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.

  Love My Avalon - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By hutch34 - May 1 - 7:30 am

  I came out of an Acura MDX into the Avalon. I waited for months for the new Acura RL to come out but was disappointed in its cramped feeling. IMO the Avalon is just as nice as the RL but much more comfortable. It approaches Lexus quality at a Toyota price. A really fine automobile.

  Only 1000 miles - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By P W K - April 9 - 10:06 pm

  Avalon Touring - Rides a little hard. Handles well. Large interior. Lots of room in both front and rear. Rear seated passengers are very comfortable. The V-six engine gives the vehicle power if and when you need it. Fuel: Vehicle only has 1000 miles. Dealer recommended Regular. Getting about 16 MPG in city and about 24 MPG on highway driving. Going to switch to a higher octaine. Toyota factory representative and Owners Manual recommends high test for max fuel performance. Next refueling, switching to high test. Large Capacity Trunk.

  2005 Avalon Limited - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Bart - April 4 - 4:20 am

  This 2005 Avalon Limited is a new style with many new options. Many new drive assistance features on the multi- purpose screen. Turn signals incorporated in outside mirrors are great. New dash/gauges are easy to read. Great ride and performance with the 3.5L engine and 5 speed transmission with bump up or down gear shifting. Telescoping and tilt wheel are great. Heated and cooled seats using air flow are really comfortable. Looks more modern that previous style.

  Most comfortable car I have owned - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Marla - March 29 - 10:53 pm

  Driving this car is like sitting in your living room recliner with surround sound on. Seats are VERY comfortable, sound system is magnificent. Has all the safety features standard. Gets 4-5 mpg better gas mileage than my Nissan Maxima did. Comfortably seats 5, huge trunk space, and most importantly phenomenal pick up. One downside, bumper is a blindspot while backing up. I suggest a back up alarm be installed.

  Great Car - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By EasyRider - March 18 - 2:53 pm

  Improved over an already good car. Extra power, many interior improvements/upgrades. Very very quiet, smooth ride. Excellent handling, braking. Interior is large and comfortable, including reclining back seats. Many features are included in base price. Best car Ive ever owned in 50 years of driving.

  AMAZINGLY LUXURIOUS VEHICLE!! - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Susan Marquez - February 20 - 5:50 am

  I love my New Avalon. It has all the bells and whistles I wanted. It is so comfortable inside and so stylish outside. I am so happy that I chose this car over a Lexus without all the bells and whistles.

  A new approach to luxury sedan - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Ugo Bozzano - February 13 - 7:43 am

  I owned an Avalon for almost 8 years and I truly liked it. However, the new model is a tremendous improvement in exterior and interior design; it has great confort features (T control on both sides, control buttons on drive wheel, reclineable rear seats) and sound system (9 speakers), safety features, and a terrific 3.5 lt engine.

  A Great Buy - 2005 Toyota Avalon
  By Alangc - January 22 - 7:20 pm

  The vehicle is a poor mans Lexus and is a pleasure to drive. It is well worth the money and I love the heated & vented seats.
