Overview & Reviews

The Avalon has been redesigned for 2005 and now offers a more powerful V6 and even more room than before.

• Carefully constructed cabin befitting a Lexus, powerful and smooth V6 engine, superb ride quality, huge rear seat.

• Not as much fun to drive as a Chrysler 300, stability control can only be had on top-rung models.

  Very pleasant highway car. A little large for personal preference. Navigation system could be easier to use.

  Major improvements - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By George - May 30 - 8:06 am

  Ive had the Avalon Ltd since Feb 14 2005. Even though the styling is much improved over previous years its still not a head turner. The interior is fantsatic. Roomy Quiet and has some great features such as heated/ventilated ft seats, 360 watt stereo w/6cd in dash changer, hid headlights, etc. Great performance and gas milage combination when the engine is warm And using premium fuel. With 1300 miles on it Im at 24mpg. With past vehicles the gas milage should be 18-20mpg for that level of performance. I would buy another one if I had to do it again. Oh yeah, its fun to drive. I look for places to go just so I can drive it some more.

  Love the 2005 - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By CChappell - May 22 - 11:56 pm

  This is my 4th Avalon and it is clearly the best. Handling is much smoother and you get more features for the money. The new engine provides quicker acceleration to negotiate in heavy traffic. Best year by far!

  A lot of " bang" for not too many Bucks. - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Karl Meier - May 21 - 8:10 am

  Sleek looking car inside & out. Styling should not become "dated" for many years. Road noise is much lower than youd expect for a car costing a lot less than $65K. Rider comfort is lacking almost nothing with the ventilated seats and rear seat back adjustment. And the leg room in the rear is almost equal to a full sized Deville. The ride is a bit on the "soft" side and could be "tightned" a bit. The old American idea of driving your living room down the highway as the epitome of luxury has hopfully passed. Two customers of mine have just bought Avalons and they are as pleased with their choice as I am. Toyota has a luxury car here with a "not quite" a luxury price

  I love it! - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Albert Bigelow - May 10 - 7:23 am

  Detailed like a Lexus but not as pricey. A significant improvement over my 2000 Avalon. Limited version has ventilated seats which are great for long drives. Navigation system has voice-activation, but the operation isnt always that intuitive.

  Rattles front and back - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By T. Wagner - April 7 - 8:33 pm

  Since having my vehicle, my first Toyota, it has been into the dealership over 10 times. A few of my visits have been ones where the car was kept overnight. Why? Dash rattles, trim rattles, windshield rattles that just keep coming back. The dealer has replaced many parts but yet has found a "cure" that lasts over two weeks. That is up front!!! Body rattles in the back were finally eliminated by epoxy caulk after many visits. Both the windshield and back windows have been replaced to try to quiet the rattles. The dealership has been diligent and professional. I have had many vehicles over the years, new and old, but never one with such rattles that persist.

  Avalon is affordable luxury and power - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Jerry Boothe - April 2 - 11:26 pm

  Ive driven my Avalon Limited for about a month now and truly enjoy the features and power it brings. I like a car that not everybody buys and you dont see that many on the streets. I did have a 94 Toyota 2 dr Camry and it was a head turner, people still thought it was a new Camry. I tested the Lexus and Hondas and the Avalon to me was the better buy for the money, the luxury AND the power.

  I love my new Avalon! I had previously owned a 1996...and they have only improved the style, comfort & price. I love the ride and the way it handles... a lot of car for the price!!! Go tes tdrive one...I bet you will be sold on it just as I was!!! I especially like the sporty all leather look of my Touring model.
