2001 Toyota Avalon XLS Review
ProsReliability ConsNot a performance handling vehicle

No Worries — Performance - fair, I did try a set of summer performance tires that helped immensely in corners. Build - Excellent, 188K miles and still going the same as day one. Appearance - bland Cost of Ownership - minimal Fun Factor - Boring, leans a fair amount in the corners, rear suspension with two adults in the rear seat bottoms out easily. Primary Use: Commuting to work

ProsVery nice ride, reliable, quiet. The 110 power outlet was handy for the laptop. ConsNothing comes to mind. The hood latch stopped working for a while, I wired it shut. Then it started working OK again. I guess the penetrating oil took a while to work.

Comfortable — I bought this with 90K in 2004. It has 168K now and has been almost no trouble. The bench front seat allows 6 passengers. Lots of room, dual zone temp control. The vehicle stability control is works well in when you need to steer around something in the road. 26 mpg. good power Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsSpace, acceleration, overall comfort and ease of use, CLEAN!, got a GREAT deal! ConsFWD, soft suspension, irritating 10" woofer that keeps busting the foam...

'01 Avalon Revue — Quick responsive acceleration, somewhat soft brake feel, suspension could be stiffer, so might put some Tokico's... Styling is kind of Jiichan-poi, but nice. Full leather with wood trim and JBL sounds, though I dunno what's up with that middle woofer. Think I'm going to off it and stick a 12" Alpine Type R for the mids and lows... Just wish it was RWD for this size... Good on gas for a V6, and maintenance is pretty easy. Changed rotors/pads, oil/air filters, basic maintenance easy to do. I think it'll be a lot more fun if the suspension was a little stiffer. Feels like I'm floating on the road sometimes... (not shot, just soft. takes potholes and bumps like a champ...)

An Extremely Reliable Car. — I have just over 165,000 miles on this car. This is the BEST car I have ever owned. I've owned 4 cars prior, and I was trading them in at 85,000 miles; but not with this one! Oil change was always between 3,500 and 4,000 miles. I now use high mileage oil in the car. Continue to be very satisfied with the gas mileage--still get 28-29 mpg on the freeway. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Decent Car — V6 has a little get up and go and the brakes aren't bad considering the weight of the car. Not a sport or even touring car, body roll is beyond belief. Car was abused far more than any car should, yet still rode nice and looked decent. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
