Motorweek 2000 Toyota Avalon Road Test 

I've got a 2003 XLS with over 300K miles and still going strong.

Even today, over 20 years later, these cars are still good looking and I see many on the road. Much of the technology is still not found on some lower level cars. Too bad that 2022 is its swan song.

My family owned a 2000 Avalon XLS and drove it about 210,000 miles. The car was virtually bulletproof.

I have a 2000 xls fully loaded. It had 325000 miles with no check engine lights of any kind. I love this car. I plan on driving this thing until the wheels fall off.

This, the ES, LS put Cadillac and the Germans to shame, showing luxury cars can last 300,000 kms or more, and be a reliable, stress free ownership experience. Especially since Mercedes Benz were nearly at the bottom of JD Power reliability survey at that time.

Just bought an Aussie Avalon. With 182 k very impressed with the smooth power delivery

My Grandma had one of these in the 2000s, since that was when most of that side of the family started buying weird uncomfortable cars, usually too small for me, i would always demand i got to drive with Grandma when we all went out. She loves driving with comfy driving position so other than the same era Cadillac DeVille this is the perfect car for her. I still opt for the passenger seat on her Avalon over the Infiniti, Jetta, Corolla or rav4.

Aunt and uncle had a 1996 Avalon XLS immediately followed up with a brand-new 2000 Avalon XLS. I begged my parents to buy one forever. I recently acquired a 2004 Lexus LS430 and it takes me back to that era of Toyota and Lexus 😍.

had an avalon for a while. the car survived two harsh crashes. pretty much has self healing powers

Just bought a 2000 xl with bench Column shifter has been running clean these cars are pretty amazing

I have a 2000 xls with 150,000 miles. I almost just sold it but got cold feet, so i kept it :/

Beautiful the Toyota Avalon

I just bought an 03 a few days ago with the floor shifter, I LOVE IT. I wanted a bench and column shifter one but they are so hard to find.

I love these cars I had a clone of that car that I got for 500 dollars granted with 300k miles but the best car I ever owned

Inherited one and love it

I got the 2000 Toyota avalon bench seats columnshitfer with only 74,000 miles

I have a 2008 Avalon Limited with 76,000 original miles and it is loaded with all the options. I much prefer it over my 2022 Avalon Limited for quality and overall comfort.

Weird how Toyota still makes cars more American than “American” brands

Whats the value of one of these today? Im looking at one this weekend. Its a 2000 XL with 52,000 original miles. It has the bench seat and is in mint condition. Asking 8,000 is that fair?

Spectacularly engineered car. The boring but slightly awkward 1st gen is almost the same mechanically. This was repackaged with a really ungainly design. Aside from the slight uglification for 2011, every Avalon since has been pretty good looking. Sad to see such a once ubiquitous and successful nameplate die.

Still a great looking car.

I have a 00 avalon xls it is at 240k still running strong

I have one 2000 xls with 44.000 what a machine

The first time I saw one of these, I thought it was some sort of new Camry.

Excuse me? You mean 138 ft not 141 ft.

Just bought a XLS for 650 170,000 miles

Very much a year 2000 Cressida

Toyota
