This is one of serval Toyotas I have owned and by far the best. All the toyotas where great for reliable and fuel economy. So far this one get 33 on small trips. I love, the quietness and the heads up display. No more trying to see if l am going the right speed. So advanced in safety that it will make your head spin. Got a heart deal on this fabulous car. Thanks Toyota !

Wind Noise is definately annoying

This a warning if you are considering purchasing this vehicle. While this is a quality-built vehicle, in my opinion it has an annoying engineering flaw. The flaw is a significant, sporadic wind and road noise on the driver’s side and when driving over 50 miles per hour it gets louder as your speed increases. Outside conditions such as wind speed and cross currents also effect the level of the noise. Brought it to the dealership and the service manager drove it. His comment was he heard the noises but said it was characteristic of the car and that nothing could be done. REALLY!

2019 Avalon XLE Almost perfect except...

2019 Toyota Avalon XLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

This is my 3rd Avalon throughout the years. Loved every one of them. Traded-in a 2016 Prius V when they brought out the new Avalon design. Doesn't look like an old persons car anymore. For me the lower body style is a bit challenging as I'm 6'4". Just have to squat down a bit to clear my head. Once inside, there is plenty of headroom and legroom even for me. I'm a "ride" fanatic. It doesn't disappoint. Soaks up and smooths out most road types. My XLE has 17" wheels which really contribute to a more comfortable ride. Plenty of power now with 301 horsepower. Smooth upshifts with the 8 speed tranny. However, in stop and go freeway speeds from 3mph to 10mph and back down again to 3mph the tranny can't seem to make up it's mind where to be and can be a bit "jerky". That's my biggest complaint. Oh there is a bit more wind noise at around 65-80mph than I expected but not too distracting. Tire noise very subdued at those speeds. The cabin is very quite Conversation easy. Seats are "Soft-Tex" material. Not leather but very comfy and even though they are black, they don't seem to hold the heat on a hot day. Thankfully! Back seats have lots of leg room and are heated too. Front seats and steering wheel heated. Strong A/C with rear outlets in addition to the front ones. It's bigger than a mid-size car but it's so easy to drive. Handles great for my type of driving, surface streets and freeways. Non-aggressive thank you. Safety features on the side, rear and front are amazing and welcome. The trunk lid pops up by itself which is nice. I'm getting 26.1 mpg street & freeway combined right now. Had the car about 3 weeks it might get a little better. It's now Sept. 2022. Put about 36,000 miles on the Avalon. Not driving the Freeways any more to work so surface streets have affected mileage. Now just over 24 mpg. Still have original tires. Plenty of tread left. Ride still good but over big bumps almost feels like bottoming out. I don't think that's what's happening but it sounds loud with a harsh feel. Had one service that ran me about $600. Something about some filter I think. Otherwise nothing has gone wrong. 2022 is the last year for the Avalon. Guess the sales numbers didn't make it worthwhile for Toyota to continue with the model. Too bad. Always was one of the better cars at a fair price for what you got.

NOISY

Same complaint as Cynthia’s on 1/26/2019. They’ve had my car for 5 days and I need it back for travel. I have to go for another ride with the service personnel so yet another person can hear the “eggs rattling in a plastic case noise” in the rear driver’s side door down low. I am not happy with this noise issue since a quiet car was one of my top priorities in buying this vehicle. I really hope they can fix it. Thanks Cynthia for backing up my complaint.

It is a little hard to understand why Toyota offers an upscale Avalon while it offers such diversity, not always luxury, in its premium Lexus brand. Cars in general have inflated base prices, MSRP, invoice, dealer, whatever, The Avalon costs a bit less than its sister vehicle in the Lexus ES class, and astute reviews catch a couple trim pieces that may cost slightly less to make. However, choosing is a matter of buying the currently most advanced model, right now that is the 2019 Avalon. I find it considerably better than advertised. Reviews are obviously not written by skilled drivers. Comments about the automated and assisted driving features do not begin to describe the capability. My practice (and suggestion here) is for the interested buyer to read user comments, then read the online manual, then test drive the car in conditions you will use it. Example: we live over an hour off an interstate. Going home means we enjoy a charming, curvy, mountainous state route. Sometimes there is no traffic, other times it is follow the leader, passing opportunities are limited. So set your adaptive radar to 130 feet and engage assisted lane keeping. Set maximum speed to ten per cent above the speed limit and proceed. If there is heavy traffic you may never use a foot peddle and only a gentle guidance on the steering wheel. If you have an Apple Watch, it will tickle your wrist should you approach the edge of your lane, then go ding ding just as you hit the little pavement bumps, we still think are designed to wake up drunks on late night stupid drives home from a party. Our first trip home in the new Avalon was after my wife had another oral surgery. She commented that the Avalon was a much smoother driver than I am. I felt at once irritated, slighted, unappreciated, and then smart for having bought the classy car. Such details are not available in most reviews and unknown to most dealerships and salespeople, whose "Around Town" driving experiences make little use of the latest technology, let alone suspension, acceleration, cornering ... The Avalon has a hair more tire noise than I like. It still gets dirty quickly, but its low stance makes it easy to wash, unlike our very nice Highlander Limited which begs us to use a ladder or just leave it dirty. Sure, the Avalon should have a powered trunk lid. Sure, the Avalon should have separate voice activation for its own infotainment and Siri. Even when I am very careful, sometimes Siri misses, and instead of getting CarPlay, I get Entune, which you really won't want very often. Entune uses a female voice, so I have Apple set to use a male voice, that way I know instantly who is talking to me. There is no convenient kill button when I accidentally, er, unintentionally activate, say a navigation, in Entune. This is messy and the only safe thing to do is to park and reset everything. But, of course, none of us parks, we think we are clever enough to turn off the durn machine without delaying our trip. Sirius is still the dumbest possible interface, and it still uses a weak antenna, so if you live in a mountainous or wooded area, you will enjoy predictable silence and miss the punch line now and then. Plan some ferry trips and use the wait and travel time to set up your systems. Or, be prepared to drain your battery. Getting the vehicle just right takes hours. I went back to our dealer who provides an expert trainer for customers who purchase new. I had a list of 12 problems in2016 Entunes on the Highlander and after an hour we agreed Entunes could not do ten of the simple tasks. So, if you have Carplay, the 2019 Avalon makes sense. Actually, if you don't have an iPhone, switch, even buy a cheap used iPhone and dedicate it to the Avalon. And then, be prepared, switching on a smart car is like herding sheep, it all works in due time, but don't expect to jump in the car, depart and have everything working right away. Be prepared for an amazing experience. It is way better than advertised. Toyota finally has a car that is worth waiting for every time you turn it on, every time the driver seat envelopes you into your custom seat, mirror, wheel position, every time you read that No iPhone is available, and then see that screen switch to Apple Car Play, tap it, press the voice input button on the steering wheel, talk to Siri, say Hey Siri, don't forget, every time.
