2001 Toyota Avalon Conquest review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One blown fuse.
General comments?
Excellent fuel economy (averaging 9 litres/100 km on trips).
Good performance from the 3.0 litre engine.
Generally good build quality, but passenger's side carpet undercut in two places.
Only main criticism of this car is road noise. Although whisper-quiet on smooth hot-mix road surfaces, there is too much noise from the tyres when the car is driven on coarse bitumen surfaces. I'm currently looking at ways of quietening this, including changing tyres and adding noise-deadening material to underside of rear seats and the trunk.
