Overview & Reviews

For the 2006 Toyota Avalon, the availability of stability control has been expanded to include the XL and Touring trim levels. Keyless startup is now standard, rather than optional, on the Limited.

• 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.

  Disappointed with Steering Problem - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Disappointed in MD - August 16 - 9:43 am

  Purchased the car in early 2006. I now have 60,000 miles and I am experiencing problems with my steering. I have taken it back to the dealership several times for the steering sticking when turning left but they informed me that they can not find anything wrong. I am very disappointed with Toyota and see that many others are experiencing the same problem. My hope is that I will not experience the same problem that others are experiencing with the oil leak. Unless Toyota steps up and own up to fixing the legitimate repairs, I will never buy another Toyota. I am currently getting the runaround. Even though I have the extended warranty, Toyota is trying to get around fixing my problem.

  Its A Great Car - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By JKopmar - August 8 - 7:36 pm

  This is the second Avalon Ive had and I love the car. It makes me feel like Im a rich man when driving it. The drive is smooth, and the comfort driving this car is first-rate. The inside styling is sleek and the seats are very comfortable, including the reclining back seats. Although this is not a "luxury" car I cant imagine what could be more luxurios than this. I just love looking at it and driving it.

  Great ride, excellent performance - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By R Chen - August 3 - 7:53 am

  As everyone stated, it is a great car. It is has a very nice ride, especially for family vacation. Great performance in terms of acceleration, passing, corner handling, and smoothness. Luxury interior design makes it no difference from Lexus LS. You get more luxury for your money.

  First non-US purchase - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Don - July 31 - 1:26 am

  Nice performing/handling vehicle. Zero to 60 in 6.1 seconds with good city mileage of 19.5 mpg. Nice design from rear, but front end is pretty blah.

  A Great Car - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By H James - July 29 - 7:03 am

  We turned over our 2001 Avalon to our daughter. The faith in the quality of the car gives us the comfort level for her to have the car for what should be 3 or 4 more years. The purchase of the the 2006 model was a step up in luxury from the older model. The driving experience is a pleasure. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  disappointed - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By william sheridan - July 8 - 5:40 am

  This is my second Avalon, the first was 2000. I assumed this years model would offer the same high quality performance as the 2000 model. Wrong! The transmission seems to shift very harshly and often. The wind noise is excessive and the engine noise sounds like that of a much cheaper auto. The leather used on the interior seems of a lesser quality vs the 2000 model.

  Excellent value - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By 06ltd - July 7 - 8:33 am

  Although its too new to us to enable a reliability review, Im expecting a "9". It came with a malfunctioning laser cruise which was repaired no charge. Excellent, comfortable highway cruiser, efficient, roomy, powerful, and luxurious. The nav is much better than in our BMW. Radio is excellent if not audiophile quality. Body design is much improved over the prior model. Moonroof open is quiet and doesnt overventilate. Oversteers (as do FWD cars) and particularly so in the wet. Its a cruiser, not a sports sedan. It could use a backup camera. Seats are comfortable but could use better bolstering. Flat rear floor is excellent. Some more trunk space and some less rear legroom.

  This is what I wanted, Luxury with the quality of a Toyota. Limited is the way to go.

  My Avalon - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Jim - June 15 - 8:13 pm

  I had my Avalon over a year and it has been the best vehicle I have owned during the past forty-five years. Great ride and power when one needs it. I have not had one problem with this car. My friends whom ride in my car loves it. Lots of room in the back seat for legs. You wont go wrong buying a Toyota Avalon. We love it!

  Toyota #13 - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Ted - May 3 - 1:00 am

  This was our 1st Avalon and 13th Toyota. From the day I first saw one in a parking lot, I was impressed with the design and presentation of the car. I am very particular and this car replaced my 1997 Volvo Wagon. The car is sweet to drive, quite, smooth,and power when you need it. I test drove a Lexus, but could not justify the high cost compared to the Avalon. The Blizzard Pearl is a stunning color. I also like the navigation system. I am a computer forensic examiner and have read many complaints about the entry control feature; I found it seamless and pretty easy to use. The car is elegant with a sporty flair that draws attention. The exterior design is beautiful.
