Absolutely love this car

I've spent a lot of time behind the wheel in this car over the past nine years and 175,000 miles. I usually replace cars every 3-4 years, and have never owned a car for this long. Planned on selling it at 300k miles (in a few years) and getting another used Avalon. Could not ask for a better, more reliable, low-maintenance vehicle.

I love this car

I think one reviewer described it as "the ultimate combination of performance and luxury". Yeah .. that. Exterior design is the only negative but then very very few cars stand out in a good way now.

Comfortable and Spacious!

My wife wanted something smaller than her Towncar. The Avalon fit the bill: It was smaller on the outside, but still offered a spacious interior, a comfortable and quiet ride, and other things important to her, like heated seats and 6 CD Changer. It has been very dependable.

Best car I have ever owned.

I absolutely love my Toyota Avalon. It is a very roomy and comfortable car. It rides great and gives me great gas mileage. It is a 2008 model and I still get 25 miles to the gallon which is awesome. It is a stylish looking car and I really love driving it all the time. I plan to buy another Avalon the next time I need a new car.

Magnificent

This is our second avalon for my wife , first was a 2001 with 168k miles which we sold to a high school kid cuz her parents wanted a reliable car for their daughter. Absolutely the best bang for the buck (any year avalon). Reliable, beautiful,roomy, powerful and luxurious. My wife puts snow tires on the car in the winter and this car (as did the 01) goes through anything up here in NH that mother nature wants to put us through. Another great point most people dont think about is that you dont have to waste money on premium gas like you would have to with most other luxury vehicles (25-30% savings in fuel cost). I know this pain, my car is a yukon xl denali that needs premium gas and gets 13 mpg. If you are thinking about buying one, there is nothing I can think of to discourage you.

Smooth in the road

It runs great can. Lock of hearing from outside when driving 70 miles/hr. feeling very comfortable. It's save, it has a strong body, and wide car.

The best full sized car you can buy.

If you are looking for a reliable full sized car, look no further than the Toyota Avalon. The newer versions are not as roomy as the 2008 model. I banged my head getting into a 2019 Avalon, but I never had to duck to get into my 2008 Avalon.
