Or maybe you have a reoccuring ankle or knee problem. And it may be sports related and not because you'll old. Maybe intolerant people should take a step back.

peace,
 
but you say you experienced the transmission and you still bought the car anyway, right?
 
the original poster was making a point to clue other people in that the option was a poor value.
 
and no, DBW doesn't have to "work" that way.

We are in Chetticamp, Nova Scotia, on our tour of the Province with the new Avalon. First oil change in Sydney en route. So far so good, and I won't say more because good news seems to irritate some folks.
We found our B&B has internet so here goes.
Just dropped in to express some curiosity. What's all the fuss about a remote starter that shuts the engine off when doors are opened. I don't have one, nor need one (BTW our Winters are a lot worse than New Hampshire by a long way!). But doesn't it make sense to have the device do just that? Example: You're still in your home, car in driveway, remotely started, and a thief decides to scoop the car? Makes sense to me! I also suggest that behaving like a juvenile when something doesn't work the way you want it to (never having tried it beforehand) is a little foolish. Even more so when carrying a pistol around to mete out vigilante justice. A bizarre way to make a point IMO!
Rest assured we'll avoid New Hampshire in our travels, where 'shoot first and ask questions later' is the way differences get settled!

I meant the revolver thing as a joke when talking to the local rep, she laughed so apparently she realized it for what is was. I really do not carry my Ruger, as it is too heavy, a much smaller Rohrbaugh 9mm is more suited for that. I keep forgetting that there is a large percentage of the earths population who chose to be a victim rather than to protect family,friends and property. That is everyones right, that is to expect someone such as a police officer to protect their butts. I'd rather accept my responsibility. Get back to you when I have more time to waste.

I returned only to correct a mistake. I referred to 'New Hampshire' in my post instead of 'Upstate New York'. Sorry for the unintended slight to NH.
Have to say this though:
Carrying a weapon with stated intent to use it for any such purpose is no joke. Claiming it as a 'responsibility to protect one's butt' is.
Don't bother getting back, thanks. Not interested, and besides, we're on the road again soon and may not have further internet availability.

I have been monitoring this forum ever since we purchased our 2005 Avalon (Limited)in February 2005. We had previously owned a Lincoln LS which was a complete and total disaster. I am happy to say that we have 14K miles on the Avalon and have been very pleased with the car thus far. Unlike some of the people who have posted, our experience with the laser guided cruise has been good and I use it often, however, there is very little traffic on my work commute.
 
I do agree with many posters that the navigation system is difficult to use. Our other car is an Acura TL (2004) and the navigation system is superior by a very very very large margin. I have not experienced any of the transmission issues documented in this forum.
 
I did have a squeak in the rear seats which the dealer could not fix. I figured it out myself and fixed it with a quick adjustment of a single bolt. Overall this car has been great. It is my sixth toyota and is performing to the top quality standards that I have come to expect.
 
Have a great trip and do not hesitate to point out the good as well as the trouble spots.

for remote start, refere message #12923 of 12935
 
for ipod, you have to contact SE region toyota dealers and see if they can sell them to you as accessiores and ship it to you if you are not in the SE region, I'm not allow to give you the information where I got it from, but the price is 180 for the adapter, and yes, it's OEM and works with the steering wheel control.

I once heard this one and thought I'd pass it on for what it's worth; " It's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six!"
