Reliable and Stylish: A Smart Investment

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

This is a great, reliable, and affordable-to-drive car. I have put over 200,000 miles on it, and it still drives wonderfully. I wish that the gas mileage was a little bit better, but I can't complain. I can usually get by putting $20 a week in my car, as long as I don't drive for long distances. The seats are very comfortable, the speakers work great, and the heating/air in the car couldn't be better. I am very happy with this purchase, and I am looking to get another Toyota when I need to replace this car.

I love my 2002 Toyota Avalon

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

I love my Toyota Avalon! It's been a wonderful vehicle. It gets great gas mileage. I use it to travel and get back and forth to work. It needs very little work. I have had the vehicle for three years and have only had it worked on twice. Though it is seventeen years old, it's the most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned. I love Toyota!

Worth the money and reliable Toyota. I love it.

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

It is a really good car. It is been running since 2002 without a problem. They only problem is one of the belts makes a squeak sometimes. It is when I turn on the air conditioning in the summer. We've had the belt tightened, and that'll fix it for a bit. Overall I love this car. It is reliable, which is important to me.

My car, the Toyota Avalon, review

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

I love my car, I think it works great. The air conditioning is very good and even though the car is an old model, from 2002, it works perfectly and is in good condition. The car drives very smoothly and has no problems besides the steering wheel making noises. The interior of the car is great.

Trouble free and comfortable.

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

Over 240000 miles with no major problems. Purchased used about 6 yrs ago with 135000 miles on it. Use mobile one synthetic oil and fram filter and change @6000 miles. Change timing belt every 90000 miles. Runs great and very comfortable. Even the back seats have great room and comfort.

5 years later and I have no issues with the car!

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

I've had the car for about 5 years. I bought it used. There was only 1 owner before me. The Previous owner never drove it. In the time I've had it I've only had to do repairs once. The car has held up well. No issues driving. It is very spacious inside. It's been a great purchase

Avalon..dependable meets smooth

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

Love the gas mileage!! The dependability and smooth ride. It is so quiet I sometimes have to check to make sure it is running. The trunk is roomy. On the flip side...the seats are not as comfortable as they could be..and the headroom seems minimal and very noticeable

Toyota: Dependable Used Car.

2002 Toyota Avalon XL

I bought my car used. It has not had many problems since I bought it. I did have to replace the alternator. I was told that it had the original one on it. I love my car. I had not been sold on Toyota before. However, now that I own one. I am totally in love with it.

- Connie T
