Used 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
A KILLER CAR
Just picked up my new Limited 4 days ago. This is my third Avalon. I tooled around with getting the ES 330 and the IS 350, but this car really has got the room and ride without spending the money on a LS430 to get it. Gorgeous interior design and fit and finish. My friends who are seeing it are flipping out!!!!A lot of value for the money.
Excellent value
Although it's too new to us to enable a reliability review, I'm expecting a "9". It came with a malfunctioning laser cruise which was repaired no charge. Excellent, comfortable highway cruiser, efficient, roomy, powerful, and luxurious. The nav is much better than in our BMW. Radio is excellent if not audiophile quality. Body design is much improved over the prior model. Moonroof open is quiet and doesn't overventilate. Oversteers (as do FWD cars) and particularly so in the wet. It's a cruiser, not a sports sedan. It could use a backup camera. Seats are comfortable but could use better bolstering. Flat rear floor is excellent. Some more trunk space and some less rear legroom.
follow up on 2006 Avalon purchase
This is an after 2000 mile review to help you decide. I have found the mileage to max out about 27-28 but still not bad. I have the loaded 2006 Avalon in blizzard white. It does NEED the body side moldings or you find yourself parking away from things to protect it. Get the Nav system and the laser cruise control as they are very good. GREAT VALUE, FUN TO DRIVE...AND YES...I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN OVER ANYTHING ELSE!!! Just do it ...before it is too late...because we dont know how many days we are going to wake up!! :)
Best Car Ever Owned
Have owned buicks, oldsmobiles, cadillacs. Avalon is by far the best for quality, comfort, quietness, and ease to drive.
Best bang for your buck
I traded in a 03 Mercedes Benz for this car. This car has more room, more options, better gas mileage and it cost less that the Mercedes. You simply get more car for the money.
