A very fine car for the $$$, matches up well with others (Lexus, Lincoln and Cadillac) that cost thousands more.

A pleasure to drive. Handles very well with plenty of power. Get the GPS navigation system. It's a must!

The Tradition Continues

This is my 3rd Avalon (1997, 2000, 2005). With each redesign, they've improved significantly (with the exception maybe of the 2000-2004 looks ;) ). Why on earth should I spend $8,000 or $10,000 more on a Lexus ES or an Infiniti M when here I have a smoother ride, a more reliable vehicle (look at Consumer Reports) right here for a much lower price? A sports car it ain't - of course it doesn't pretend to be either. There's enough of the feel of the road for me, and of course, the comforts and the reliability of Toyota.

A splendid new car

My wife and I are very pleased with this new Avalon. The ride is comfortable and very quiet. On a recent 1800 mile trip, we averaged 31.8 MPG on regular fuel. [We are averaging 24.7 in city driving]. The sound system complements the quietness of the ride and we had the cruise set at 73-76 MPH. Acceleration is quick and smooth and the braking system is very effective. We traded in a Chrysler 300M [which we liked very much] and found the Avalon a great improvement over the ride and road noise of the 300M. The Avalon is an excellent road car.

This is my fourth toyota and my second Avalon (last one was a '98). This car rules! It's gorgeous, rides so smooth and has tons of room. It also has lots of interior storage for stuff like cell phones, etc. Love love love this car!!!
