"Traded in an '08 Acura MDX for my new 2013 Avalon Hybrid Limited and three days later I'm still high with exuberance that I don't expect will wear off anytime soon. Let me qualify myself as a motorhead from the age of five, car guy all my life, even retired from a lifelong career in automotive. This car is the most unbelievable, technological achievement I've ever witnessed come from an auto manufacture that is reasonably affordable and luxuriously useful and super economical. I could write a book on it's attributes ranging from luxury, comfort and pleasantness as a people mover. Yes, it's true what you might have read, that the Avalon is better than it's Lexus cousin.

I started the Hybrid sedan research 3 months ago. I decided on the Lexus es300h - I put the deposit and ordered the car with the features I wanted. During the 3 week wait for the Lexus I saw the Avalon Hybrid online. During lunch I decided to go take a look, but didn't have time for a test drive. The exterior comparison was about the same for me; almost the same side profile look. The front & back of the car is different, but I liked both the same. The Interior was the difference maker. The Avalon just felt better and the controls made more sense. Plus the fact with the Limited Avalon model compared to the Lexus had more features than the Lexus and was $4500 cheaper!

I LOVE THIS 2013 TOYOTA AVALON HYBRID!! Excellent styling, nice interior with really good color combinations, FABULOUS GAS MILEAGE. My first week of work commuting, in rush hour traffic, it achieved 40.3 MPG. Took in on a week long vacation, traveled 783 miles, up and down mountains (climbing to 9,000 ft) several times and achieved 38.6 MPG for the entire trip!! Only spent $56.00 for gas the entire week! The rear seat is large enough for my 6'5" son to fit in without his knees touching the front seat. The trunk is larger than it appears, it held all our luggage with ease. After 6 mos of driving this car is is still GREAT!! The gas mileage drops a little in the winter time due to running the heater but everything is wonderful. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS CAR! 1 year later - I'm averaging 36-38 MPG traveling to/from work in rush hour traffic (lots of stop and go) or going 79 MPH. The maintenance has been very simply, oil change only every 10,000 miles (synthetic oil), the breaks have not worn down at all, tire rotation every 5,000 miles. Excellent air conditioner for the summer months with only a 1-2 MPG drop. It's been 4 years now and the car is still great! The gas mileage is still 33-38 mpg. My commute has changed to only 5 miles to work so the mpg dropped to 33 mpg, BUT now I only get gas every 6-8 weeks! It now has 112,000 miles and still runs perfectly. I do the regular maintenance as scheduled, mainly an oil change every 10,000 miles. You can not go wrong with a Toyota Avalon Hybrid!!

I don’t drive down the road. I glide. This car is so quiet and smooth. The 17-inch wheels and 111-inch wheel base take bumpy roads in stride. I gave my dad a ride in the Avalon recently and he said it rode as nice as his Mercedes E-Class. Everything is tight and solid. The hybrid system transitions from electric to gas seamlessly. I average around 39 mpg in the warm weather and 34 in the cold. The ventilated front seats are comfortable and keep me from sweating out a business suit in the summer. In the winter the heated seats warm up quickly and keep me nice and toasty. The interior has enough room I can lay the front seat back cushion down and take a nap at a rest area on a long trip. The spacious back seats are also heated with plenty of leg room. The Entune stereo/satellite/navigation system takes some getting used to but works well with one minor annoyance- when I put the car in reverse the backup camera comes on and a black strip appears across the top of the screen blocking my view telling me my iPhone is connected. I appreciate the lock/unlock sensors on the front driver’s and passenger’s side door handles- no more fumbling around with the key fob as long as it’s on your person. The exterior of the car is a beautiful sculpted design that’s not too flashy. The car is best described as understated luxury. The only features I wish it had are a heated steering wheel and fold down rear seats. You’ve got to step up to the 2019 model to get those. Overall, the Avalon is a dependable good-looking full-size automobile with zero to sixty times of eight seconds and decent gas mileage. What more could you ask for?

So....after waiting 14 years to purchase a new car, I finally made the decision to buy my first Toyota ever. I still have my Honda Accord (2000) with 167,000 miles on it. Still running well. I looked at Mercedes, Audi, BMW (albeit not in great length due to price) Lexus, VW, Acura, Honda (again), and yes even the Chevy (Cruze). After careful consideration, I chose the Limited Avalon hybrid. Even after making the decision to go with the Avalon, I gave each one of the above mentioned cars another shot at my garage. lol. However time and time again, the Avalon hybrid kept coming up the winner. I would like to say that one of the above's came close, but in reality, the Hybrid out did them
