Best vehicle ever!

Very comfortable, reliable and great value. Honestly I don’t think you could buy a better vehicle at any price! This is basically a Lexus with a Toyota badge. If you are looking for a great ride, reliability and value this is your car.

Most comfortable car

It is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned right after my Lexus. Toyota is the brand you can always trust, period.

Affordable Luxury

My 2018 Avalon Limited has 8k miles on it so far. It's not as roomy as the Buick Lacrosse or Chrysler 300m I had in the past, but its more fun to drive and much more dependable. Better mileage too.

Top Notch Car with Second Rate Navigation System

I love the car. It performs, is comfortable, no mechanical trouble at all, many drivers aids - lane monitoring, automatic dimming of lights, etc. However, the nav system, which only works through a phone is a distraction, and often will not function as expected.

2018 Avalon, not what it once was.

This is my third Avalon previous 2 were 2003 and 2010. The comfort level and amenities are less than the previous models. Disappointed they dropped the Pandora from on screen menu. Over all slightly disappointed in this car may not make the typical 7 or 8 years.

Handles horrible in the snow.

On the first snow day, half way to my destination my whippers froze and refused to work no matter what I did to them. Rear window defrost doesn't work.

It's a toyota - what more to say

Just bought this used, and it still looks brand new. Impressed with how it handles, and how spacious it is inside. Looking forward to owning this long term.

Third Avalon I have owned and by far the worst.

Harsh ride, poor fuel economy. All of the electronic items very user unfriendly. Poor backup lights, Owners manual very difficult to understand. Over sensitive steering.

Most comfortable vehicle that I have owned

After test driving other cars in the large sedan field this was clearly the best driving vehicle with exceptional pickup and the only complaint is that the screen always have two screens showing and there is no way to keep one.
