CHEAP INTERIOR LEATHER

The interior FAKE leather on the center console and arm rests have worn off on my 2017 Toyota Avalon.I paid Toyota to replace the leather,and it's doing it again.Also the color is coming off the steering wheel.They say "Sorry your warranty has expired".

Amazing

Great value for what you get. It is an spacious interior and gorgeous exterior car. Very low road noise and great gas mileage. I love this car.

Love my Avalon!

I bought this car for my retirement present to myself. I chose well, it is reliable, classy, and full of get up and go! Having less money in retirement will make this car a Great value for me because of not needing many repairs.

Comfortable Luxury At A Reasonable Price

With very few "full size" cars to choose from, Toyota has cut no corners on Avalon. Slightly larger than a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord but you can tell the difference. It's basically a Lexus without the surcharge of the Lexua nameplate. It's not a mass produced car so you may have to travel a bit to find what you want. If you find one, don't wait too long, as the ones that are "correctly priced" disappear fast. You also can't beat the Certified Toyota Pre-Owned Warranty. Seven years or 100,000 total miles from when YOU purchase. The 7yrs starts with you, not the original owner!!! That tells me Toyota has real confidence in their car!!!

Avalon luxury and reliability.

Avalon checked all the boxes for me. Great styling, spacious and luxury interior, and best of all great engine performance. Impressed with the comfortable and quiet driving experience. Extremely reliable. Highly recommended!

Great Car!

The Avalon has a very nice ride, and comfortable seats. I really like the heated and cooled leather seats. The engine has plenty of power and the stereo is also very good. Overall a very nice package!

This is my first Toyota is 20 yrs, i should have had some before now. The Avalon is great. The 2017 is nice but the 2019 n 2020 are a beast. I will be getting the 19 in late 2020 when the price is right.

Upgrade from Camry

Owned a Camry for several years and a Lexus ES. Found this car to be better than either. You must try it. Drives great with plenty of power from the tried and true 3.5 engine.

Defect

My side panel next to the driver's seat kept slipping off, after snapping it back on a couple times it seemed like it was going to break if I kept doing this. Since my car is still under warranty I thought Toyota would fix it, but was told since I broke it they wouldn't cover it. It broke because of the defect!

1st I've owned in this price range

I would have never looked at this vehicle had it not been for the great price. I saw this and decided I'd like a nice car for once in my life and this has not disappointed me. I come from the Forte & Elantra size vehicles so this is quite the step up. Very nice ride, quieter at speed than I'm used to and leather to boot.
