In addition to cumulative FE since last fillup, I'd like to have user selectable options for instantaneous FE and resettable trip FE, independent from timing of fillups. I expect to keep my 2005 Av for 4-5 more years, so model year 2011-12 would work for me. But, might as well provide it in 2008, this will give some time to iron out any wrinkles. Thanks!

If Honda can give away an XM radio free trial with the EX, Toyota can give it away with the Avalon. And standard Bluetooth, even though I no personal need for it. The fuel screens on the NAV need a major improvement as they are almost worthless. Larger seat bottoms would be nice (back to the '03 seat width and depth) and a little work on the transmission to make it like the LS 460 - 8 forward gears - slick as glass. Well...we can dream.......

Replying to: fin (Feb 28, 2007 12:06 pm) remembering that the 6 speed is continuing to create more problems with Camry and ES owners than I think the 5 speed ever created with the Avalon? I believe the 6 speed is destined for the 08 Avalon if for no other reason than mfrg. efficiencies... |

Replying to: fin (Feb 28, 2007 12:06 pm) I have to agree with you again. The 4 speed, while antiquated somewhat has never given me any problems. The only complaint that I could possibly give is that OD gear is long, and when driving around a city or 45MPH area, it will hunt, excessively for me. soo. I just push the OD off button and cut out the 4th gear. Other than that, the shifts at 88K are still smooth, especially if you let off on the accelerator slightly at the shift points. If you push the car, you obviously can feel the shifts more. All in all though, no problems, and have changed the fluid twice and filter once in 88K. Sometimes less is more. abfisch
