  Malfunctioning extras are a pain - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By japelo - December 13 - 7:23 am

  Let me preface this review by saying that the first Avalon I had was excellent. I had it 7 yrs. & traded only because someone hit me. The 2011 Avalon I have now is also an excellent ride, but the wind noise and some of its extras are more trouble than theyre worth.

  Love it! - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Jimbob - October 14 - 10:00 am

  Just returned from a round trip to Illinois and driving the speed limits, averaged 33 mpg, which includes a traffic tie up in the Twin Cities, and side winds the entire trip. Couldnt be any better! Fantastic ride and handling!

  2011 Cocoa Bean Limited - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By John - July 15 - 3:30 pm

  Just purchased my first Avalon. Ive been looking at them for a couple of years. The 2011 has everything I wanted and then some. Smooth and quite ride, with the best sound system on the market. Ive owned a Sienna and a Prius and am now trading in a Honda CR-V. Look forward to enjoying many comfortable miles on the highway.

  A Smart Mans Lexus - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By He Dog - January 26 - 10:00 am

  I owned 2006 and 2010 Avalon Limiteds. The 2011 is bit better. I dont know why, but fuel mileage increased over 2010, but its a good thing. Pavement noises are pretty much absent. Riding over pavement irregularities is superb. Space, ergonomics, textures, panels, grains, and the like fit well, look, well, and are pleasing to the eye. Ive never purchased the navigation system. The engine and transmission are smooth. Heating, including the seats, and air conditioning are wonderful. Blizzard Pearl and the beige leather are fine color combinations. Low road and wind noise. I dont understand the "9" ratings for MPG, but at 75 MPH I get 34-35 on road. Needs more thing support.

  Best Car On The Road - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By ToyotaMan - December 13 - 10:00 am

  The 2011 exterior and interior design is very appealing. The engine is spunky. Car is fun to drive and oozes with luxury, quality, safety, and class. Were proud to drive the car and it has the new Toyota five point safety system on it. Engine is not as efficient as the same engine was in our 2006 Avalon.

  Sun, Rain, and lockout - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By David Munn - October 27 - 3:32 pm

  The rear power sun shade quit requiring the removal of the fuse. Dealer told me the repair costs would be prohibitive. The power roof drains have become clogged several times with one occurrence causing the electrical system to go haywire. I have the roof drains checked every 5,000 miles. The power locks quit on three doors. The original dealer tried to tell me that all three locks simultaneously which I calculated the probability of that happening at a trillion to one. The other dealer in the area repaired the problem after three tries.

  Wonderful auto - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By cnunn - August 10 - 1:28 pm

  We purchased our Avalon about a year ago. We love it. The gas mileage is great..drives and rides like a dream, sound system is perfect, quiet, great rear seat comfort, in short, for us, a retired couple in our mid-sixties it is the best car weve ever owned and absolutely perfectly matches our needs. Weve owned Toyotas for 30 years and we like this one the best. Would highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a comfortable, dependable, quality automobile.

  The Best of the pack - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Marv - July 29 - 3:53 am

  I owned the first Avalon made and many in between and the most recent 2008. I was doubtful about the changes in styling for the 2011 that I read about. Well, I bought the Avalon and fell in love with the changes to the interior. It seems more upscale. The dash is beautiful. The exterior styling is an improvement. People ask me when I got my Lexus. I say its an Avalon, they are surprised. I couldnt be happier. I have no complaints at all. The car drives like a dream. I cant wait to drive it every chance I get. Its so quiet. I love the blue tooth, so easy to get it going. I never thought I would pay for satellite radio, but I got hooked. The memory drivers seat is so wonderful.

  So far so great - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By Retired & carefree - June 26 - 8:40 pm

  Very pleased with the car. It has met or exceeded my expectations. Did a lot of research before buying. This is my 1st full size/luxury car. Its a lot of money but its a heck of a lot of car! With the problems Toyotas reputation is facing today incredible discounts are out there on even new 2011s. But even their MSRP prices beat the snot out of the competition. Tremendous engine, transmission, ride & comfort. Quick as this car is it gets phenomenal mileage. Once youve driven one, you will want it!

  Uniformed of truth on batterys - 2011 Toyota Avalon
  By determined2 - June 23 - 8:28 pm

  Purchased 2011 Avalon in May 2010. Constant dead batterys. Cannot leave car over 4 days without jumping it. Not informed this is constant problem with this vehicle as it appears it is being hidden. Have much documentation but they will not put their statements in writing. Sticker price was $47,000 and it started just 10 days after taking possession of vehicles. Beware of Toyota Avalons! All back up documentation available . Toyota is ignoring this problem , It will not go away!
