• 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.

  Really Good - needs a little to be great - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Deanie - March 31 - 9:26 am

  This is a really good car but the build quality is not up to snuff - even though my 05 was the first year of the new model, the build quality was a "B" even though Toyotas typically garner an "A". My passenger front door shouldnt be higher than the rear by 2mm. The rear glass has vertical lines of waviness that are visible even when looking through the rearview mirror. Pushbutton dash panel covers open only after 2nd or 3rd try - it takes 5-10 tries when its over 90 degrees! Needs better choice of exterior paint colors, and definitely needs better choices for the leather upholstery! I guess this is what Toyota does to handicap Avalon so it doesnt embarrass its pricier Lexus siblings.

  Equivalent to high end luxury without the high end price tag. My car has been a gem after owning for nine years. It is still an enjoyable ride and drive.

  Best Kept Secret - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Mike Sloan - March 22 - 8:40 pm

  This car doesnt get the fanfare that it should. Absolutely the best car under $40k and just as good as most cars in the $50k range. From the roomy interior to the vast technology, this car continues to impress while providing the prestige that I look for (without being gaudy). Im having a difficult time keeping my wife out of my Avalon, and she drives a Lexus!

  1st time toyota owner - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By swordmaster - March 20 - 8:50 am

  I traded in my Mercedes-Benz E320 on the Toyota Limited. The Limited has almost all the features that the Benz had. The seats are more comfortable, & the added air conditioner along with the heated seats are better than the Benz (which had only heat). Of course there is the price. ($30000+ cheaper than the Benz) It has more horsepower than the Benz, & the comfort & roominess of the rear seats far surpass the Benz. I opted to buy a Tom Tom portable nav system. All in all, I am very satisfied with the Limited. The fuel mileage meter is a waste. By the time it figures out your actual mileage, youre on empty.

  Great car - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By rcbuck - March 11 - 5:03 am

  Drove this from FL to NH just after purchasing. Found the auto to be comfortable and a pleasure to drive. I had read reviews that mentioned soft ride and floating. I found that his car stayed fixed on the road as well as my BMW 325I.

  Recent purchase - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By John Bernstein - February 13 - 10:53 pm

  Its the best motor vehicle I have ever owned. Absolutely not a shade of a problem - thus far. Its still much too early to say whether the car will meet its EPA 32 mpg estimate. My guess is it wont. But I did study Edmunds a great deal before selecting the Avalon and I think I made a good choice.

  As good as my 2000 XLS? - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Jims300 - February 1 - 10:10 pm

  It is a great large sedan and I love the space! My 2000 XLS had front seat adjustment memory controls which are missing on my new 2006 model. Wonder why they cut this out for 06? I liked those and would love to have them now. All in all, this car is a winner!

  "Simply The Best" - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Dan - January 23 - 10:26 pm

  This is without a doubt the quietest, smoothest riding vehicle I have ever owned. It has excellent power and handling. My daily commute is now a pleasure. I would say this vehicle is comparable to the Lexus LS430 in the aspectd of roominess, ride, quiteness. Appointments, fit & finish are also comparable, but the price is NOT.
