Decent car for the money

I bought this car for the expected reliability and comfort for the long commute to work. Surprisingly, this car is not as comfy as a 95 Camry my sister-in-law has. Perhaps it's the 17 inch tires and the firmer seats than expected. Road noise is well subdued and the power is good, but any faster than 100, and it's floats and bobs more than the Civic and Accord I used to have. The worse thing about the car is the navi which is hard to use with the button. Trying to navigate the keyboard with it and you end up "entering" half of the time. The touch screen in my wife's TL is so much more user friendly. Otherwise it is a great deal.

It's the best motor vehicle I have ever owned. Absolutely not a shade of a problem - thus far. It's still much too early to say whether the car will meet its EPA 32 mpg estimate. My guess is it won't. But I did study Edmunds a great deal before selecting the Avalon and I think I made a good choice.

This car is a joy to own and drive. It is well-appointed both inside and out. My passengers rave about the roomy, comfortable back seat. The only complaint I have about it is that I have a difficult time entering destinations into the navigation system. The buttons are overly sensitive and respond to inputs that I feel that I am not making.

What's up with the noise?

This car rattled when I bought it. Five attempts to fix the headliner rattle and it still rattles. This makes me suspicious of Toyota quality in the Avalon. The car has developed other squeaks and noises too. This is my first new Toyota and I expected more. On the positive side, I love the comfort and performance. I will try another one if Toyota will take this one back.

Car is really well designed. Plenty of room and very comfortable. If you want a sports car you can do better but if comfort-luxury-economy-and reasonable performance do it for you - this is your car. I had a 2003 Q45 and this is just flat our better for my driving needs than that. Not without shortcomings but a great value and a dream to drive 30 min to work daily. No bluetooth and it hunts for gears on hills, otherwise no negatives. Oh yea, the nav isn't touch screen and the laser cruise is a silly worthless toy. Otherwise it's a solid winner.
