Pricing Information for the 2013 Toyota Avalon

Toyota's Avalon has always been known for a comfortably large interior, a soft ride, and overall classic American luxury. Well, Toyota has certainly shot up the style of the Avalon for 2013, and Toyota claims a more fun driving experience.

And, for 2013, Toyota has lowered the Avalon's base price by $2205 to $31785. You can load the regular Avalon all the way up to forty thousand dollars with the Limited trim. The total trims for the 2013 Avalon are the XLE, XLE Premium, XLE Touring, and top-shelf Limited.

The XLE comes with leather seats, heated from seats, keyless entry, a touchscreen on the dashboard, and power driver/passenger seats. The XLE Premium adds a backup camera, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a compass and garage door opener, an economical setting on Hybrid models called the "Eco Switch," and a moonroof. The Touring has fog lights, 18-inch wheels on gasoline models, Toyota's Entune multimedia system, blind spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert, side mirror and driver’s seat memory, steering wheel shift paddles on gasoline models, and an Eco switch for gasoline models. The range-topper Limited has HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, higher-quality leather upholstery on the seats, automatically dimming side-view mirrors, a color climate control screen, a higher-resolution touchscreen, and rear climate controls.

Now, there is a new Avalon Hybrid. It starts at $36350, but the base trim for the Hybrid is the XLE Premium.There is about a three thousand dollar price premium over equivalent gasoline models. The Hybrid is rated for 40/39 city/highway miles per gallon by Toyota; the EPA has yet to rate the Avalon Hybrid.

Al Avalons hit dealerships in the first half of this December. All the priced above in a $795 destination fee.

2003 Honda Odyssey EX-L Review

These pictures aren't of the actual vehicle, but the colors and trim level are correct. Those of you who have been following this blog since its inception know that my parents have two cars: a 2006 Nissan Sentra and a 2005 Mazda MPV. Well, we recently swapped our dear little MPV for a 2003 Odyssey. The reason for that is, well, there isn't much reason. It's mostly to spice things up in our lives and have a different car for a change without spending any extra money. Our Odyssey came with every bell and whistle you could get in a minivan in 2003, including a factory-installed DVD entertainment system, leather seats, heated seats in the front, and dual power sliding doors. First impressions were a mixed bag. The engine was very smooth, quiet, and powerful, apparently typical of Hondas, but there was a rough patch between 1000 and 1500 RPM or so. You can't feel the road textures at all while driving the car, but it crashed loudly over larger bumps. Loud can als

2015 Honda Accord LX Sedan Long Term Update

Hey readers! It's been a long time since I've posted on this blog. In fact, it's been more than half a year. I'm really sorry to the negative three people who read this blog regularly, but here is a new post! School is finally winding down, so I thought that I'd review the new Accord my family bought last September and give an update on how it's doing. In the highly-competitive, yet stagnating, field of midsize family sedans, the Accord has reigned as the best or second-best seller for many years. After a controversial eighth generation that ran from 2008 to 2012, the ninth generation is considered Honda's comeback to producing quality products.

Big News: We Bought a New Car!

It is an exciting day for me! As the title says, my family bought a new car! We haven't done that since 10 years ago when we bought our 2006 Nissan Sentra. There it is, parked on the driveway right after we drove home from the dealership. Isn't the color so nice? The interior is beige, too! It's the perfect color combination. Getting that car to be on our driveway, though, was a laborious and drawn-out task. We started car-shopping yesterday morning, when my dad and I test drove the Camry and Accord. At first, we headed for the Ford dealer intending to test drive the Taurus and Fusion, but it shunned us by saying that it was "too busy for test drives." There were maybe two other people at the dealership then. Whatever. We then headed to a semi-rural Honda dealership in search of an Accord. I was expecting it to be loud and firm-riding in traditional Honda fashion. Instead, it impressed me with its solidity. Unfortunately, the specific Accord we test
