Used 2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Consumer Reviews
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.

Great daily driver and long distance traveling
I am extremely happy with owning this car. For a full-size upscale model, the fuel economy has been fantastic. I average between 38 to 40 miles per gallon. It is very comfortable riding and as roomy and comfortable as my mom’s Lexus LS450. It is super reliable and I have only needed periodic maintenance. I plan on keeping this car for many more years. Update: this car continues to be a pleasure to drive and own. No problems whatsoever. I'm approaching 55000 miles and the car is going strong. Still like new.

Wanted to Love it!
Seats are too firm in the Limited trim level. Head restraints are too intrusive. Back seat is not for the claustrophobic. Poor visibility, especially for rear passengers. "Almond" Interior color scheme is an incongruous hodge-podge of black, yellowish leather, and tan mixed and matched materials which tends to detract from the calming, well-thought out space one expects in a upper level, semi-luxury vehicle. Handling and cabin comfort are the strong suits of this model, as is the stellar fuel economy. Safety and technology features abound and work well. This car scores well on so many fronts, but in the final analysis the poor visibility and seat comfort, along with intrusive head restraints all combine to kill the deal for this long-distance traveller.

Horrible front seat cushions. (*Hybrid model)
Toyota needs to do something about the comfort of the front seats!!!!!!! After a 1/2 an hour or more on the road your bottom is in pain. Driver and passenger have insufficient cushioning and/or poor design. *
