My First Toyota  
2005 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Not  up to Toyota hype of Quality
 In for service many, many times for rattles and squeaks. Noise was in both front and back of vehicle.  Original set of tires lasted 19,000 miles and was told by the dealer this is common for that car. They are expensive to replace as are the wiper blades.  Rear brakes showing more wear than front (odd for a front wheel drive car) and will have to be replaced in approx. 5-10 thousand miles.  Mileage on the road is down about 3 miles per gallon since new.  All in all I guess I am disappointed in my Toyota ownership experience. It is not that it is a bad vehicle, but it simply does not live up to the quality Toyota advertises.
