 Comments

 Favorite feature:

Comfort and Manual-on-a-CDDisc

 Least favorite feature:

The CD loading mechanism which forces you to cough up the first CD before loading the second one.

 Advice to buyer:

Think of the 05AV as a luxury edition of the Camry. Its looks will grow on you.

 Detailed review:

The test drive convinced me to buy my 05Av and I am still convinced of its value after owning it. It is ultra comfortable and the horsepower is there when needed. After 2 weeks of driving, i have not experienced the 22/31 mpg city/highway numbers yet, even after going from 87 to 89 octane fuel. This is said to improve after an initial 'break-in' period though. The Chrysler 300 was my car of second choice due to its stylish looks, but being 500 pounds heavier and promising onlg 14 mpg, I happily went with the Avalon.

 Also considered:
