I don't know why any one would buy a Lexus and pay the extra money. The car is beautiful to look at and a dream to drive.

This car is more than I expected, my first Avalon was 1995 and this is my 5th and by far the best of them all. I have not owned a Lexus but this car is much larger and more power than the ES 300. I am still finding new and wonderful features and I would say they must have talked to the consumer in planning this one. I am more than satisfied with my new Avalon Limited.

2005 Avalon simply a great car!

We drove our Avalon on a 2000 mile trip a week after delivery. It is a great car, everything we wanted in a quiet spacious package. Acceleration is surprising, especially merging back into interstate traffic after a rest stop. Seats are very comfortable...rated best ever by my wife! We got about 30 mpg overall! We felt so rested we drove "straight through" coming home, 850 miles in 14 hours.

Our previous Avalons were 1997 XLS and 2000 XLS. Each newer model has been a little better handling and quieter, our 2005 Limited has much better performance and handling than previous, and the highway mileage is over 33 mpg. 2005 Limited has super features, auto dimming mirrors with turn indicators, ventilated front seats (nice in 100 degree AZ summers), great stereo, nav system, laser cruise, tilt/telescoping steering column, heat/air system performs great, auto leveling headlights, and is a very comfortable road and town car. It looks great too.

Great Luxury at Affordable Pricing

The 2005 Totyota Avalon is a great car at a great price. Fully loaded XLS only cost me $32k. It has navigation, vehichle skid control and very nice leather. The car is elegantly styled inside with a nice mixture of faux wood, metal and leather. The sound system is great, not very loud but the clarity and sound is wonderful. On the XLS model I would prefer more plush filled seats like in my SUV but the ones in there are good. The car has tons of room, in fact I don't mind riding in the rear seat because of the comfort and room. The power is excellent, you no longer fill intimidated to pass another vehicle because of the 280hp. Luxury that is affordable. Great Car!!
