1997 Toyota Avalon XLS review from North America
"Comfortable mid- size car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New steering gear at 95,000
One driver seat motor replaced at 85,000
New starter at 97,000
Need another driving seat motor at 107,000
New front struts installed at 95,000 knocking bad.
Loud knocking noise at the right front struts again.
General comments?
Love the front and back seats for there comfort.
For the size of the car the power is great.
Trunk size is deep and low for loading and unload.
