A great luxury car for the money

We've had our 2011 Avalon Limited for almost 4 years; bought it with 13k miles and it now has 90k miles on it. So far, the car is incredibly reliable. The only thing that malfunction was the power locks quit working and Toyota replaced an electronic component for $600. Otherwise, mechanically it has been excellent - no issues at all and it doesn't use a drop of oil hardly in 10,000 miles. It is comfortable and has plenty of power. The infotainment is now slightly outdated but it does everything you need it to do and the large back-up camera is better than some 2019 cars. Heated/cooled seats are wonderful as are the big, comfy leather seats. Love the HID headlamps, too. I would recommend this car for a big, comfy touring car as a great value and Lexus quality.

Very pleased with the car. It has met or exceeded my expectations. Did a lot of research before buying. This is my 1st full size/luxury car. It's a lot of money but it's a heck of a lot of car! With the problems Toyota's reputation is facing today incredible discounts are out there on even new 2011's. But even their MSRP prices beat the snot out of the competition. Tremendous engine, transmission, ride & comfort. Quick as this car is it gets phenomenal mileage. Once you've driven one, you will want it!

It’s an older design now, but still very comfortable and rides smoothly and quietly. I’m glad we chose this car for getting around town as well as for long trips. We love the heated and cooled leather seats and the memory seat and mirror positions.

Driving 35K a year in an economy car has the body calling out for more comfort. Compared every luxury/full size car available from BMW to KIA. When you total everything up: MPG/Comfort/Fuel Type/Maintenance/ Price/Features/ Reliability and Design the Avalon is a pretty clear choice. New cabin is clean, clear and concise which instills in you a feeling of unpretentious elegance. The cocoa bean metallic paint is possibly the best color available by any manufacture this year. I have only had mine two weeks but fully expect my Avalon to be a trusted part of our family for the next 10 years.
