Love my Avalon Limited 2019

I’m very happy with this car. I also test drive BMW 3 series and Audi A3 & A4 because they are also highly rated by consumer reports. I preferred the Avalon. For the price especially it felt much more luxurious.

A lot of car for the money

I traded in a 2008 Avalon Limited for the 2019 version. My major reason for doing so was that I liked the 2008 car so much and it treated me so well that I thought that I would get another one. It is my opinion however, that the 2019 version, while very nice, is not quite as plush for 2019 as the 2008 model was for 2008. feature 2008 2019 Automatic Windshield Wipers Y N I never used to have to touch the wipers dial. If it rained they automatically came on Rear Window Popup Sun Screen Y N Turn signal light on outside mirrors Y N Trunk Open Button on trunk (outside) Y N Tire Lugnut locks Y N (optional in 2019) Sunglasses Storage Box overhead Y N Mudguards Y N (optional in 2019) However Blind spot indicator on outside mirror N Y Rear View camera N Y Rear Sear Warmers N Y Heated Steering Wheel N Y The storage compartment in the center armrest in 2008 as larger and easier to access and had coin storage slots which I miss. I purchased the birdseye view camera safety system. This system is very nice but underutilized. The vehicle had all these nice camera angles. But as I get older I more appreciate the ability to see vehicles in my blind spot. While it has indicators, it would be nice if the camera came on to the left or right when one turned on the turn signal. I have seen other vehicles do this. I also believe that the car should come with a remote car starter as standard equipment. I believe that a vehicle called a "Limited" should have all features as standard. All of this said, I am really enjoying the car, it's smooth ride and the modern technology features that come with it. My 2008 car, while expensive to repair when repairs were needed, was very good at holding up. I owned the car for 12 years and never had to purchase a muffler for it. I expect the same great workmanship in my 2019 model

Great Car But One Big Disappointment

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

I love everything about the Avalon 2019 XLE and have been a loyal Toyota customer for decades BUT the ENTUNE System is nothing but an irritant nothing in it seems to work well or right. Loading was very slow, getting it to stop coming up and offer me an update more irritant. The Navigation System is tied to your smart phone and so far has not worked well. It does allow you to use Car Play if you have an Apple iPhone. You have to plug your phone in to use car play and the plug is not near the Qi compliant charger. It seems Entune is loaded with features that Toyota wants you to pay monthly for. Such a high tech car should have a real entertainment system which simply works. Lack of a navigation system is a frustration as well as being tied to iPhones and not able to use Android phones. Changing a tire is a challenge. Hard to fine where the jack sits, which is a problem when on the side of a highway with traffic.

Curious

Car rides well and is very comfortable, however I am curious if anyone else has experienced a rather irritating noise which seems to come when driving at about 40mph and higher. I can only compare it to a rather loud road noise which does not go away till speed is reduced to below 40. Of course it might be obvious when traveling with the Radio on, but it certainly is there, and I have not been able to get an answer from Toyota about a cause or potential repair. I might compare the noise to that which I remember coming from snow tires. I know the car is quite new and there not too many out there, but I would love to hear from anyone experiencing the noise issue.

2019 Toyota Avalon Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful

Great road car --on a highway or by-way. It took awhile to get used to its length in tight parking lot/garage situations but now only its amazing features stand out. Comfortable but in control driving experience with enough instant performance (in the Touring version) to make it an outstanding choice at any price ... but the price sealed the deal. Bought the extended warranty because of quirky electronics in any vehicle these days but so far nothing but "open road" and happy days. --After 1 1/2 years, the vehicle still feels a bit too large in parking situations since the auto braking feature engages the brakes with a bit more than a foot left before contact with another parked vehicle. On the plus side based on longer experience, the front seats are easy to get into despite not being an SUV; I especially like the automatic return of the driver's seat to a far-back position whenever leaving the vehicle (and, therefore, there at that position upon entering -- very easy to enter and exit). As with most vehicles these days, the transmission shifts at points design to make the manufacturer's mpg numbers rather than for "spirited performance" --the self-shifting mode, however, provides enough occasional "fun" for me in that regard. Have had no problems with the electronics so far.
