Touring vs. XL, XLS suspension/handling by snoopy185

I am looking at purchasing a used Avalon ('07 or '08). I have read that the Touring has a slightly stiffer/sportier suspension. For those who have driven both, is there really a significant difference in the Touring suspension/handling and that of the XL or XLS?

Hi, I just purchased a 2006 Avalon Limited. How can I reset the Avg MPG? I could not find any info in the users manual and seem to have tried everything.
 
Thanks, Dave

My wife has had this occur a few times, I just washed off the engine, to make sure it was not from grime, we took it for a drive, and yes there is a faint burning plastic/rubber smell coming from around the exhaust, catalitic? area.
any help would be grand
thanks

You cant. It resets only when you put gas in the tank.

It resets each time you fill the tank. There is no other way that I know of.

I wonder what they were thinking when they did not offer an option to reset the mileage manually.

branch15,
sorry for the late response, I have not been here in a while. The $121 was for tsb0296-08, lube intermediate shaft. That did not work. They then did column assy, steering. I believe that this was tsb st002-06. The first time they did it 12/07, they said it would have been $450 plus labor which on the current job was $106. The second replace st002-06, 1/09 parts $695, labor $106. I had to pay the $121 for lube job, which did not help. Toyota picked up $695 for parts and dealer covered labor, $106 because I paid the $121 for failed lube job. Good luck.

jim2006,
If your Toyota dealer did TSB0296-08 for $121 you fared pretty well. I had the same TSB done last week at 63,000 miles. Parts were $25.85, labor $174.87 and misc/tax was $22.73 for a total of $223.45 because they said they would not cover it under warranty. My labor rate in Minneapolis may be higher than yours so $121 total still isn't bad. I hope it fixes my "clunk" permanently but if not I will see what they are willing to do. I will remember TSB002-06, 1/09 as the fix if the clunk returns. Do you have any correspondence from Toyota on this last fix, agreeing to provide parts free?
