Impressive Car

We have only had our Avalon a short time. At present we truly love the comfort and overall performance of the vehicle. We believe we made a great choice. It will likely take a while to get used to how to work the Entune using voice commands but we are working at it.

Touring IS Stiff, but others are NOT

Just don't do what I did, and base your decision on the Touring model. It is designed by Toyota to be much stiffer suspension then the Limited and others. I drove both and the Touring model was like my 2013, Very nice, but way to stiff and uncomfortable for my and my wife, but the Limited, now that's a horse of a different color. Much more like the Avalons of old, not as smooth / comfortable, but very close, and the tech stuff is real nice, to bad at this time you have to get a Limited to get all the goodies.

Nice Ride

I got out of a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and I know what a truck like vehicle rides like. The 2016 Avalon I have rides quite smoothly and is very quiet. Acceleration is surprising for the engine size and amount of horsepower and the interior is pleasant on the eyes. The main display screen is good looking and displays actual album art in good quality. The seat is comfortable and very adjustable. Brakes are very capable and give good feedback as does the steering, the front wheel drive aspect takes some getting used to but it's not bad. The back seat is roomy and personable with A/C controls for passenger comfort. Overall I'm completely satisfied with the car. I wanted a Lexus but didn't want to travel three hours, round trip, to the dealership.

Overall, I think Toyota did a nice revamp of the Avalon. My issue with the Nav system is I feel it isn't as user friendly as some of the dash mount products. Could be I just need more time to get familiar with the location of settings. Really like my new car.

Long Time Toyota Owner first Avalon

First Avalon and I am really surprised how well this car is made, designed and performs. Went from V6 Camry to this and this is what the Camry should be. Fit, finish, comfort, performance are all excellent or better. Car looks great (though the grill could be smaller). If your looking for a entry level luxury sedan midsize or larger, this is a perfect fit. Plus Toyota reliability is what keeps me coming back.
