  Very Close to Lexus - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By zdude - January 27 - 9:20 am

  I traded my Lexus LS430 for the Avalon and so far I really like it. It handles better than I expected and the gas milage has been fantastic! It has all the amenities I was wanting and so far has been trouble free. I drove 900 miles in one day last week (yes, 900 miles) and the journey was pretty comfortable the whole trip! So far I am very happy with my purchase. The car is no stunner in the looks department but I like it and prefer a less-flashy car in these times. Also, to the poster who said it was ugly why would you buy it based on all the negative comments you made? Didnt you see it / test drive it before you bought it? Maybe get help before your next purchase next time.

  Smooth, Quiet, Fast, and Great Mileage! - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By robsis - November 11 - 6:02 pm

  Wow, are we impressed. This vehicle is such a great road car. Quiet, smooth ride, with lots of punch if you need to pass. 30+ MPG on the highway and 23-24 in town. Love the new dash re-design and the six-speed automatic. You can barely tell its shifting. Plenty of room both in the front and back. Heated/cooled seats are a joy. Our friend, who drives a Lexus LS460, said our Avalon was quieter than his LS, and just as smooth on the open road. Our final choice was between the Avalon and a Genesis. Genesis was a nice vehicle; however, comparably equipped, the Avalon was thousands less and we liked the FWD for our snowy winters. Test drive it for 30 minutes or more and youll be sold.

  Toyota makes another bad decision - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By C and G Shingleton - July 4 - 9:20 am

  Purcd 4/28/10 - give all eval. ratings a ten. Bliz Pearl w/Lt gray interior carpet. All online 2011 Avalon Ltd online pics as well as build-your-own car have matching carpet color mats. Ours arrived w/black mats we didnt want. Imagine a beautifully designed kitchen, w/a black plywood floor? To the eye, black is a size reducing color. Seems like black mats are up to our knees. Feel we are due $199. Called CA CServ. CS person said we dont reimburse and ALL Avalons now come w/black mats. We said Toyota is deceiving cust. Could have easily notified Dealers or put new link online. CS person had us on hold ten min-came back-said Toyota will reimburse you. Mail us copy of Vehicle sticker. We did

  poor back up camera - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By keneg1 - June 8 - 8:49 am

  I purchased my 2011 with 32,000+ miles. the backup camera doesnt show evenly on the navigation screen. It isnt centered on the screen. The dealer told me after I drove it off the lot that all 2011s have this. "It is on all the 2011s". Ive asked the dealer 5 weeks ago to drive another 2011 to see if that car has the same problem. So far, he said he hasnt had one to test. If anyone has this problem, please coment. Thank you.

  Edmunds Wrong - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Lucas Boxley - February 27 - 10:00 am

  I love Edmunds but, how can you give the hard riding noisy Honda Accord 7.8 and give Avalon 7.3 the Honda cannot come close. I traded es350 a great car which was my fourth Lexus and I cannot be more pleased. This is the smoothest and quiet car on road yes there is body lean at times, but to those of us know and are not caught up in cornering and skid-pat testing who love real world driving this is a great car

  Love My First New Car - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By vince - February 5 - 12:00 pm

  Ive never bought a new car but when my 1998 Q45 clipped over 200K miles it was time. Looked at the SHO, but too bulky for my taste. Avalon Limited was an easy choice, lots of great features and a very economical price. Immediately took it on a 2K road trip and got great gas mileage, wonderful handling. I love this car. Clean and simple.

  First Avalon - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Ann - June 19 - 5:20 pm

  Purchased in April 2010. My first Toyota and hoping the Avalon lives up to its name. At the present I am experiencing a problem with the back window shade. It goes up and down at random times. Have no idea what sets this off. Any suggestions before I take to dealer?

  Not as good as I thought I was getting - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By molly1206 - March 10 - 4:07 am

  Used to LeSabre. Avy does not have as many features, has a motor whine, and windows stick; trunk whams when closing. Overall ride is smooth, gas is good. Info display very limited. 1st and last; back to Buick. More bang for the buck.
