2013 Toyota Avalon Touring
Nice car for the money. Bought at CarMax in Laural, MD. They gave me $3000 off MSRP. Worth every penny~ Drove it back home to PA and avg 28 mpg on the trip. Avg'ing 24 in mixed driving. Very sporty to drive, roomy, gorgeous interior, seats were a little hard but everything else was spot on. Love this car! I researched cars in the $33000 - $35,000 price range with NO cvt trannsmission and this was easily the best car in the price range. I test drove them all. The Honda Accord Touring was my 2nd fav.
Excellent Ride
This car made me double take. I saw the new design and finally toyota is targeting a younger demographic. I have the Moulin Rouge with the black leather interior. The handling is great, good acceleration to get around traffic on the interstate. The seats are very comfortable. Entune is nice, the navigation is easier to manage than my 08 Sequoia Limited. I don't have the phone charging plate which is a head scratcher. The side mirrors should be power folding.But other than that I would highly recommend the new Avalon for anyone shopping for a large sedan. i commute 160 miles round trip to work and i love driving now.
2013 Avalon Ltd Hybrid
Had planned to purchase a Lexus 300H but found local Lexus dealers not buyer friendly. Decided to look at the Avalon as an alternative and made a purchase which I now regret. The hybrid platform performs wonderfully; power is adequate and economy is better than expected. So far with 5000 miles average MPG is 40.1 with 70pc highway at speeds 70+ MPH. My main issue with the vehicle is interior build quality/fit/finish. I have owned many cars over the years and not since the early 70's have I had a car with so many interior rattles. It is unpleasant to drive the vehicle on anything but newly paved roads. Ride quality is firm, but not unpleasant and seats are adequate for long drives.

Quick, quiet and comfortable — just as expected
I drive about 25,000 miles a year, frequently with a car full of clients. The 10k miles I've put on my used 2013 Avalon Limited (purchased with 59,000 on the clock) have been a pleasure. This is my second Avalon so I knew what to expect. Smooth ride, lots of room, and comfortable seats. With the right tires (I mounted Yokahoma Grand Touring YK740's) cruising is quiet and snow/rain handling is great for year-round Colorado driving. I gave my 2013 car a 2019 infotainment system so now I have AppleCarPlay and Android Auto just like the new Avalons. Why not 5 stars? The handling's a little front heavy and rocks to and fro a bit (as I had read in several reviews) and not as evenly planted like GM's big cars (the Impalas and LaCrosse's I rent frequently). Also, the interior will occasionally offer some odd squeaks that are hard to pin down (and potentially fix). But I had read about these 2 issues before I bought the car so neither are a surprise and neither are a deal-breaker for me. Just keeps it from 5 stars.
