• Carefully constructed cabin worthy of the Lexus name, powerful and fuel-efficient V6 engine, serene ride quality, huge rear seat, numerous upscale amenities.

• Refined nature leaves little room for personality, rear seats do not fold.

  An excellent car needs some improvements - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Raymond Warren - September 3 - 5:16 pm

  I like the stye, driving and riding comfort. The roof trim over the doors pops when using an automatic car wash. The navigation system is difficult to program and operate and is signficantly overpriced for the performance obtained. I will buy another Toyota Avalon Limited, but without the navigation system, unless it is redisigned to make it more user friendly.

  A lot of bang for the buck - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Ted - August 15 - 12:56 am

  After owning this car, it is easy to see why Toyota is doing so well. This American designed and built car is like owning a Lexus but costs much less. The blizzard-white pearl paint job is beautiful. Also owning a fuel stingy Rav4, I am also impressed with Avalons 31 mpg on the highway. I test drove a Lexus and previously owned a Volvo, but the Avalon was such a great car for the money.

  Loss of engine oil with no warning light - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Angry owner - August 12 - 11:46 am

  I purchased my car almost 3 yrs ago, everything was great until it reached 33000 miles; suddenly the engine produced loud noise, it was a complete loss of engine oil with no warning light in the dashboard. The dealer was very familiar with the problem before I even spoke. He asked me if it was the loss of engine oil. I would like Toyota to look into this problem. Otherwise the car is great and I love it.

  2006 Avalon Limited - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Florida Driver - July 24 - 11:36 am

  After 16,000 miles, this car has NOT had any quality-related problem requiring a trip back to the dealership. Havent experienced any sluggish performance in either the engine nor transmission as mentioned in some of the forums posts. Very smooth ride and quiet in city & highway driving. Took quite a while to get that drivers seat adjusted just right. So much interior room without the closed in feeling like you get inside the Acura TL or Mercedes E320. A lot of car for $$$ less then Lexus. Once you start using the smart key, there is no returning to traditional car keys.

  Avalon heaven! - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By LinB - June 28 - 11:03 am

  First-time Toyota purchaser, cant say Ive regretted it one bit. The Avalon surpasses the previous cars Ive owned by light years in build, design, features and most importantly, quality for the money. The ride is smooth, yet firm. The detail to quality on the interior as well as the exterior is obvious. No cheap plastic parts that break off w/ lots of use. The 268 hp V-6 engine performs well, but does have a sluggish response occasionally in low gear. The styling is gorgeous inside and out. My husband is 64" and this car suits him well. The rear legroom is also a plus for passengers.

  Why Look Elsewhere? - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Bob - June 22 - 6:23 am

  What a machine---lets see, faster than a BMW, quieter than a church, built like a tank, 30 MPG, sofa like seats, more electronic toys than the Johnson Space Center, heated and cooled seats, Carnegie Hall stereo and it costs less than lesser equipped sport sedans. Im 62 and in my youth again driving this car -- see ya at the stoplight -- then you can watch my taillights!! People cant believe its a Toyota -- what an improvement over the old Avalon -- or the over priced Camry in feathers. No Camry here -- this is a WINNER!! Check it out -- youll be impressed!!

  I am impressed with my 2006 Limited. I especially like the effortless ride, bright lights, and power that the car delivers while getting 30 miles to a gallon on the highway.

  Tire Pressure - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Bob - May 7 - 7:30 am

  Sir/Maam: I already did a review-- "Why Look Elsewhere" on 1/27/06. Im even more impressed with the Avalon Limited now than I was at first. What Id like to tell current owners and prospective owners is: DO NOT go by the tire pressure on the info plate on the car. I have Michelin 215/55/17 tires and the car info plate calls for 32 lbs---checked with a Michelin dealer and he said that the "CORRECT" pressure should be 40 lbs in these low profile tires. Too low tire pressure causes premature wear. So, no matter what brand tires you have--check with a reputable tire dealer to ensure you have the correct tire pressure. I hope this helps. Bob
