If you want a go cart ride this is the car for you. At 15,000 miles one OEM tire required replacement. I replaced all with best Michlen tires and ride a little better. The amount of air in tire has a lot to do with it but very bad ride on rough roads. You have to stop the car to select anything on the AC control panel. No feel and you touch the wrong thing. The back up screen is barely visible in sunlight. The rs rear view mirror blocks the forward view of the rider. The rider seat does not lift to see over. The mirrors stick out so far they hit the garage door frame (lucky the left side pivots). The steering wheel blocks the messages on the dash. I did not trade my 2001 Avalon which still runs great at 160000 miles. I still have my 2001 Avalon, a much better car even with 160,000 miles. I would not buy another like 2014.

First - I traded in a 2011 Avalon Limited and would give anything to have it back. I assumed I was buying the same same. WRONG Cramped driver's seat. Low profile tires give you a terrible ride. Road noise is bad. GPS is a joke and I was to get it updated will cost you around $300.00. Thinking of going back to a Buick as soon as I can.

No Better Value in the DMV for 2014 Avalon Limited

You will be amazed at how this car looks and runs. You will not find a better used car value in the DMV. Must be seen to be appreciated. Still has 55,000 mile Synthetic Oil change Warranty with one year remaining. 6 year or 75,000 extended Maintenance Services Warranty.

Year 3 and still the best used car ever. Only replaced the tires and the original brakes at 93,000 miles. 2 years later, still no major issues. I am a big fan of Toyota because never had any major issues with them in the past. After my last used car Audi A4 was a flop and money pit decided to go back and chose the Avalon Limited. So far I am loving all the bells and whistle. Got a luxury vehicle without wasting money on maintenance. Should have done more research before I bought the Audi A4 and stuck with Toyota. Inside is very roomy. The heated rear seat makes it fair for all passengers. Enough technology in the car to not feel too outdated in 2022. Navigation system somewhat outdated having to input street, city and building numbers on separate screens. But it works great as it voices turns and shows on Navigation screen and also next to speedometer. You can't lock door with key fob while car is running if you need to run inside, however you can remove the manual key and lock it that way. The rear window shade is the only big issue on this car. It works when it wants to and a $1800 fix. The PCS has proved to be very valuable and kept me from rear ending a car that stopped suddenly in the middle of the road. I've done mostly cosmetic changes to car from neglect of previous owner, but everything is holding up good. Only disadvantage so far is that back seat does not lay down there is a square hole opening if you have long arms to reach for items in trunk. I get alot of compliments on the color Sizzling crimson mica. Car performs very well on trips. Quality tires makes a difference on the ride.

Great reliability; cheap interior

Car has been excellent in terms of maintenance. I have only had scheduled maintenance done. However, Toyota should be ashamed of the cheap foil and leatherette used on the door arm rests, the center console and storage, cup holders and console. The leatherette is peeling in all areas and the foil buckles and was replaced by the dealer in the cup holders. The plastic above the air conditioner vents has broken. At $38k, the interior should be superior. I could have gotten a Camry for less and had equivalent or a better interior. I’ve seen other Avalons with the same issue. The dealership called it normal wear and tear. I’ve owned at least 9 other lower end cars and none had this wear and tear.
