MY FIRST VERY CONNECTED AVALON

This is my second Avalon the first was a 2012. It was great, but, I wanted the new safety features. I bought the limited version and it is so loaded with features that it will be weeks before i understand them all. My sales person at Performance Toyota was new and of no help with how things work. There is a lot of support from Toyota on the internet (thank god). I originally wanted a hybrid, but, the four cylinder engine is too noisy and the drive train never seemed to stay in one mode or gear for very long. Long story short I love the v-6 engine, it is very powerful. The transmission is new for this model and if it holds up like the prior 6 speed it will be fine. The shifting on the 8 speed is very smooth and quiet. I did the due diligence again this time and the Avalon is still the best bang for the buck.

Toyota's luxury car

I was thoroughly impressed when driving the 2012 Toyota Avalon Limited. The ride is so smooth and Toyota is a brand I stick with due to reputation, reliability and longevity. Both models are beautiful but the Limited model has every option I could ever ask for which makes driving it fun. The Avalon's interior is comfortable and classy. The safety features give me peace of mind knowing I am protected in case of an accident. The exterior may not be as flashy as some models but don't let that fool you. The inside packs a punch and will make driving an enjoyable experience.
