I have owned several cars and trucks in my time. From BMW's to GMC's. My last vehicle was a Jaguar S Type. That was luxury and speed. I had an '05 that I bought off lease. It was great, but time caught up with it. Enter my Avalon. I (again) bought a lease return (2015 Model) with low mileage. This car handles well, has speed, and solid braking. When I have to (on occasion) I have blown BMW's and Lexis drivers off the line. This ride has a 3.5 L V-6, and 268 HP....it's Fast! The ride is on the firm side, although you have options for eco and sport as well. The chassis is the same as the lower end Lexis models. It has all the bells and whistles (heated seats, various dash screens for computer mileage, eco boost, etc, bluetooth, and sat radio). Climate system works nicely. Inside the cabin, there is a bit of a "plastic feel", and the silver foil that wraps the cup holders is starting to peel. Those are the only complaints!! I had this car for one year...and ZERO Problems! Just change the oil and rotate the tires so far. Mileage is 21 in and around town, and (I know this may be had to believe!) I got 31 MPG on a recent 200 mile R/T!! This is a SOLID, well produced car that has styling as well as reliability, and the all important SPEED! As an owner, I can highly recommend this vehicle!!

This car performance is good, but the quality of interior materials are poor. The radio resets itself during a ride, no giving reason. With door open water drips in car instead of outside the door. Not much head room. THE WIND NOISE IS HORRIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 65 FOR INSTANCE ON THE INTERSTATE. I purchased this car from past great Avalon experience. However, it seems that once they started making different trims for the Avalon, the quality went down. Not a happy customer.

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

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.

Bought the car new in March of 2016. I have bought 5 new and 4 used Toyotas in my life. This one has small problems Toyota won’t cover. There are 17 small tears in inch wide piece of defective leather Toyota wont replace under Warranty. I have spent well over$150,000 on Toyotas in my life and am afraid this will be the last. I have never had a problem with another manufacturer in my life. They should be embarrassed and ashamed. Said tears in leather is normal wear and tear on a $35,000.00 list car with 16,000 miles on it. Good car but garbage company. Traded car in couldnt stand looking at ripped seat anymore. TSK TSK Toyota.
