1996 Toyota Avalon XLS review from North America
"A great combination of high quality, low operating costs, and comfortable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine maintenance only. Oil, brakes and timing belt.
General comments?
The car has performed exceptionally well. It is very roomy and comfortable. I intend to keep it another 120,000 miles. The operating costs have been minimal; it still has the original exhaust system.
