"Researched extensively before purchase. Great car, good gas mileage, very comfortable. The trunk holds more than expected. We traded in our 2002 Highlander Limited, both cars are exceptional"

"After having 2 Maximas what was I thinking. There is no comparison in the two companies. Toyota is superior all the way. What a smooth ride and braking system. Very easy controls and use. Low insurance cost. We are thinking of buying a second avalon limited."

"It may say OLD, but it says it with comfort! After 1500 miles, the only complaint I would have would be the wandering steering. Other than that, it's a winner!"

"This is my third avalon, I feel this is even better than a lexus. I was going to "upgrade" to the GS330, However the price difference of over $15,000.00 was not a value. the lexus had re-wheel drive and an electric tilt/telescoping steering wheel, but that was it. They where both wisper quiet on the road and full of ammenities. This is the best value in mid priced luxury cars out there."

"I looked for a replacement for my 2006 Acura TL for about 6 months before finally deciding to buy the Avalon. When I looked at the content I was receiving, anticipated reliability, features, and comfort it was an easy decision. The Avalon has a very intuitive driver interface. The GPS, radio controls, blue tooth phone system are all very easy to understand and use. More then I can say for a lot of cars I test drove. Ride quality and interior space are exceptional. With the general restyling that was done in 2011 the interior shouts luxury. The redesigned body is not going to win any awards but it is easy to live with and shares a lot of design features with cars costing much more. The motor is surprisingly quick, uses regular fuel, and regularly returns over 30 mpg on the road. On the road the car is rock solid and very quiet. You won't mistake it for a sports car on a curvy road but it still feels very connected. The suspension settles quickly and makes the driver feel very much in control. Ride quality is excellent and the premium stereo system is truly worth the money. Seats have very little side support but are very comfortable and adjustable in ways I had never thought of. If you can't get comfortable in this car, there is something wrong. This is the first Toyota that I have owned but given their reputation for dependability I don't think I will be disappointed. I also received two years of oil changes and general maintenance as part of the selling price. That could save me a couple hundred dollars over that period. As I said, when I looked at the perceived value the decision to purchase the Avalon became much easier. The more I drive the car the more I like it and in the end I guess that is what it is all about."

"This car lives up to the hype that it's nearly at the Lexus/Acura level for a lot less money. I think of it as my living room on wheels. Long trips have been very comfortable, with 31 mpg at speeds in the low 70s. Interior noise is not bad, but still an area for improvement."

"Retired my Camry with 185,000 for the Avalon. The ride on the Avalon is harder than my old camry. Does not take bumps well, I can feel the bumps through the seat and up my back. I also discovered a bad design problem when I had my oil changed. The V-6 has a different oil filter that holds a drop-in filter,not the screw on type. The new filter requires a replacement O-ring that must be on properly or it will Leak! I was going on a long drive but stopped for gas when I noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. When I opened the hood there was oil everywhere. The oil leak was so bad I had to have the Avalon towed back to the dealer. So much for reliable!"
