This is my 3rd Toyota, I have had a 2005 Toyota Solara, a 2012 Toyota Camry and now a 2015 Toyota Avalon XLE Touring! I completely love this car! I am in my 30's and this car is awesome! Definitely not a old persons car anymore. It is just beautiful, and rides nicely. I really do not have any complaints, but the fuel cost are so low for a V6 and you can use regular gasoline. I feel like I am driving a Lexus.

Horrible Ride

Sixed straight Toyota and fourth straight Avalon. Will probably look for a better ride next time. Had this car for two years and can't wait to try something else with a more comfortable ride. My bottom can't take the rough ride. Sat in a friend's Cadillac the other day and what a joy!

Lower Your Expectations

We purchased a 2015 Avalon in July. It was a nice vehicle but the more I drove it, the more I realized it did not meet my expectations. Due to it's reputation, I expected the "flotation" ride of a luxury car. I also had issues with wind noise and bumping my head getting in and out. (Not a vehicle for people who have any difficulty getting in and out of a car). To say I was extremely disappointed is an understatement. The dealership could do nothing about the wind noise....... we even tested one straight off the lot when I came to pick mine up from Service. It did the same thing. My aunt had purchased a 2015 Av Hybrid around the same time. When I spoke with her, she said that she had not realized now noisy her 2015 Avalon was until they went on a trip in a friend's Ford F150. Now that's sad that a pickup was quieter than a luxury car!!! I traded in a 2013 Kia Soul that I just loved other than the ride. It had zero wind noise!!!!!! Complained to Toyota's Houston division but since it is not a safety hazard, they deemed nothing was wrong with the car or it's design and offered no alternatives in terms of helping me purchase a different vehicle. My only recourse was to go back to the dealership and trade it in. I now own a 2016 4Runner and LOVE it. Yes, it is not sound proof, but it rides better and is more comfortable than my LAST purchase of a "luxury" vehicle. I use the term "luxury" loosely and sarcastically. BCS

Be aware of the technology and take all the time (spend time in the driveway with the owner's manual) necessary to acquaint yourself if you've not had a vehicle with all the new features.

Disappointed

Expected more from the flagship Toyota. We have owned many Toyotas in the past and have many friends and family who own Toyotas, including much older Avalons. This Avalon is just not built the way older ones are. Exterior and interior looks nice until you live with the car for a while. Many rattles and squeaks in the interior. Lots of hard plastics (though they look nice, they are not nice to touch on a daily basis nor do they feel luxurious). Very uncomfortable seats, no matter how you adjust them - my poor wife would get sciatica on long drives. Poor quality leather. Base sound system is quite poor - sounds very tinny. Significant delay on touch screen. Noisy AC fan at higher fan speed. Significant road noise at low and high speed. We have needed to return to the dealer to fix a rattling fuel line as well as a malfunctioning USB port - dealer had difficulty fixing these things though they did address them. Very small cup holders that aren't very functional. Very rough/jarring ride - supposedly a sportier ride - but the handling is still quite vague. On the plus side - it has a responsive, powerful engine nicely matched to a transmission with seamless shifts. But those are about the only things that would make the Avalon a little nicer than a Corolla, but I would argue that doesn't even justify paying a significantly higher price than a Corolla. We have since sold the car - very disappointed.
