2011 Toyota Avalon consumer reviews

GREAT CAR. GOOD SOUND SYSTEM. LOVED THE BLUETOOTH, SOUNDED LIKE THE PERSON I WAS TALKING TO WAS MY PASSENGER. TOOK FOR A TEST DRIVE AND ENDED UP BUYING THE SAME DAY.

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.

rides and handles like a lexus 460 / requires regular gas! AWD would make it super! Eques and MKS step aside!

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!

This is my second Toyota. I love the luxury of this car. Everything about it is just great. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable auto.

" This is the last car we'll ever own!"-my wife. And it pro9bably is!!! We enjoy the comfort, ride, versatility and gas mileage, 27/32 mpg. My only complaints, minor, are somewhat soft braking, and lots of bells & whistles (literally) which can be confusing at times. The cooled seats are wonderful, especially in 95 degree heat. Sound system is excellent. We look for reasons to take it for a spin.:)

VERY happy with the purchase. Lexus quality for a Toyota price. What more could you ask for? I am sold on this car.

We purchased the car in November of 2010 after seeing one at our local car show. The overall appearance of the car was the first "wow" and the front seats with adjustable lumbar support and heating were the second. The car has yet to disappoint us in any way. Mileage is as advertised or better and the overall comfort, both driver and passenger, is excellent. The car has abundant power and transfers that power to the wheels effortlessly. We have found only one very small detail to quibble about: the center console could benefit from some form of low level ambient lighting.

When looking to replace my 2000 Avalon, I checked out the Lexus line, but came to the conclusion that the 2011 Avalon was a better value and an extremely nice vehicle. It has plenty of interior room (bigger than my 2000) and has a great, quiet ride. Probably the only complaint I have is the location of the USB plug and the charger plug. They are hard to get at within a storage compartment. Otherwise, I am very happy with this car and look forward to many years of enjoyment.

In many respects, this is a great car - if only! Where is the push button start- our Corolla has pushbutton start. Where are the HID headlights? Where are the self leveling headlights? Toyota?s top vehicle, just redesigned in 2011 and none of the nice features available in the Corolla (HID?s excluded). A comfortable car for the late 20 th Century. Good acceleration, comfortable, just disappointing in creature comforts and safety features like HID?s, self leveling headlights, pushbutton start, etc. If you are interested in an Avalon, consider a Lexus.
