The Avalon is a great option, but check out the V6 Camry with leather interior. You might like it just as much for less cost.

My wife and I both drive Camrys (Camries? Camri?) because they are so reliable and such good values. We had been seriously considering upgrading to an Avalon when the new body style came out and we were looking for a car for her. We drove the new and old style Avalons and Camrys and some used ones.

Ultimately we bought a used Camry V6 XLE with leather and all the bells and whistles. We liked the used Camry V6 more than the new Avalon and it was easily half the price. We're a couple of years into it now and love it more than ever. We like it a lot more than the Camry with the smaller engine we bought brand new.

Ownign a Camry as a daily driver makes a lot of sense. I don't apologize for it. The money I save driving them makes it possible to drive my Porsche and still save a fe bucks each month for my next vehicle.
