Joe-Fix-It 
2008 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We Upgraded From BMWs to the Avalon
 After seven BMWs and several other German cars we got smart. No more arrogant service department and $1500 bills to fix something. We upgraded to the Avalon. A summer vacation trip with four adults and lots of luggage saw mileage range from 29 to a high 36 MPG on regular. The rear reclining seats are worth the price of admission.  The 'Bluetooth' is simple to set up and use. Best of all is the interior room and comfortable ride. We are a very tall family (I'm 6' 2" and the shortest one).   After @18000 miles we have had NOTHING that needed fixing or adjusting
