"I wanted to buy American, but there was nothing, in it's class, with the same blend of interior space, performance, trunk space and price. It's big on the inside but not on the outside. More leg space in the back seat than any car I've owned. Drives quiet, smooth, strong and gets good gas mileage. Very comfortable car. Trunk holds four golf bags, which was a must for me. I don't understand all the doors on the dash and console, but it does look very clean when they are all closed. I haven't owned it long enough to know how reliable it's going to really be."

"This was one of the roomiest cars on the road. If you have large friends or family, they will love it. I never did any maintenance to it except oil, and tires. The spare tires is still a "large spare tire". I had the Limited Series and there was nothing else you could have on it. Variable cruize control( don't think they offer it this year?) loved it. I had a package holder in the trunk (attached to the trunk itself) that had different compartments for misc items. Console room.30-32 HWY. I always had lots of complements ."

"Bought a limited a couple of weeks ago after much research and reading the reiviews. All I read was right on the money! No car is perfect but this one comes close. It was a one owner lease return and I happened to be at the dealership at the right time and got a good deal. Love the heated and cooled seats- perfect for Arizona. Bluetooth and JBL sound are great. Ride, power of the V6 are awesome. Handling is better than I thought it would be even if it's not sporty. Look forward to many years cruising with this car in town and on trips. Would definitely recommend!"

"I have owned a Toyota Tercel/Corolla and Camery XLE. (And the Honda Odessey x2) Love Toyota's quality and reliability. The Avalon Limited 2008 isno different but it has the luxury w/o the price tag of other luxury cars. Love it. Con: side mirrors do not fold in."

"Have driven my Avalon for two years. Ride, comfortable seats, limo-like legroom in rear seat area, power, quality, quietness, fit & finish are best I ever had. Truly an Interstate cruiser and the best part...nothing breaks...all it ever needs is an oil change every 5,000! Great car!"

"I purchased this 2008 XLS new. It has all the features of a Lexus at much less cost. It handles beautifully, rides smooth, and has great braking. I love it's sharp turning radius. I get appx. 20-21 MPG around town and 32 MPG on the highway. The acceleration is very impressive and I very much like the interior layout. The sound system is beautiful."

"I recently purchased a 2008 XLS and I love it. I owned a Lexus 400 before driving this one and I can honestly say that I'm enjoying my Avalon more. It handles so well and has great features. It is so roomy and has a lot of different compartments. The trunk is HUGE and so is the back seat. I would definately recommend this car to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. (Just hope it's not anytime soon!) It also really does get good gas milage."

"Traded from Camry to Avalon, good looks, powerful at highway speeds, great mileage (comparable to camry on highway). With three children, two of them in car seats, back seat has more than enough room. Did plenty of research before even going for a test drive the only negative I read was that this car was not for the younger crowd. Bought car in July 2008, it's a 2006 XL and it has plenty of oomph when you need it or want it!!"

"The Avalon gives great gas mileage for a car of this size.I regularly get 35 miles per gallon on the highway and it runs on regular gas. It has excellent acceleration. There is a lot of room on the inside, I am six feet four and there is plenty of head and leg room. I have over thirty thousand miles on this car and no repairs of any kind have had to be made. My other car is a Lexus gs 300 and I consider the two cars similar in quality and materials, You could put a Lexus nameplate on this car and sell it for $10,000 more. The styling is a little too conservative, this is the only fault I can find with this car"

"I love this car! Need I say more? I have owned many Toyotas but was looking for one a bit larger in scale and I found it in this. I have to question their thinking on a few things however. The lesser Touring model has Xenon headlights as does the Limited. The XLS does not. Why no seat heaters? GPS navigation is OK but tends to "give up" in residential neighborhoods. My AT&T Blackberry GPS does a better job. No problems with the car. GREAT gas mileage."
