This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Carefully constructed cabin worthy of the Lexus name, powerful and fuel-efficient V6 engine, serene ride quality, huge rear seat, numerous upscale amenities.
Cons:
  • Refined nature leaves little room for personality, rear seats do not fold.

  • Oil leak...Just happened - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    Got ready to drive away from driveway and looked back to see all the oil drained out of my car. Its Sunday and will have to wait until tomorrow to see what the dealership will do for me. Out of warranty and hope the recall will cover repair. Wish me luck!

  • Cadillac to Toyota--Was I nuts? - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    This is my first Toyota. I gave considerable thought in the purchase of this vehicle after 20 years as a Cadillac owner. So far my Avalon Limited is 100% perfect. If it meets it reputation as a solid, dependable and fun car it wont be my last, I hope. My wife especially likes the Smart Key and not having to look for the key in her purse. I believe she would rather drive this Toyota than her Corvette-- and that is saying a LOT! The GPS takes a lot of practice and study, but once you figure it out it is very good. It must have been designed by some foreigner. Its the little things that impress me the most like puddle lamps, reclining rear seats & heated and cooled seat

  • Quality and gas mileage - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    After driving 2 Chrysler 300s previous to owning this Avalon, I am particularly impressed with the overall quality of the vehicle. Lots of small and some big problems with the Chryslers, but none with the Avalon. I continue to be amazed by the fuel economy of this large sedan. I consistently get 29 to 31 miles per gallon on the highway at speeds of 70 mph. I have actually gotten 33 mpg on two trips.

  • My new Avalon Limited - 2006 Toyota Avalon

    Im finding it a very fun car to drive. Mine is all tricked out with Laser Cruise, and voice DVD navigation, VSC, 6 disc CD changer.

  • Reliability, Style and Sport - A list - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    After owning a Camry for 185,000 trouble free miles, I committed to the next Toyota model up, the Avalon. The ride, handling and mileage has satisfied my appeal. What has grown is the appreciation for the design. It sleek and complements the interior proportions perfectly. I could not have wished for a better auto to drive, enjoy and admire. I expect 100,000 plus trouble free miles and look to my Toyota service department to help that happen. Couldnt be happier.

  • Senior driving around SF Valley Ca - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    Smooth handling on freeways and city streets of Los Angeles, Orange County California. I am retired senior, male, 6 tall, long legs and I have generous leg room and ample view of road. This car will remain a vehicle I can remain proud of and comfortable in as I age.

  • Love this car! - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    I bought a 2006 Avalon because I had a 98 Avalon and loved it so much I didnt want to get a new one - but my husband wanted to get me a new car, so we got another Avalon. On relatively flat, freeway driving we get 33 - 35 mpg, much more than I thought we would get. We are very pleased with our car. I love the heated seats in the winter!

  • Impressive and a steal - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    Have had the car for 1 week and its been a great experience. I would recommend this car to family. Cant go wrong. The price point makes sense. You get a lot for your $$$. They actually redesigned this car to have its own character... not a bigger Camry.

  • Best Designed Avalon Yet - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    Our 2006 Avalon is our third; weve owned an 01 and an 03 previously, and were satisfied with them. The new 06 weve purchased has just cracked 8500 miles and runs better than our first day. Its roomy, the controls are perfectly aligned and its the ultimate luxury sedan.

  • BEST CAR IN ITS CLASS - PERIOD. - 2006 Toyota Avalon
    By -

    For the price nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close in this class. Lexus, Acura, Infinity you just dont cut the mustard. Wonderfully designed and built AMERICAN CAR, solid performance, fully appointed, eloquent style, comfortable, Toyota reliability - and a GREAT price!!!! Why throw your money down the tub to get a "fancy" label on the trunk? I am extremely happy with this TOYOTA and have no doubt I made the best possible buy. This car will appeal to smart shoppers that do their homework when looking for the absolute best performance and quality in a car - for the lowest price. Not for those that are willing to pay more for their clothes just for the "fashion" label.
