It?s nice and reliable.

This car is nice and reliable,but the exterior is not very stylish. The interior is comfortable, except for the fact that the fan that cools the seat feels like you?re sitting on a brick after a while. No aux input or Bluetooth.

Reliable, Stylish, & Responsive

This car has been nothing short of amazing. Bought it at 75k miles and now currently sits around 105k miles. It still pulls like new, have had almost zero issues with it. Ignition coils went bad which is typical and not hard to replace on these motors (unless it's on the rear bank of cylinders). Sound system is great for the limited model (360 watt JBL), almost every feature possible besides aux which are on newer models. Heated/cooled seats, rear reclining seats, wood steering wheel, premium wheels etc. The list goes on.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

Great styling with comfort of ride and interior.Lots of leg room in both front and rear.....incredible stereo system and all amenities standard which usually are upgrades in other vehicles......Lexus drive train and parts without Lexas price.

This Toyota is very stylish. So many bells and whi

So far it has been very dependable and a pleasure to drive. It may be a bit overkill because of all the options like reclining back seats but I?m okay with that. The stereo is awesome.

Most Horsepower & Most fuel-efficient V6 sedan!

This is by far one of the best V6 engine sedan I've ever owned. No other V6 will give you as much horsepower & as much fuel-efficiency as the 2005 Toyota Avalon during it's time era. Have researched countless online reviews and this particular vehicle always came up on top above the rest in horsepower, reliability & fuel-efficiency. Needless to say it has a spectacular appearance all the way around interior & exterior.

One of the best car I have owned till now.

If you are looking for a full-size sedan with plenty of room, power, luxury and refinement? The ultra-refined Avalon is about as good as it gets. The carefully constructed cabin is befitting of a Lexus, like new tires, premium stereo, powerful and smooth V6 engine, superb ride quality, huge rear seat. This Toyota provides luxury at less than a luxury cost. Heated leather seats! Premium JBL sound system

Crazy reliable

2005 Avalon 300,000 miles on it. Starts, runs and rides like the day I bought it. Had to replace 1 brake disk ($64) and the rack & pinion($750). Presently power steering system is leaking. Suspect it is do to the rack & pinion replacement mechanic! When one looks at cost per mile this car is a major deal. 26mpg

MUCH AHEAD OF IT'S TIME AND COMPETITION

MOST COMFORTABLE,RELIABLE,EFFICIENT AND TECH AWARE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED,AND I HAVE OWNED MANY IN MY 84 YEARS. I AM STILL A TOYOTA OWNER (RAV4-2016) AND I AM SATISFIED,IT DOES WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE,BUT I MISS MY AVALON,AND THE AC SEATS. THANKS TO THIS CAR I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH INTERACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FWD COLLISION WARNING FOR 12 YEARS NOW,COULD BE A RECORD THIS CAR NEVER SPENT A MINUTE IN A REPAIR SHOP,AND RETURNED UP TO 34mpg REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ROADS TRAVELED. IT WAS A FAITHFUL FRIEND.

A no-brainer. Best car I've ever owned!

Very comfortable, easy to get in and out, tons of leg room in the front and back seats. Solid car with plenty of horsepower!
