"Great car for the money!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing but wear items.

Replaced tires at 62K miles.

Rear brake pads at 80K.

Too bad the big three manufacturers can't make cars this good!

General comments?

Great car. Used to own 2 FORD lemons! Absolutely no problems with the car.

Gets 26-28 freeway mpg going 70-75 mph. Great for a large car. Hope to keep it to 300K miles or more.

Will replace it with another Toyota. Wanted to buy American (GM, Ford, Chrysler - now DC) but coworkers get 200K+ on their Toyotas without replacing engine or tranny. Several people bought Toyotas based on my pleasant experience with my car.

Bought a 1998 Avalon with 96000 miles and am extremely pleased with the comfort and power of the automobile. Over all, I am very pleased with the reliability of the car. The only complaint I have is it does not ride as smooth on the road as my Camry does. I considered new struts, but my mechanic said at those miles they should still be good. Well I am going to try a new set of tires and hope this improves the overall ride of the car.
