 This is my 2nd Avalon (first was a '98 XLS) and have been disappointed in quality.  AC hose clogged at 35k miles, soaked & ruined the carpeting; oil line broke (28k miles) and I lost all engine oil on the road.  Added oil to limp into the dealership.  Engine noise (ticking exhaust) makes it sound like an old Chevy.  Paint quality is average.  I want my '98 Avalon back!
