1999 Toyota Avalon Platinum review from North America
"A Japanese Lincoln!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing. Even though its main use is to go to bingo three times a week, no mechanical problems occurred.
General comments?
As a traditional Lincoln or Cadillac buyer, when my daughter convinced me the Avalon would suit my needs better, after I test drove it, I can say that Toyota has made a car for us 80 year old drivers. Even though I only drive it three days a week, it truly is a dependable car. It's a perfect size, not too large like my Lincolns or Cadillacs, yet large enough to fit 5 without hassle.
