury car. Comfortable seats and spacious. Lot of extras that makes it a joy. For a family this is a great car with ample space. Performance - Once you get used to the auto box its a joy to drive. More than enough power for regular driving and great on longer distances. a Great cruiser at any speed. Noise - very quiet. You will always be able to have a normal conversation at any speed. I'm very pleased with my purchase and its reputation has been established over many years, not just one persons opinion.
