Tire wear is expected to be about 24000 due to the nature of the tires the car is equipped with. It takes some time to learn the various in dash systems. A lot of information is available if you know how to access it. This is our third Avalon (we have owned other cars too) and consider the Avalons to be the best value for the dollar spent. Our Avalon is a road car as well as an around the town vehicle - so interior and trunk space is important. Up date after one year of ownership - We continue to enjoy our Avalon and are very pleased with the car. The car performed very well on a 6000 mile road trip last summer. It has very adequate power and handles quickly and smoothly. We still miss the adjustable rear seat backs of our previous two Avalons. The dash systems are complex and take time to learn and use. The speedometer reads two miles an hour fast when compared with two on board GPS units. Toyota says that this is acceptable - up to a seven mile per hour variable. We live in very hot Tucson Arizona and the AC system on our Avalon performs exceedingly well and cools the care very quickly. We have excellent dealer support. We've been driving our Avalon for two years now and remain very pleased with it as noted previously. One feature of the cruise control feature that I do not like is the capacity of the system to slow the car very quickly when descending a grade and the car exceeds the set cruise speed. A combination of brakes and transmission downshifting is used for that purpose. I cancel the cruise control when descending a steep grade. Our previous Camry and two Avalons all share this characteristic and Toyota is unlikely to make a change as we have experienced it going back to 1997. When I read reviews of the 2016 model prior to our purchase, one reviewer complained that he had to replace the OEM tires at 24,000 miles. Our OEM tires now have over 27,000 miles on them and there is plenty of tread left.

Still loving this car after three years

I absolutely love everything about this car. The handling is excellent with three selectable modes including a sport mode that is perfect for the mountain roads in northern California. Fit and finish are perfect. The JBL stereo is wonderful as are all the amazing electronic features. This model comes with HID headlamps that provide a razor sharp light beam and I am still trying to figure out how the car decides to turn on the automatic high beams. It is comfortable, roomy and fun to drive. I test drove the Chevy Impala and the Chrysler 300 before driving the Avalon. This was no contest. I have owned a couple of dozen new cars in my lifetime. The Avalon Limited is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned or driven. Oh, did I mention that all maintenance is included for two full years ? update: I still like this car as much as I did three years ago. It is fun to drive, comfortable and totally reliable. And I think that it's a great value considering the features and quality purchased vs. price paid. There have been no mechanical or other issues. No warranty work. Totally a great car.

Boy where to begin. With the list of years I've owned - in order of ownership: 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2012 and the 2016. Yes I traded a 2013 for a 2012 and it was the best move I made. The are plenty of places to look up what I thought of the 2013, lets just say, I traded it in with 3,500+- miles on it. So the 2016 was suppose to have some nice suspension changes, and well, it does. Now the Touring Model still has the harsh ride, so it you are looking for comfort, get a LTD. they finally got the ride closer to the Avalons of yesterday year - CLOSER but not great, but good enough that I'm not looking to trade it in. I've got 16,000+ miles on it so far (6 months old). LOVE the Tech stuff, almost hate the front seats. While the seats aren't great, they aren't horrible either, albeit closer to horrible then great, and this I say, because the seats in the Sirreia Van and the Highlander are awesome, so we know they can do comfortable seats. The Nav is nice, just to bad the up-date costs so much, as it will be out of date soon and it's back to my trusty Garmin (with it's FREE Lifetime, up-dates) [contact information removed]

We buy our cars to last. Last two we bought lasted 225,000 miles. So we went into this with the long term in mind. Love everything about it, except the navigation is touchy and wants to reroute you without your permission. We've only had it for a few weeks, so I'm sure there's a fix, but wish that part was more user friendly. But otherwise, this car is plush! Air conditioned seats are fantastic, controls are wonderful, and it looks SOOOO pretty. We love our new Avalon! After 6 months, we STILL love this car. Navigation is still touch, and nearly cried the first time it got a door ding in the grocery store parking lot, but still my Favorite Car EVER <3

The Avalon is a great car. Our only dislike is that on trips in excess of 3 hours the front seats are not very comfortable. Even if we try to adjust them six ways to Sunday. Otherwise we love the interior, the safety features, the looks and color (Creme Brûlée). We simply don’t take this one on longer road trips.
