Used 2005 Toyota Avalon Consumer Reviews
Want a 300? Get an Avalon instead.
The Avalon is new and better than ever, with almost Lexus-like Styling, Lexus-like luxury, and Lexus- like Power, no wonder it is great
Love the 2005
This is my 4th Avalon and it is clearly the best. Handling is much smoother and you get more features for the money. The new engine provides quicker acceleration to negotiate in heavy traffic. Best year by far!

Worthwhile Avalon notes
The 05 Avalon is a fantastic automobile. It is powerful, comfortable and a joy to drive. We just came back from a 1500 mile trip, loaded down with a trunk full and two full sized adults in front. Speeds were in the range of 75 to 80 and our mpg was 27 on average. I could easily make the rated 31 with a lighter weight and speed below 70. The only problem was the door to the CD player/am/fm stuck closed the entire 8 days. It worked fine for a day after we returned then failed to open again.One thing to be careful of is the very low curb clearance below the front bumper. There should be a replaceable rub strip along the bottom. I left a lot of "Blizzard Pearl" paint on an Applebee's high curb.
I Am Loving It!!!
I love my new Avalon! I had previously owned a 1996...and they have only improved the style, comfort & price. I love the ride and the way it handles... a lot of car for the price!!! Go tes tdrive one...I bet you will be sold on it just as I was!!! I especially like the sporty all leather look of my Touring model.
This is what I dreamed about!!!
I test drove one of these (Limited & Fully-loaded). It's hot. Way better than the plain models before it. It's got speed, it's smooth, and you could practically live in this spacious, and wonderful car. This one came with an awesome sound system and dual dvd head- rest. I passed a maxima (that tried to race me) in flying colors. Toyota really did it this time. I would buy this before the 2005 Lexus GS I feel in love with, plus the 2006 GS is messed up for as exterior styling.
