  Totota Avalon 2006 - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Curtis Feldt - March 3 - 5:26 am

  This car is the best I have ever owned.It is comfortable, very peppy,gets decent gas milage and is thoughtfully designed inside and out. I weas a kid of 9 to 13 in World War 2, with high school heroes coming home after horrible treatment by the Japanese, so it took me 61 years before I would consider a Japanese car. But now I am very glad I bought a Toyota Avalon.

  More in common with a Lexus than Toyota - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By ibentmywookie - March 2 - 10:40 am

  Its a Lexus, minus the "L" on the front -- which drops the price by at least $10K. Its a joy to drive, the gas mileage is fantastic for a car of this size, and this car can GO. I have to be careful when driving because its very easy to push it past 90 on the highway without even thinking about it -- the ride is that smooth. This is a car that will never annoy you.

  Very nice car - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By pc - February 5 - 9:13 am

  Ive had my Avalon for a month now and I am very pleased. One minor trim problem (faux wood piece in door not seated properly), which Im surprised was not caught at the factory. Very roomy, which was a priority in my purchase decision. Transmission takes a little getting used to and can be hesitant on occasion but not something that would change my original decision. Power is more than adequate and a nice, smooth ride. Im hoping my Toyota wears as well as most others Ive heard about. If you want a roomy, full size car, this is the one!

  Buick Convert - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By LS - January 29 - 4:43 am

  Having been a buick fan (last one the Ultra) I am finding this car to be far superior. Allthough the car seems smaller and more sporty to drive the overall size, comfort and interior room are equal to the Buick and provide plenty of room for a large person. Interior storage compartments are vast and handy to access compared to the Buick (dont have to jamb the door shut on the glove compartment). The quiet motor provides all the get up and go that I require with extra to spare. The bumps are noticeable on inferior roads, but on a quality highway it rides and handles like a dream. Am constantly finding little extras like the hold down clamps on the floor mats.

  No Body Side Moldings - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Piper - December 26 - 7:06 am

  This is my second Avalon, gave my old 1998 version to my son. I love the Lexus like quality and look. Great dash, plenty of interior space, lots of nice features, like the auto dimming exterior drivers mirror, extendable arm rest and reclining rear seats. Rear Lip Spoiler is a must. Was disappointed it does not come with body side moldings. Went on-line and found at Bob Bridge Toyota in Renton, WA. They are genuine toyota parts..... looks great and protects from door dings. Local dealer installed for $40. in my opinion they should have been there to start. All is all a great car to drive.

  A Fantastic Car That Needs Fine Tuning - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Mikie - December 6 - 2:53 pm

  This is one fantastic car. I love how quick it is on the road and it drives like a luxury car. People are always telling me how beautiful this car is. I only have a few problems.The paint on the front of the car chips easily. I have lots of chips from stones. Maybe an extra coat of paint would help. The mirrors should turn in so I can get the car through the car wash. There are two blind spots if you look to the back of the car. Other than that, I love this car. Oh by the way. I still have a 1995 XLS with 160,000 miles and the car purrs like a kitten. Only thing Ive had to do is put a timing belt in the car. These Toyotas run forever.

  Great Car - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By robroo - November 27 - 12:03 pm

  Not much wrong with this car. Great mileage, even at higher speeds. Seat cushions are not padded enough. Would buy another except MPG has dropped by 3 for 2008 models with same engine.

  Fun to drive to work - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Bob - November 5 - 5:20 am

  I have 7000 miles on my new Avalon. I drive 100 miles a day. It has been a joy to drive even in bad weather. A good value for the money!

  Totally pleased with my Avalon - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By L.A. Driver - October 25 - 2:00 pm

  This is a great car! It is solidly built and stylish in design. It provides a smooth, peppy drive and agile steering. It is comfortable for both the driver and the passengers. The interior is plush and the back seat is so roomy. The reclining rear seats are a special touch of comfort. The JBL sound system is excellent and I thoroughly enjoy the "surround sound" feature. I am totally pleased with my new Avalon.

  06 Avalon - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By B L - October 11 - 11:30 pm

  I feel this car should be in the luxury class of cars. We road-tested the loaded Honda Accord, Nissan Maxima, Lincoln Zephyr, Mazda 6, VW Passat V-6, BMW 3 Series (& X3) as well as a few others; this Avalon has a better all- around feel. A little road noise on "rough road" surfaces but what car isnt? (could be the brand of tire)
