I love all the new technology on the Avalon

This Avalon has a really comfortable ride and I like the lane warn device and the waning when you get too close to another vehicle.

Good but not up to Standard

Our family has owned five Toyotas since 2010. Best by far was 2011 Avalon Limited. The 2018 Avalon XLE has uncomfortable seating and is noisier inside. Even so, I consider it a good value - just not up to par with other Avalons we have owned.

You get the most for your money

I?ve had several Avalons, they just keep getting nicer and a better value for your money than any other brand. Superior creation, great performance and tremendous reliability.

OK but.....

I bought this 2018 Avalon XLE thinking it would be as good as my 2011 Limited. Technically it is far superior but the seating and interior noise is not what I had hoped for. Too bad but even so, it was a good value.

Quiet, smooth ride

Quiet, comfortable ride. Great gas mileage; tons of safety and smart car features. Definitely a keeper! Will be a great car for my stepdaughter when she starts driving next year.

Avalon Great Hybrid

It is a very nice ride. The MPG could be better for a hybrid. I do like the handling. The radar cruise is very handy for interstate driving.

Not Impressed

Test drove a 2018 Avalon in advance of leasing next car. The first thing that struck me was the inferior interior. Hard plastic parts where soft materials should be. My old Mazda 3 interior put this Avalon to shame, and it had a 33K sticker price! It drove fine but I couldn't get over their low budget interior. Back to Mazda...

Toyota Family

We have owned Toyotas for many years. We test drove a new Avalon, which was great, but eventually, we traded in our Camry, kept an older Avalon, and bought a Highlander. The new Avalon was great; we were just looking for something different.
