1998 Toyota Avalon XLS review from North America
"Good family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve cover gasket at 106000 miles.
General comments?
Most impressive thing about the car is the reliability. Never had a time with it not starting.
Front and side air bags make you feel safe.
Economy is pretty good, 23-30 MPG.
Handle feeling is a bit too soft, not sporty. Maybe it is just how it's designed.
