2002 Toyota Avalon XLS review from North America
"Don't buy you will not be pleased, believe me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air didn't work well from beginning.
Car doors hard to shut, hard to open.
Automatic window drivers side failed (to open or close properly).
Currently shifting hard - jerking at shifts. Doggy.
Paint chips easily.
Lots of road noise.
Tires wore out in less than 20,000 miles.
General comments?
Some nice stuff, but WAY too expensive to be noisy, tinny little hard to open doors, cheap paint, doggy in traffic, feel like you are pushing it down the road car.
Phooey.
