Mechanically sound, painful to drive

The seats are OK for about 15 minutes. However, my 1-hour commute feels terrible. The seat is too narrow, so half your legs are pinched by the bolsters, and it dips too severely, pressing against your coccyx and sciatic nerve. The 2-way lumbar is far too low to be useful, and the seat and backrest are just unforgivingly hard. I am a fairly average size man (5'11''/175 lbs), so I shouldn't be spilling over the edges like this. They feel like coach-level airline seats. I have also had to bring it in for a few quality control issues. Chrome bits have fallen off, and weather stripping has failed, creating loud whistling noises in the cabin. I love everything mechanically about the car: the engine, transmission, steering, and breaking are all great. However, at the end of the day, no car -- especially one that costs $37k -- should cause the driver pain. I thought I was going to be a Toyota driver for life, but this will probably be my last.

Love the car. Hate the infotainment

We are a Toyota family. I currently drive a 2014 Tundra that I traded up from a Tacoma. My wife drove a 2006 Avalon until I talked her into trading to a 2019 model. While she loves the car, she (and I) despise the media package. She assumed her navagation/audio package would be the same as mine in the Tundra, which is to say easy to operate. Not so! Our first indication was the fact that it is necessary to download apps onto your phone to operate the system properly . She downloaded the Entune App only to find that she downloaded the wrong version. Delete that app and download another version. She then found she had to download ANOTHER app to operate the maps feature! Whenever she is using AppleCar Play it is necessary to physically connect the phone to the car using a cable. Once connected and she wants to use maps, she has to physically disconnect the cable, get out of Apple then reopen maps. None of this is required in my Tundra, its all done through Bluetooth. What makes all this more frustrating is last week I was on a trip and rented a Subaru Outback. I pulled out of the lot and remembered I needed to connect my phone and to get maps. I pulled to the side of the road and literally in less than a minute, I had connected and maps and XM was displayed in front of me. It shouldn't be this difficult to use the technology. Keep the car, trash the infotainment center.

The connection across multi carries continues with LOUD pops nd cracks. It is frequent, annoying and unexceptionable.

My Avalon

I traded in my 2015 Hybrid clean Avalon for this car and I must say it look looks a lot more sleek and sporty but as far as quality it feels cheaper on the inside. I can’t stand this 8 speed transmission. It’s too jerky. My 20 year old car shifts much smoother then this. Then it seems like I can feel every little groove on the highway. Don’t get me wrong I Love my new Avalon but Toyota seems to have less and less quality!

The best of the best

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

I have the 2019 Avalon Hybrid Limited and it is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. This includes a Lexus and two other Avalon's in 60 years of driving and well into 1.5 million miles on the road. It is extremely quiet and smooth. Plenty of power and the handling is great. The mileage at 40-43 is a wonder for this large a car. The seating and ride are very good as is the electronics and safety features.
