A Lexus with a Toyota badge - but about this engine...

Pros Spacious, comfortable, powerful, quiet, good fuel economy

I purchased a used 2000 Toyota Avalon back in June of 2005 from a local Toyota dealer's used car lot.  At the time, it had 70,000 miles on it.  A Carfax report indicated that it had one previous owner who lived in a small, remote town about 60 miles away from the nearest major city, which explained...

I bought my silver 2000 Avalon XLS in August 2004 for $12,000.00. The odometer read 106,000 miles. My Asian mechanic buddy advised me to buy it. I have never regretted it. I plan to keep the car a total of 6 years and then to buy a 2004 Avalon XLS; it's the last one of the same body style.

Bought my 2000 avalon in 2005. Bought it at a shady dealer so the car had issues I found out afterward. Not toyota's fault there. Replaced all 4 struts, again not toyota's fault. Car had 68k miles on it and I believe it was a corporate car, or leased car. Signs of kids having riddin in it. Again... Read full review »

2000 Avalon XL....and 2005 Is the Time to Buy One!

byMark_A. Nov 13, 2005
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Comfortable, practical, well-engineered and durable. Even after all these years.
Cons Floppy trunk, bland styling on the XL, "old-person" car
Recommended it? Yes

I love writing reviews on old cars. So many people have already rang in with their opinion of this car that it seems like any additional information would be old news. Or would it be? Maybe not. For the frugal among us who still enjoy the finer things, now might be the time to find a nice, gingerly... Read full review »

Great deal used

Pros Spacious interior, gas mileage, smooth drive.
Cons Dashboard styling a bit lincolnish. Car so quiet, can put you to sleep.
Recommended it? Yes

We recently purchased a 2000 Avalon on Ebay. I am quite pleased with this car. It is a really refined car, quiet and smooth. I've been playing with the trip computer to see what kind of gas mileage it can get, and found that it maxes out at about 32, if I coast along at 55. At 75, however, it still... Read full review »

Pros Interior cabin design, lots of gadgets, quiet engine, fast power windows.
Cons Driver seat seems to make my extreme lower back hurt sometimes.

I bought the car 3 weeks ago and I am very impressed with it with the exception of one thing. Sometimes at highway speeds the steering wheel begins to shake, sometimes very little and sometimes very bad. Already made an apointment to get it looked at. Otherwise the car is fantastic on the open road... Read full review »

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A SQUEAK, POP AND RATTLE TRAP, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. DEALER GAVE UP ON TRYING TO STOP THE DASH RATTLES AND SAID THEY SIMPLY COULD NOT STOP THE SQUEAKS AND RATTLES FROM RETURNING.

Pros Wonderful heated seats, tons of room & trunk storage
Cons I wish I had gone for an '01 for the LATCH System.

I traded in my 2 seater when I got pregnant for a 2000 Avalon. My husband bought a 97 4 runner limited new and has put 100K on it. So another toyota was what we wanted. I wanted a good family car, but with heated seats and leather. The camery was nice, but I felt cramped after being in my friends... Read full review »

I HATE THIS CAR!

Pros seating for 5, leather seats, JBL sound system
Cons limited cargo space, sluggish engine, clock mounted in a weird spot, narrow car.
Recommended it? No

This car is horrible! Even though it has a v6, the japanese engine sounds like a 4 cylinder! The engine is very slow, and there isn't really a lot of cargo space if you go on long trips. The whole design of the car is weird from the oddball taillights to the skinny tires. The clock is weirdly... Read full review »

Avalon - A Lexus in disguise.

The Avalon is an extremely competent performer. It is very smooth and silent and wafts along as if it were riding on a cloud. It's turbine smooth and silent V6 is a strong and flexible performer and returns very good fuel consumption. The Avalon feels much smaller than it's dimensions suggest and... Read full review »

Pros Great reliability, Comfortable ride
Cons Sometimes jerks with hard acceleration, especially up hills

I'm just reaching 30K miles on my Avalon, and have had absolutely no problems with it. It gets reasonably good gas mileage, and has a very comfortable ride. My only complaint is that the center air vents do not have any option to close the airflow. Their limited range of motion means somebody in... Read full review »

Pros Lots of room even for tall people. Quiet, smooth and powerful
Cons Unusual dash design causes tall people to see lots of reflection in windshield

Like many other reviewers, I have owned many Toyotas over the years starting with a 1975 Celica. I have always preferred the reliability they offer, even though initial cost and after market parts are a little higher.
The Avalon is the best Toyota sedan yet. At my over 6 foot height, I have... Read full review »

Since we have gotten our 2000 Avalon, we have taken all our family trips in it. (family of 4) It's spacious and comfortable even for those long drives. It's quite nice as a passenger and absolutely wonderful as a driver.

Bought my Avalon XLS one year ago today and have been extremely pleased with it. Was hesitant when first considering the Avalon, thinking it was an "old person's" car and too big. But when I compared the Camry and the Avalon side by side, the actual exterior size of the cars was almost identical... Read full review »

Cons Dashboard Reflection

I bought the Avalon in February 2000. I looked at several other cars, but after we'd purchased a Corolla for my wife in '99, I became hooked on Toyota. The build quality is very good.

No squeeks, no rattles, more than a year later. I find that after I'm away on business, I really enjoy... Read full review »
