If you are 6 feet tall look for another vehicle. I am a little over 6 foot and weigh 225. When you get into the drivers seat you notice 3 things. The vehicle sits very low to the ground and you will not have head room. The third issue is the length of front seat. It is about a 1 1/2 inches shorter than other vehicles. When I drove the vehicle I got thigh cramps.

It was my dream and I bought it last year. What I can say: only advantages. Smooth drive, 3.5 atmosphere engine, 305 hp. Touring. Easy to maintain. Reliable.

2020 Avalon Limited Pearl White - The good and bad

First the bad: 1) The avalon no longer has rain sensing windshield wipers 2) The automatic high beam lights are worthless. The will change to low beam if any car is within 1 mile of you in front. If you can see any white light of a headlight. The auto high beam turns to low beam. This is way too soon. 3) The headrest leans way to far forward and cannot be adjusted back. This causes neck strain on long trips. 4) Shame on Toyota for offering Android auto standard in their other cheaper cars but not in their flagship car the Avalon. 5) I wish Toyota would have put a larger fuel tank in the car. 15.8 gallon tank is the largest tank available and some models only have a 14.5 gallon tank Now the good: 1) Fuel mileage and power with the 6 cylinder engine is fantastic. Driving 73 to 78 mph on the highway gives me 32.4 mpg from tank to tank (95% highway) recording all gasoline used for 1736 miles driven, 53.5 gallons fuel used, tank totally full in beginning and at the last fill up. Let the nozzle click off 4 times before I considered the tank full. 2) Safety sense is great safety feature. Toyota gets a big atta boy for including it as standard equipment in almost all their vehicles. 3) Good comfortable ride. Quiet. Great power and acceleration. Accelerates like a sports car. 4) Love the ventilated seats. Cool A/C air on your back in August is fantastic. No more sweaty back. 5) High safety rating in all crash tests. Great headlights if you get the LED lights.

Near luxury car & less costly to buy and maintain!

Satisfied Owner, 08/11/2020

Recommend the Limited model with Cognac leather interior! This car has more luxury features than my prior owned loaded Audi and gets more than twice the gas mileage! Also vastly less costly to maintain, e.g., spark plugs only require replacement once every 120,000 miles! This car is near perfect. Of course, there are some noticable factors I've noticed that differential this car from a true luxury car: 1) Car isn't equipped with as wide of tires reducing sure-footedness and steering; 2) Infortainment controls are not as user friendly; 3) suspension system and steering isn't equipped wide tires, computerized AWD system and nearly as robust of a suspension system resulting in the car not being nearly as sturdy and easy to steer at higher speeds, around corners and over bumps especially with full passenger capacity and a heavily loaded trunk! That said, all in all this car stands is a stand out leader among near luxury larger hybrid cars in all categories!

If you have trouble getting into or out of vehicle, you would be wise to check other vehicles for comparison. Other than that, a very reliable nice riding car.
