2013 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
16 of 36 people found this review helpful
Really got sucked in by the new and beautiful exterior of the 2013 Avalon. Only to find it so very uncomfortable compared to my 2011. Did not sink in until after the purchase that this car is 2" shorter than it's predecessor, with most of that coming off the rear passenger leg room, which is Critical TOYOTA! I often have my office associates with me, and they are big guys! Now they are cramped! Why would you make the flagship car.... SMALLER? If I wanted small, I would buy the Camry. And the front seat is narrower, and less comfortable. Front seat comfort of the Avalon has always been an issue; now it's much worse! (for the distance driver).
Not Bad; not great

Overall our ‘13 Avalon is a compromise in meeting our expectations for comfort, quasi-sportiness, and initial quality. Best features include the space for 6’-4” legs and the visibility afforded to urban driving conditions. Mechanically, the vehicle is Toyota solid. Power-plant and powertrain deliver almost exhilarating and smooth performance. What’s annoying is the mediocre workmanship within the cabin’s interior. This car is highway driven >80% in Southern California’s vastly fair weather. Road noise is distractingly noticeable.. Headliner at the top edge of rear window and sewing/anchoring of driver-front leather seat (lowest front edge) have detached themselves. Adhesives or sewing required. The ride is a tad light - meaning not stout/solid and stable. Strictly applying money spent vesus a quality product in return, it would have been worth spending it elsewhere.

My 2013 Toyota Avalon, Limited Edition, is undoubtedly the finest automobile I've ever owned...which is 37 total. Also, own 2015 Camry XLE Hybrid. My next purchase of a new Avalon will be the Hybrid version! 2/10/18

We've enjoyed the 30k miles we've put so far on our used Limited. It's our third second-hand Avalon and all have been quiet, quick, and comfortable. No unexpected repairs, only scheduled maintenance. We swapped out the 2013 JBL stereo for a higher-end 2019 model with the latest connectivity (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Garmin) so long highway trips are a multimedia joy. Heated & cooled seats, great stereo, low road-noise, nice handling — there's lots to like here. We verified through Toyota records that our car had the notorious problem seatbacks replaced early in its life. If this Avalon performs like our others, we'll get 100,000 trouble-free miles for such low dough, then sell it on Craigslist and get another ... used Avalon.

Good car if you have low expectations

I have been a happy Toyota customer all my adult life (now 55 and had only one non-toyota). I am very frustrated with this car. I suppose if one has low expectations, then this is the car for you..I feel like a sucker for purchasing it.. I feel like I have a 'super Corolla',... not at all the car I wanted to give my wife. We purchased this car for long rides, and I only see this being acceptable for around town. Toyota has taught me a lesson I will not forget. It seems to me that Toyota has left the upscale market, and is leaving that for Lexus' territory. Seriously, I'm not being too harsh. Check it out for yourself.
Very Disappointed!!

A new car and the Headliner is already peeling, the dealership gave no explanation and said they have ordered a new one, seriously is this new Toyota standards. Cabin noise is too much on the highway. Took to my dealer, the supervisor of the service center said cabin noise was normal. For a high end car which is comparable to the Lexus ES350 I think the cabin noise is too much and Toyota must do something about it. Anyone else who has the Avalon please put your reviews on NHTSA.gov and Edmunds. AT 75 mph I hear a lot of wind noise around the car and at one point there was a lot of noise coming from the front windshield and Toyota and the dealership are not willing to fix it.
Stretched Camry

Drive it a day or 2 before you buy it. Not the soft ride of the pre 2013s. Great handling, performance, gas mileage, cabin space reliability. Decorative panels on passenger seats must be replaced as a recall. I like the power and mileage(30-31) of the v6.fits in well in any parking lot. It is a longer car to navigate in parking lots. Great road trip car

Does everything right, virtually nothing wrong. Striking design but also doesn’t look too weird. Comfortable seats, spacious interior, giant trunk. A far more elegant look and feel than a Camry. Worth the upgrade!
