When you run up on a piece of tire tread that you could not see in time to avoid ( e.g. SUV in front of you, or coming around a curve, etc. ) and find that it has knocked a piece off your car ( and NO not going that fast, another reason not to buy Toyotas low slung sedans!

The Avalon is an amazing vehicle. I will have this car for a very long time. Got a great deal, and Edmunds helped with negotiating a deal.

Not a Lexus!

2020 Toyota Avalon Limited 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)
2 of 5 people found this review helpful

When I had to get a new vehicle, I could no longer afford the Lexus LS I was used to driving. I chose the Toyota Avalon thinking that it made Lexus and it might be my best best. I ended up selling my Avalon 19 months later though because it just didn't work for me ergonomically. I'm tall and was unable to rest my right arm on the center console because it was too low. In addition, I did not find the seat comfortable after about 20 minutes of driving. Finally, at my age (65), I found it increasingly more difficult to push myself up and out of the Avalon because my hip is a bit of a problem. The technology was good, which is what my older Lexus was lacking. It had decent pick-up as well when needing to change lanes on the freeway. Styling was nice as well. It just didn't work for me, but could be great for others.
