Downsized - I hate that!
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).
Great place to spend time
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.

Proud!!
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

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.
