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.

  Very, Very, Very, NICE!!! - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By bmwgoz - January 11 - 3:53 pm

  Its only been a week, but it was the right choice and gets better everytime I get behind the wheel. The wife wasnt involved with the purchse, but was flat out amazed and excited. Took a short trip today and highway cruzing was incredible. I highly recommend adding this vehicle to your list of test drives, it might change your mind. As american as any large sedan I have been in. My high reliability rating is based on it being a Toyota at this point, but I havent heard of mechanical issues with 2005, mostly cosmetic stuff.

  By Matt Desmond - December 31 - 3:00 pm

  Car has great pick up. Electronic control layout is very good. Comfortable ride. Interior is very nice. Steering is not as responsive as my last car, Lincoln LS.Very good gas mileage. Runs well on regular unleaded.

  Avalon 06 Limited in Blizzard White - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By mls4deals - December 21 - 3:50 pm

  This vehicle is the ONLY way to travel. It has been hard to get but worth the wait. This is the best vehicle I have ever driven in any class or price arena. It offers the most for the least and is very unique creating much attention wherever I go. Love the power, style, comfort and economy. Do NOT HESTATE. :)

  Avalon = Pain - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Uncomfortable car - November 30 - 10:53 pm

  I was duped by its performance. Once the honeymoon was over, the pain started. This car is large in every dimension except one: the room for the driver!! The console restricts the available leg room. The pedals are oddly spaced causing you to have to twist your foot at an odd angle in order to depress the accelerator. The driver’s seating position is terrible. The seat cushion is like sitting on a 2 by 4: No comfort whatsoever!! There is no lateral support for your thighs. I have driven this vehicle for over 13000 miles to date and have yet to find a comfortable driving position. Save yourself the pain. Buy a different car.

  Lexus - No. Toyota - YES!! - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Brian - November 30 - 5:00 am

  I cannot imagine spending $20K more for a Lexus. This car accelerates wildly, stops quickly and ensures you are safe doing so with a multitude of safety features. You cannot find another car with comparable performance and luxury for this price. Toyota reliabilty is the icing on the cake. My touring model handles and rides like a european sedan. Flat, stable and sound handling that instills confidence. I drive cars for a living and have done so for over 25 years. This is the best vehicle, overall, that I have ever seen or driven.

  No Regrets - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Suzanne - November 25 - 9:43 am

  Being the kind of person who looks for a good balance of performance, reliability, styling and luxury for a reasonable price, I settled on the Avalon. From day one of owning this car, there has never had a doubt in my mind that it was the right vehicle to achieve that balance. This has not been the case in prior vehicle purchases, and certainly not with the 300M I came from. No comparison. I selected the Touring trim, as I couldnt justify paying a lot more a few extra features (push-button start, rain-sensing wipers) that I really dont need. I miss the heated seats in Minnesota, but the car is black, so it works. This is a car that I know I will keep for many years to come.

  Great car for the money - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By happy owner - November 18 - 11:40 am

  Traded an 01 Cadillac DTS for my first for my first foreign car (built in Kentucky!) and have been very happy. Excellent performance, 0 to 60 in under 7 sec,and averaging 29 mpg on highway on regular. Just returned from a 4000 mile trip and got 35 mpg on a 55 mph strip. Thats as good as my daughter got on her 95 Civic coupe. The Caddy got 15 in town and only 24 max on the road. The Avalon has much better acceleration too. I also expect to get much better resale value than the Caddy.

  First Class - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By thomas thole - November 15 - 8:06 am

  This is no doubt the finest all around car I have ever owned. I just sold my Cadillac 2001 DTS and am buying my 2nd Avalon Limited. My 1st one was delivered 4/18.

  My 2006 Avalon Limited - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By ROBG9 - November 13 - 6:53 am

  This is my third consecutive Avalon. First 1995 second 2000 and present 2006. I find the Avalon to be a safe, reliable and comfortable car. Guests who ride in the car for the first time always comment on the design and interior room, luxury and comfort. If my present Avalon proves to be as reliable as my previous ones then I will be buying another when that time comes.

  Only so-so - 2006 Toyota Avalon
  By Mary Short - November 12 - 2:20 pm

  I would like this car more if it were built better and the seats were more comfortable. Ive had several problems with the transmission and the electrical system. Ive had it at the dealer three times since buying. Plus, the seats are too hard.
