Wow, its been a tough few weeks for my '06 Avalon. First my uncle rear ends me on the way to a wedding and dings up the rear bumper. Then my Grandfather's neighbor smashes in the fender and creases the door (while its parked). Now, its at the dealer for a check engine light that was the O2 sensor. Covered under warranty and fixed quickly, however, my question is: has anyone had this problem? I would think 28K miles is a little premature for this part. Oh well, this was the first unscheduled dealer visit in over 2 1/2 years so I am not complaining. Heck even with the bad part my weeked trip yielded 27.8 MPG cruising at 75 - 80 with a fair amount of city driving... not bad.

Despite the one unsatisfied customer above, I've never personally met anyone with a bad Avalon. The car seems to be gathering an audience of larger car, comfortable, roomy and luxurious cars, but not quite ready for the Lexus buyers, who want decidedly more than a long Camry, and they're going to kill the car? What did they do, hire a bunch of GM executives now? I think that's just crazy.

Replying to: nimimi (Oct 09, 2008 7:42 am)  The American driving public is not ready for 'wwest's' mass exodus back to our roots. Wishful thinking, I'm afraid.
