1997 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLS 4dr Sedan
Not so reliable
 Owned since new.  Many disappointing problems.  Very expensive considering the number of amenities.  60k - transmssion leaks.  <100k, all steering components had to be replaced.  Power steering pump had to be replaced twice.  Tire wear is a huge problem!  This car wears out tires in 20k miles, even top rated tires.
