Comfort, economy, safety What more can you ask. This is not a sport car, if performance and speed is what you are looking for, this is not your car. If you want a car that is comfortable for a trip both front and back seats that provides the latest in safety for the family, this is the car for you

Better Than Expected!

This is out third hybrid from Toyota as first we had a Highlander Hybrid, a Prius, and now the Avalon Hybrid. I have been driving it for about three months and I am rather pleased to say the least! When we bought the Highlander, the mileage was rated higher than it should have been until the EPA lowered it shortly after our purchase as 27/24 was more realistic and obtainable. The Prius was tough to get to 50 mpg as we live in a hilly area in Michigan and between that and the weather the smaller power plant fought for mpg. The best was 54 mpg in Ohio and the worst was 42 in deep snow as the average was probably year around about 46.5. I stated all this as my expectations for the Avalon Hybrid needed to be realistic to be happy with the purchase. I am 6 tank fulls in and averaging approximately 38.5 mpg. Considering I do not baby it much driving and the hilly area, I am quite pleased. The ride is comfortable and quite as you are up to speed and don't know it half the time. As another reviewer stated, I know I will own this one for a long while as I drive almost 50 miles each way to work and visit a lot of family out of state. Oh, and yes as the other reviewer stated, get the limited model!

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.

My new Avalon

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.
