Car and Driver, when asked about the Toyota Avalon, said, "In the past, we’ve characterized this biggest of all Toyota passenger cars as more Buick than Buick. It was a tribute—if you can call it that—to the Avalon’s quiet, competent operation, anonymous styling, and generally unobtrusive character." The Avalon has been redesigned inside and out for 2013. Toyota has gone with a much sleeker look by changing the angles of the windows, shortening the overhangs on front and rear, and lowered the beltline. The weight has been taken down almost 120 pounds, despite the more expensive use of spot welding and increased high-strength steel in the frame. The Avalon boasts a 3.5L V6 with 268hp. The Hybrid has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with ECO and Sport modes. Inside the car, leather seats are standard and the cabin is very spacious. From the instrument panel to the multiple touchscreen displays, luxury was in mind throughout the redesign of this Avalon. There is an upgraded JBL audio system and ambient lighting to boot. Safety features include a new “variable-ratio brake pedal” that varies initial and final pedal effort, 10 airbags, stability and traction control, pre-collision mitigation, and blind-spot monitor. For more information, or to schedule a test drive, contact Milton Ruben Toyota at 7068685454.
Today, our Milton Ruben Toyota saleswoman, Kim Varner, does a walkaround of the 2013 Toyota Highlander. She will show you many of the features this competant, well valued sport utility vehicle comes equipped with. The Highlander comes with a choice of a 4- or 6-cylinder engine, intermittent wipers on the front and back, and 17- or 19 inch alloy wheels, depending on which model you choose. There are airbags all around, front and rear energy absorbing crumple zones, energy dissipating interior trim, and hill start assist control, among many other features for your safety. For more information, call Milton Ruben Toyota at 7068685454, or visit our website.
Today, we will share with you a walkaround video of the new Scion FR-S, right here in our Milton Ruben Toyota showroom. The 2013 FR-S has a 2.0L, four cylinder boxer engine with 200 horsepower. The torque at 6,600 RPMs is 151 lb/ft, and it gets 25mpg city/highway combined with the manual transmission(28mpg with automatic). This rear wheel drive FR-S is nothing like the nearly error-proof tC; if you do not have the driving skills and experience to take it out like everyone wants to drive a sports car, it will show. A good rule of thumb is to leave the stability control on while testing your prowess. The flat four sits low in the engine compartment, keeping the center of gravity low. While the manual six-speed suits the character of the FR-S better, the optional automatic with paddle shifters is quite responsive and quick-shifting. Enjoy Milton Ruben Toyota's exploratory video, and remember, this car is great fun as long as you bring your skill along. For more information, or to test drive the 2013 FR-S, visit our showroom at Milton Ruben Toyota. You can also contact a salesperson to schedule a test drive through our website.
Toyota, Scion, and Lexus took the top three spots in Consumer Reports' reliability rankings, and the Prius C, Toyota 's own subcompact hybrid vehicle came away with the best overall score. 800,000 people submitted information on more than a million vehicles from the years 2010 to 2012. These rankings are critical for auto companies, as Americans frequently cite Consumer Reports as a main source of car-buying advice. The Prius C is the smallest in the Prius family, and has 53 mpg city rating. For your safety, it has nine airbags, whiplash lessening front seats, high-tensile-strength steel body panels, front energy-absorbing crumple zone and side-impact door beams, and all of the features you may already have, including traction control and anti-lock brakes.

We have discussed the basic Toyota warranty coverage, and we have touched upon extended warranties that we offer at Milton Ruben Toyota. Today, we will go into much more detail about the choices you have when designing your extended vehicle warranty. Your powertrain warranty covers the major components of your new Toyota. The engine consists of the engine block and cylinder heads and all internally lubricated parts, seals, and gaskets. In your transmission, the transmission/transaxle case and all lubricated parts, seal, and gaskets are covered. This does not include clutch assemblies in manual transmissions. Your new vehicle’s drive axle is also covered under the powertrain warranty. This includes the differential/axle housings, all internally lubricated parts, seals, and gaskets. The platinum coverage is easier described by explaining what it does not cover. Under the platinum plan, only the following will not be covered: Brake linings, brake drums and rotors, disc brake pads, standard transmission clutch components, air bags, solar powered devices, hinges, glass, lenses, sealed beams, body parts and/or panels, trim, moldings, door handles, door lock cylinders, tires, wheels, batteries, light bulbs, upholstery, paint, bright metal, freeze plugs, heater and radiator hoses, exhaust system, shock absorbers, audio, security or other systems not factory installed, work such as front-end alignment or wheel balancing, constant velocity joint boots, safety restraint systems, cellular phones, electronic transmitting devices (except for those specifically listed under silver, gold, or gold plus coverage), radar detectors, appliances, near object avoidance systems and all laser radar cruise control components, vinyl and convertible tops. You can customize your new Toyota’s extended warranty plan to cover anything from the basics, outlined in the powertrain warranty to everything not mentioned in the platinum coverage. This being said, we invite you to contact any of our business managers at Milton Ruben Toyota, as they can tailor fit you with the extended warranty plan that will fit your needs. This is Andy O'Harrow, one of our business managers at Milton Ruben Toyota of Augusta. He can answer any of your warranty questions. 706-868-0588
The original manufacturer’s service contract, or ToyotaCare, in our case, is the initial service contract provided for a new vehicle. The ToyotaCare package includes your basic maintenance, such as oil change, tire rotation, and multipoint inspection for 24 months or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Today, we will go over the extended vehicle warranty. There are five extended warranty plans that you can choose from to protect your new vehicle and yourself from unwanted costs. Length and extent of these five plans can be altered to suit your needs. The powertrain, silver, gold, gold plus, and platinum plans cover you car against major breakdowns. You can choose basic options, covering your engine, transmission, and drive axle, you can opt for complete coverage of almost all assemblies of your vehicle, or you can custom design the plan to fit your specific needs. Milton Ruben Toyota even offers roadside assistance, car rental reimbursement, and a guaranteed price refund for your warranty plan. The purpose of these warranties is to guarantee that your new Toyota has no manufacturer defects. With any of our extended warranty plans, you can be sure to keep your vehicle on the road years longer, and avoid unexpected high repair costs for the length of your plan. Tomorrow, we will be back to break down the five different plans, so that you can choose the extended warranty that is right for you.
