2001 Toyota Avalon Sedan XL 4dr Sedan w/Bucket Seats (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
8 yrs of comfort, speed, reliability
 After years we still love our efficient, fast, luxurious, super comfortable silent, low maintenance Toyota Avalon 2001 XL.  We're both demanding drivers, but it puts up with our abuse, even jumping a tree trunk in front of the car in  a snow storm and still coming out of it without wrecking.  After 134,00 miles we finally are replacing original struts and shocks.  A minor thing is that the check engine light comes on and off off late with an error code that may point to something related to the oil valve. At this moment the light is off though. Probably the new age of sensors comes with that kind of electronic oversensitivity.
