Explore the 2004 Toyota Avalon

Most reliable car I owned.

This car is comfortable to ride in for a short or long hall. Lots of legroom, has all the gadgets you need to have in your car. Smooth driving. Beautiful body. Loved it enough to buy another one. Recommend this over any luxury cars of any make and model.

Favorite car I've ever had

This car has been nothing great of a miracle. I got it with 58,844 miles and a year and a half it sits at 85,000. Never has failed me, always dependable and my favorite car I've ever had other than my 95 Escort. Reliability is a factor in me deciding my favorite car and it has been just as reliable as my Escort in every way. Have had to do brakes and coolant overflow tank, but that is preventative maintenance. Never once have I turned the key and it didn't start. Great first car or something if you're looking for something that is reliable. Got it from Marietta Toyota in Marietta, GA and one of the best purchases I've ever made.

THIS car changed me ! Bye Bye Ford.I LOVE Toyota's

THIS car changed my thinking on cars. I love it, use it for my main transportation vehicle, and will buy another Toyota when the time comes to buy another car.

Most reliable car I've owned.

Runs great, plenty of power with 210 horsepower. My mechanic brags about the engine compartment:"It's dry as a BONE under there--dry as a BONE. My friends couldn't believe how big the back seat was.

Exceptional value - Reliable

I picked up my 2004 Toyota Avalon im 2018 for $5k with 182k miles. I put $1.4k into the suspension and I now have a car that will likely go another 200k miles. It's comfortable, roomy, quiet and I drove 500 miles at over 90 mph with no issues... Sooo smoooth.

Love me my Toyota's !

It has been extremely reliable and would be perfect for a new driver or with lots of local travel. I t has minor cosmetic issues but is a very solid ride and feel.

Most Reliable Car I've ever owned.

Excellent vehicle. Never had to put $ into it. Runs excellent. Can never tell its a 2004! Leather seats are a big plus, both summer and winter!!

Most Reliable, Comfortable 6-Seater Car !!!

Toyota engines run "forever" so-to-speak, as long as owners keep up the service/maintenance (change oil, etc.) on a consistent schedule! I see so many of these cars still on the road! The newer Toyota Avalon XLS Sedan's are only 5-seaters, but this 2014 model has a fold-up console that creates a full bench front seat, making it a comfortable, 6-seater with 6 seat belts, and lots of head room for tall people. Great window visibility, too!

Love my car so much

Bar far the most reliable and comfortable vehicle I?ve ever owned. I would gladly purchase another Avalon for my next vehicle, as the one I own is 14 years old and going strong.

Great car

This is a great car. We have had it for 14 yrs. It has 200,000 miles on it and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip. It has never let us down. It has survived 3 grandchildren so far. Love it!
