Smooth sailing or Sporty, Your choice

This is a fantastic car. It rides as smooth as butter. And if you need an extra punch, put it in sport mode for some fun. This car is comfortable, classy, refined, great on gas, and fun on road trips. Tall adults fit in the rear without any issues. The trunk is large for a hybrid, but there is no pass through on this model year of 2016. The only thing you have to be careful of is the low profile. If you aren't careful, you can easily ding the undercarriage in the front against a high curb.

A comfortable Sedan. Very quiet on the road. Plenty of power, but not a racer. After a recent 4000+ mile trip getting more than 41 mpg overall. Adjustment to the driver's seat can be a bit tricky, at times. Not had it long enough to comment on repairs and other value. I have had great service experience the 2 times I have had it back to a dealership, one which was during our long trip.

Ive only owned this a month so repair/reliability data not available. Cars don't impress me...they get you where you're going or they don't. My family is amused... this car has changed me..I totally love this car. It is comfortable.....has some fun bells and whistles..easy too drive.....economical!!!!!! Lots of tech stuff that has been easy to figure out....at least the parts I'm using. Love the interior...beautiful...well put together design. I have never owned a hybrid and I can honestly say I'm sold on hybrids..at least this one. Excellent warranty.

Avalon means "Isle of Paradise"

Since buying this hybrid auto, we have fallen in love with it! Is it perfect? No. Nor, we think, is the more expensive Mercedes. The key for us here is we own a super high quality, fuel efficient, reliable & comfortable car that was reasonably priced, compared to it's competitors at Lexus, BMW & others.

Wonderful automobile: comfortable and economical

The car is everything the professional reviewers said it would be. Stable, well mannered, sure footed, comfortable and economical. We really appreciate all the active safety features. There are some things in the interior that, personally, I would change, but we knew that going in and bought the car anyway so they weren't deal breakers for us. Yes, you give up a couple square foot in the truck, but that hasn't proven to be a problem. I wish there was a fold down rear seat, but as before, I chose the car knowing that. Our goals for an new auto were 1) comfort, 2) reliability, 3) safety, 4) eco friendliness. The Avalon delivers on all these fronts. Though we haven't owned it long enough to personally asses reliability Toyota has more experience that any other brand in making successful hybrid drive autos. It drives like any other car; it has plenty of acceleration if we need it, and cruises down the road with ease. This is the first time in over 20 years we haven't had a manual transmission automobile, and we don't miss it.
