Used 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Perfect for grownups
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.
An excellent car needs some improvements
I like the stye, driving and riding comfort. The roof trim over the doors pops when using an automatic car wash. The navigation system is difficult to program and operate and is signficantly overpriced for the performance obtained. I will buy another Toyota Avalon Limited, but without the navigation system, unless it is redisigned to make it more user friendly.

Initial Review - Limited
A few squeaks and rattles, and at low speeds/traffic, the 5 speed automatic transmission is quirky and can have a problem figuring out which gear to shift into, but this car is a luxury rocket, with great Lexus-type features.
Excellent Value but Blah
I've owned my Avalon for 9 mos now and really like it. The fuel economy and comfort are great. The car is a breeze to drive, quiet, and smooth (except when the transmission down shifts - abrupt). It lacks youthful style and a few amenities, like an iPod connection, that I would like to have. The keyless entry system is wonderful; however, the remote start is disappointing. The car also needs body side molding for protection. The interior materials are also inferior for a car cost $32k+. I would not buy another Avalon, mostly because they are not fun to drive. I'm in my early 50s and not ready for an old folks car just yet.
