My mom's actually has had problems with her '06 Avalon, the oxygen sensor kept going off and her gas door broke on it. Look into Buick, they were tied with another brand as the most reliable make on the road.

Why should I also consider these? X

Each of these alternatives favors ride comfort over tight handling response, but also has decent straight-line acceleration.

The Lucerne V-6 and the Azera both have 3.8-liter V-6 engines and aren't as responsive as the Taurus, but the Lucerne is available in Super trim, which adds a 292-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8.

Next to either of these rivals, the Avalon is quieter and more refined inside.

Another alternative is the Chrysler 300, which comes in an economical rear-wheel-drive base model or with all-wheel drive in upscale Touring trim.

The Taurus, which was recently called the Five Hundred, has a very nicely appointed interior and an especially spacious backseat, and its 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic are very responsive.

The 300 also has a powerful HEMI V-8 available.

But the 300 might not be as appealing to the crowd that favors ride comfort and space above all else; it's less roomy inside and not nearly as refined and quiet.
