2004 Toyota Avalon XLS review from North America
"Lots of problems at new, but hopefully all fixed now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passanger side power seat back broke and would not move up.
Back glass shattered for no reason as I was driving the car down the road.
Power slide moonroof button broke.
Car body pops and bends as we gove slow over uneven roads or over rail road tracks.
Anti-theft sensor went bad and would not allow me to start the car, had to be towed to Toyota from grocery store.
Trim under the back of the front driver's sear came off.
General comments?
The car drives good, but feels like it sometimes can't keep up with the fast flow of traffic.
Lots of room, almost as much room as a huge full size car.
Odd dash shape, but easy to read.
Lots of neat little things built into the car.
Not really worth the money, we paid right over $30,000 for this car and it is holding up like a $8,800 GEO Metro.
The car is easy to get in and out of for a large person like myself. (300lbs)
