It will all come down to this: do I want to gamble on my liking a full-size car once I get used to it? I suspect the answer will be yes, since at bottom I'd rather have good handling and dependability than anything else.
I did look for customer reviews on line, and I see that the Avalon gets decent gas mileage and has ABS brakes too which are also pluses. In fact, the earlier Avalons (such as the 1999 and 2001 models) got better reviews than the current 2006, for which some people reported road noise problems, cruise control problems, and a nasty sulfur smell when braking.
