The vehicle is a poor man's Lexus and is a pleasure to drive. It is well worth the money and I love the heated & vented seats.
Avalon Surpasses Our Expectations

An excellent overall vehicle, went looking for a 4x4 & fell in love with this car!!! It meets or surpasses everything that we look for in our cars, it has the quality of a Lexus at a much easier price. With 280 hp this car can move!! We could not be more pleased with our choice & will now look at a 4Runner as our 4x4 pick.
STS for 1/3 the $$$$$$$

Engine is fantastic, exterior is sleek, interior is good, but seats are not up to the rest of the car. Handling is wonderful, but ride could be a bit more smooth and comfortable. Gas mileage is very respectable with regular gas.
Better than the Lexus

I went to buy a Lexus GS300, but the Lexus had less power, less head room and cost $15,000 more. My Avalon has been perfect. I especially like the ventilated seats. Also, the keyless ignition and locks make it very easy to get in the trunk when I have packages. You would think all the gadgets would be confusing, but they have a web site www.mytoyota.com that teaches you how to use them. Cons? The Navigation system is GREAT technology, but the manual was NOT originally written in English. I dare the President of Toyota USA to try to read it. Also, the main button on the Navigation is too easy to hit crooked, selecting the wrong thing. Should be redesigned. Small complaints. Great car.

Had a very hard time finding the XL as we needed the cloth seats. We drove the car the next week on a 300mile trip. The mileage was about 28mph over all. The seats and the ride were just average. We were told the xm radio was pre-wired and it was not. We are not sure if we are excited about this car, time will tell! Had 2001 Avalon that was troule-free for 100,000 mph!
