The 1999 Toyota Avalon saw very few changes for the model year. A new Avalon was in the works for the following year. By 1999, the Avalon had been on the market for five years, and was beginning to make its name as an affordable luxury sedan.
The 1999 Toyota Avalon comes in two trim levels, the XL and the more luxurious XLS. Both trims come standard with a 3.0-liter, 200 horsepower V6 engine. The XL is nicely equipped, including an AM/FM/cassette sound system and cruise control. The XLS includes a few more niceties, like an upgraded sound system, alloy wheels, and a theft-deterrent system. The XLS also comes with option of front bucket seats or a three-seater bench. Fuel efficiency is 21/31 mpg.
Drivers appreciate the 1999 Toyota Avalon’s good fuel economy, smooth ride, excellent handling, and wide array of options to chose from. Many owners praise the Avalon’s roomy interior, including plenty of cargo space. Owners have few complaints, but many find the styling a little bland and some even suggest that it is an “old person’s car.â€
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1999 Toyota Avalon appreciate its reliability, comfort, and good performance while driving. Many drivers highlight its spaciousness, especially in the back seat, as well as its smooth ride and decent power. However, some owners mention concerns about body roll during turns, the cost of parts, and mixed fuel economy, with some expressing that while it gets up and scoots well, it's not the fastest option out there."
The Avalon has been a great car to own, with few repairs necessary if maintained properly. The car always felt safe, handled well and we enjoyed the quiet and smooth ride. With good tires, it performed well in winter conditions also.
March 22, 2013parts are expensive. i like the car a lot other than that. gets up and scoots well. stops well. has a lot of body roll in corners. there is a squeak out of the rear struts, and a rattle out of the front.
October 7, 2012This car is pretty quick. It's a stock V6, but could handle a little better. Has a lot of body roll. The brakes need to be done soon, but other than that its great. My husbands dad took real good care of it. Always garaged it and washed it after every outting. Thinking about getting some rims for it. Having a hard time finding any that look good on it for a decent price. It's got dark tinted windows. You can hardly see in it. Nice and straight body, hardly a scratch or ding. Gas milages is pretty good. About 25 or so mpg if I don't romp on it all the time. This car is fun as hell to drive. I take it easy mostly because of my little one, but when shes not in there with me, I pick on ricers and chevys. :)
