Funny, my 40 year old cars don’t need to be rebooted. Nor my BMW of the same age as the cars in question… Why would these Toyotas spring so many leaks and have so many rubber failures at such low mileage?
To me, it’s a question of use, fit, and expected gas budget. A big, inefficient car like an Avalon will eat more gas, and the necessity to have the space, or not, goes into the equation…
Yes I wouldn't expect that either, good point! Even at 15 years old and 183,000 mi my Crown Vic has more recently shown that it needs some front-end work.
For me it's a little bit of both I appreciate efficiency as I drive 90 miles a day. The Avalon is rated at 28 highway with many people reporting 30 plus.
I do also need space though as I have two children both in car seats still.
If I do make a move, seems like Avalon is the easy choice in my case.
