If you have a large family the interior size is great.
I love the way it looks, drives. I like the features.. I like the size. I am short and it fits me just right. It has lots of trunk space. You wouldn't think so by looking at the outside. I do not like that all the doors do not unlock when you open the driver's side door only the passenger's side does..

Reliable, stylish and economical.
We've never had any major issues with this car. My husband thinks the seats could be more comfortable but I do not sense that (he is much bigger than I am!) We love the gas mileage (hybrid engine) and roominess of it. We have never used the navigation app after the first year since it has to be upgraded at a cost and our phones have up to date gps at the touch of our fingers.

Classy vehicle that has good power to manager traffic effectively.
The toyota Avalon is a really nice vehicle. When people get into my vehicle, they assume its a Lexis. I wish memorizing seat patterns was a standard.

My car is a good condition and I enjoy myself.
The engine runs best when air and fuel properly mix and burn in the combustion chamber. To efficiently complete this process, a series of fuel and ignition system components must work together. Though many moving parts help an engine run properly, engine sputtering or misfiring is one of the leading problems. To reduce engine misfiring or sputtering issues, make sure to replace fuel and ignition system components as recommended by your manufacturer.

It has good condition. And its performance is so good that I expected.
My primary car is the Toyota Avalon. It is model year is 2013. It is a XLE sedan. There is no problem in my car. Its performance is so good that exceed my expectation. It is very reliable. And very comfortable to drive. It has four doors. It has white color.

My particular model is actually a hybrid, so one can expect a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicle in my Avalon.
I have been a fan of Toyota vehicles for as long as I can remember. They make some of the best looking and most reliable cars. The Avalon really delivers in terms of looks and overall performance.
accountCircle Jill C
It is comfort is unbelievable and it is luxurious.
The Toyota Avalon is the best car I have purchased to date. It is comfortable, rides smoothly and quietly. The gas mileage is very good and while it is a very classy car it is also got a bit of a sporty design.

Negative Owner Reviews

The Avalon is comparable to the Lexus is many aspects.
I do not love it because I had a Lexus before and I loved the luxury part of that vehicle. But this car since it is in the same family and at a more affordable price it has all the bells and whistles that the Lexus had including heated and cooling seats, back up camera. The Avalon is a smooth ride, and comfortable seats 3 adults and a whole car seat system. Another plus side is the truck has plenty of room for the stroller and a households worth of groceries.

Drives really good. Hugs the road. Good gas mileage. Too big.
The Avalon performs perfectly. I just don't like a big car. It is not what I am used to and hard to park. It really hugs the road and drive good in the snow. I have had no problems since I bought it but to replace the battery. That is all I can think of to say.

Basic mom car, nice first car for a teenager or an older.
It is a little Toyota so it is a very reliable car, the only problem I have with it is that it is front wheel drive and the gas mileage is not always the best. I know most cars are front wheel drive but a rear wheel drive option would be nice, the gas mileage is okay but it could be better. The interior is very luxurious for a 2013, the big touch screen with the heated leather seats is nice.
accountCircle Hannah R
Overall it is a good vehicle especially for families.
It has a lot of blind spots. It is very comfortable but the breaks are very sensitive. The Bluetooth is very helpful but it sometimes does not work. The gas mileage is not that bad for a SUV I get good mileage. The automatic start is awesome because I can never find my keys in my purse so that is nice I do not have to take them out to start the car.

Great dependable car with great style.
Love all the features. Blind spot monitoring is wonderful. Enjoy cooled and heated seats. Leather seats are a must. Do not really use moonroof. Power sears great. Dependable and good gas mileage. Enjoy the power of the v6. Wish radio search button was on steering wheel.

The Toyota Avalon has excellent gas mileage. It is very spacious and can fit my entire family in it for family trips. It is nice and comfortable for those long drives. The Avalon is beautiful on the outside. It also has a large trunk for extra storage and groceries.

I wish it had a backup camera. That is the only con. I really cannot think of any other negative attributes of the Toyota Avalon, 2013 model. It is the perfect car for my family and I. We really enjoy this car.
