  • Lovely Avy Touring 05 - 2005 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    I have been driving this car for a year now and I like this car a lot. I am in love with this car, let me put it this way. I know that there are always some problems with any new car but its a small matter. For instance the shield between a spoiler and the trunk is somehow sticking out. The other thing is the frog light is loosening. Other than that its a great car. As you know its a big car and comfortable which I feel like I am in the living room especially when I am in the back seat with recliner. Also I think Its saved me gas with this big car and comfy. How can you beat that? Most importantly I like the power this car. its unbelievable but at the same time it rides like a lexus.

  • Glad I waited - 2005 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    Great car. Glad I skipped the 2nd generation and waited. I sold my 1998 Avalon to my nephew and he loves it. The new model is great. Especially like how quiet it is and the 3.5 liter engine has more than enough power.

  • Best Sedan on the Road - 2005 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    I have driven Mercedes S class cars for 20 years. When I test drove the new Avalon Limited I immediately said "I gotta have this car!". It is the largest, smoothest, most technologically advanced car I have ever driven. No, it wont impress those who want certain labels on the front of a car, but it will certainly impress the anyone sitting inside of it. And one more thing, I took the 40 grand that I saved and bought another car with it!

  • Our first luxury car - 2005 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    This was a stepup for us. We were very impressed with the reviews and the styling, but skeptical about the gas mileage. Wow! The gas mileage has been better than expected. We have yet to get below 24 mpg. And with my wife driving, we got 31 mpg on a longer trip. Comfort and space are excellent, as is the power and acceleration. We are really enjoying the navigation system, it has really come in handy, especially when you are in an unfamiliar city. We are ready for the first oil change (3750 miles) and we will have to see if all things remain the same after a year of ownership.

  • New Avalon - 2005 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    It is about time that Toyota kept a luxury car instead of giving it to Lexus. This is the finest car in its class. Plenty of horse power(280) gives this car ample pickup and top line speed. This car is extremely solid, and very quiet on the road. Inside is very roomy and large. I am over 6 feet tall and there is plenty of leg room and head room.This car is as nice as the Audi A6, and the Infiniti M35, but is $10,000 cheaper.
