  A Quality Car - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Big R - January 30 - 7:00 am

  Traded off my 2005 Avalon Ltd. with 90,000 miles and after much research went back to a 2011 Avalon LTD. Gas mileage is great. I can get 30-32 mpg on the open road and around 27 mpg mixed. The navigation system is a little hard to figure out and backing is a little difficult even with backup camera. Love the XM/Sirius option. Lots of room inside and big trunk space

  4th Avalon - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By AutoDrone - November 4 - 10:10 am

  Between my family and I we have owned every model of Avalon Toyota has ever made. Theyve never been particularly striking cars, but theyve been great bang-for-the-buck and the rear legroom is unbeatable. The 2011 exterior changes that, it looks 1000 times better. Unfortunately the interior seems to have been downgraded. The "faux-wood" has less shine and looks like a rental car and the fake brushed metal (plastic) center console is ugly and overhangs the rest of the dash by a good inch. The quality of the stitching in the rear seats seems lower as well. I really wanted to like this car based on the tech/look upgrades, but the interior changes are low rent. New version in 2 years.

  Third one - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By j74b - September 26 - 5:20 pm

  After looking at others vehicles of similar size and power, the Avalon not only was the cheapest with most options, their price was less that 2010 models, with same equipment, second vehicle with sat radio a plus,not as exciting as a Taurus Sho, but better mpg and more rear seat room. Still learning the Nav system but finally conquered phone.

  The good, the bad and the ugly - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By lewisclaim - August 18 - 8:50 pm

  A luxury car, that is selling for an increasingly luxury price. Great quite ride which is much better handling with better road feel than I expected. The comfort and features of the interior are great. Styling is just like every other car now, boxy high sides and cat eye windows. Vision is restricted in all the new cars and it is in the Avalon too. None of these manufacturers have an original idea. If you are paying the extra 10% for the limited, the car should at least say limited on it.

  Company Car - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Businessman - July 28 - 5:53 am

  I recently picked up a 2011 Avalon as my new company car. Before getting company cars I have owned both the Lexus ES and GS models. While the Avalon is not a Lexus, its total package could be classified between the ES and GS. Ride and handling soft, but everything is a trade off.

  Little over 5000 miles, you can not beat the quietness and the ride. This is our 4th Toyota car, you can see the quality control inside/out, I dont get tired driving this vehicle

  2011 Avalon (Great car, Horrible dealership services) - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By avalon_lova - June 14 - 7:56 am

  I love my new Avalon. The suspension is smooth without the floaty ride. Rear seat legroom (roomier in class), adjustable rear seat comfort is a nice touch. Great car to own if you have a personal driver. A/C and Nav controls are intuitive and easy to operate. Only tech missing is the adaptive cruise control.

  Excellent Sedan - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By s56ping - May 30 - 9:37 am

  I love this car. I have had if for two months and have put about 7000 miles on it. Having come from an SUV the last 15 years, the ride on the Avalon is a big plus. I really like the cabin room, smooth transmission and engine, and the overall classy interior. I have been averaging about 23 mpg combined, and have seen 29 mpg on the interstate. The radio and controls are easy to view and use. I have the base radio and its works great and even sounds great for a standard system. The only issue that I have is I could use a little more trunk room.

  Surprised at 70k miles - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By dworth - April 10 - 7:34 am

  Weve had our Avalon for about a year and a half now and have been satisfied. Weve had Toyotas since 1989. At 65k, front brake rotors warped & pads needed replacing - at 68k, the rear rotors & pads got replaced. At 70k, inner tie rods got loose and got replaced. Were holding our breath and wondering whats going to be next. Of course, this is the first Toyota that weve kept beyond the 36k mark, so perhaps this brand isnt as reliable as weve always thought? Although wed hesitate to say this Avalon is a lemon, weve planned on its lasting 10 years...wish us luck.

  2nd one, and love it more! - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By ncee - March 26 - 12:59 pm

  Well my 2008 Touring Model was nice, but bot, this 2011 Limited Edition is just great. I would have never expected it to be that much smoother, quieter, more comfortable then the 08, but man IT IS! Now I had been considering a used LS 460 L, and if they had come to my terms, I would be owning one. Not sure if this would have been a bad / good thing. The LS L was a 2008 with 22,000 miles (45,000 less then my Avalon), and a great car, but a bit more and I had a budget I was going to stay with. Now the local Toyota dealer had just purchased a lot of promotional / print matter from us, so it did sway me a bit. Bottom line, right now I Love the car. Is there things Id like changed - yes
