 I bought my 97 Avalon XL (bench front 
seat) two years ago and I really 
enjoying this car. Previously I owned 
Nissan Maxima, Lincoln Mark VII, BMW 
528 and Lincoln Towncar but none of 
these cars made to 80000 miles without 
ANY problems. What I like the most 
about Avalon its RELAIBLE, it's big, 
quiet and comfortable. The only thing I 
dont like in this car is design of 
radio and CD changer (Not dashboard). I 
would recommend this car to anybody who 
is looking for passenger car.
