Used 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Mark's
Why buy a Lexus? I couldn't be more pleased! It is the perfect cruiser for a big guy and his passengers. I'm so glad I took the time to do the research to pick this car.
Not perfect, can be annoying
Had it for a year now. No major problems, lots of annoyances. The navigation system is very difficult to operate, with too many unecessary steps. Cannot change the route while car is moving. Radio FM displays no text while driving (for safety reasons, it says), but the satellite radio does show the first 10 letters of the song title and the singer's name. Squeaks and rattles from the dashboard and the sunroof. Drives well, good acceleration, though not as quiet as expected. Comfortable inside, lots of space. Satellite radio antenna's reception not as good as other competitors. Dashboard can create glare on the windshield under certain conditions. Overall happy with the purchase.

Great ride, excellent performance
As everyone stated, it is a great car. It is has a very nice ride, especially for family vacation. Great performance in terms of acceleration, passing, corner handling, and smoothness. Luxury interior design makes it no difference from Lexus LS. You get more luxury for your money.
Holy Moly: Headlights!
I have an 05 Avalon that I bought (traded in my 01 Avy) and I'm less than thrilled. The thing has had some some problems that the dealer can't seem to fix: groans, engine hesitation, rattles. My mileage is much worse than my old Avalon. I like the new power but, come on, I'm 58 years old! I don't race. I wish you could get a smaller more efficient motor. But here's the big bummer. I hit a deer one morning two weeks ago. I have the HID lights. One headlight was broken. The headlight cost close to $1,000!!!! My insurance company picked up half the tab (I have a 500 deductable) but oh my, I don't look forward to replacing these lights in the future when they burn out -- or I hit another deer.
