Whoa there, boy!
My 1991 Cressida is
1) Weaker than my dad's 96 Avalon
2) A hell of a lot noisier
3) Ride quality only marginally better
4) Gets 1/2 the MPG (15 compared to 30)
Though the looks and craftsmanship kick the Avalon square in the nuts
But my dad's avalon is a nice car, still. Extremely spacious, and dead quiet.
What hidden temp controls do you speak of? Are you talking about the knob that lets you select 65, 75, 85 degrees, etc? It is very slick but my A/C doesnt work
I just got the car from my dad and I'm trying to fix it up.
It has 200,000 miles and a few months ago, when I got the car, I took it from sitting idly for a year in the garage (Blown headgasket, again), and replaced the engine and motor mounts with replacements. I got a Japanese 7M-GE and stuck it in.
I just now want to find out whats causing the noise and slowness. I know that the motor has a lot of power, but I need to optimize it. Going with NGK plugs and wires, and maybe later a turbo. I have plans for an automatic-to-manual swap, and want to have it done next summer.
