1996 Toyota Avalon XL review from North America
"This a very nice, comfortable, and reliable car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, but I replaced the brake pads because of a lot of noise. Beside that, nothing and the car is still running strong. Gas could be a little better.
General comments?
I am 18 years old. Being 18, I know how to take a vehicle to its limits with no problem. But this car has no problem responding back at me. This is my first car and I plan to keep it until I can't anything else out of it. There is nothing not to like about the vehicle. I soon will replace the rotors.
