2013 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I was shopping for luxury replacements for my 2007 Avalon XL when the new 2013 first showed up at my dealer.
It changed my whole perspective.
It was not like any Avalon that I had seen!
The interior was completely changed
and the tan variation was sporty and masculine.
The drive and control felt like some of the performance cars that I had before.
It was a no brainer, I could have the … looks, luxury, and performance that I wanted with the reliability of a Toyota and for $30,000 less cost (I paid cash).
I didn't realize how "nice" it could be to drive a car...I really enjoy my time on the road.
Avalon Definitely Not A Bomb

2013 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
This is our third Avalon. With that being said, it is refreshing to see that 2013 received a lot of design changes on the exterior as well as the interior. I have to say I like every one of them including the tires and wheels. We were lucky to find a 2013 with only 16500 miles on it. I think I got a fair deal, but not what I consider a great deal. I really like the ride comfort, and … the instrumentation on it. My last Avalon had the 6 disc changer instead of GPS, and it was a limited also. I would still be driving it if not for some screwball that blasted us from the back on I-40 doing 40 mph while traffic was stopped. It totaled the car. I do get 31 on the highway and it rounds out to about 25 mph on highway and city driving. I really have fallen in love with the Avalon all over again with the new design. I highly recommend anyone looking for an Avalon to pay a few extra bucks and get it loaded with a limited model. The car handles well with the Michelin tires, and I'll be giving it a total road trip from North Carolina to Florida shortly. I can't wait.
So far good except

2013 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
So I have 42k on the car. It has been reliable and low maintenance. The backs of both seats have fallen off. I went to Toyota and they said it is a common defect but since I drive a lot they want $800 to fix. It is clearly a poor design but Toyota doesn't respond. I bought the 120k bumper to bumper but was told after it isn't bumper to bumper and that they "have good sales people". My … car is embarrassing to sit in.

I've owned this car for less than a week and have 2 problems with it, the back of the driver side seat panel broke and the headliner is falling down. The sad part of this story is that Toyota knows about these problems and kept letting dealers sell this defective car. This is not an isolated incident, check Toyota Nation to read other owners with this same issue. Toyota is finally … issuing a bulletin to the dealer on these problems. The dealer will fix it under warranty but I don't feel the same, I expect a new car to be trouble free not have to be rebuilt.
