    As always a very good non pretentious review. Thanks for providing such good reviews. Personally I am a big fan of Toyota and Lexus for consistently providing solid, reliable vehicles that are affordable to keep over the long-term and have strong resale value based on those attributes. Regarding the styling, I like certain elements the headlights and the rear end styling. I am not a fan of the enormous grille, seems like the new 2019 Camaro also went that route. I think the previous gen large grille was nicer even though many complained about that grille as well, seems like Toyota doubled down on the grille design on this current platform.

    You couldn't tell much difference in the ride between the Touring and Limited. I've said all along I believe these adaptive and adjustable suspensions are mostly smoke and mirrors. But, overall the Avalon is a very nice touring sedan regardless of the trim, making cross country trips very enjoyable.

      In fact there probably the best tailights I've seen from lexus of course next to the lc.
      Very proud of them 👍👍👍👍.

    How is the torque steer during rain. Reason I hate fwd is no grip at all when it wet out since I live in FL and it rains everyday. Ive been trying to find an awd car in this segment and so far no luck. I am still considering this car only if the torque steer is very minimal.

Please let me know as soon as possible because other vehicles competing with the Toyota Avalon like the Nissan Maxima, Kia Cadenza, Buick LaCrosse, Chrysler 300, and Ford Taurus and most Lexus sedans have the power rear window sunshade.

    @tombarclay7108 5 років тому +2

    Just bought the Touring about a month ago. It's a really nice car to drive, but has some faults that need to be addressed, and fixed.
    * Let's start with the transmission. There's often a lag during gear changes. My 12 year old Honda had a smoother changing transmission. You really have to press down on the gas pedal, more so than on other cars, to get the car to accelerate well from a stop position.
    * Cheap bendable plastic on the doors.
    * If you want to use your phone to start your car from your house/apt in winter, and you don't have an iPhone, forget it. Toyota still hasn't included Android support.
    * The user interface for the GPS system is horrible. I ended up having to enable the live help system to ask a rep to remotely enter the required address into the GPS.
    * The HD JBL audio system is nice... but what's the point of "high definition" when it only plays mp3's. I almost didn't buy the car because it didn't have a CD player.
    * If you want Sirius radio in the car, you have to subscribe to the premium Sirius package with all the bells and whistles ($20+ per month). The cheaper audio only packages don't include car radio.
    * 19 inch wheels allow you to feel every little bump.
    * Noisy in Sports Mode.
    * Seat adjustment could be better.
    * No locking glove compartment. If you accelerate fast, the glove compartment door will fly open, and its contents will spill on the floor.
    The above is my bucket list of things Toyota should address. I didn't point out the pro's, because they've all been shown in the various online reviews. Visually, the elephant in the room is the front grille. Yes, it's big, but surprisingly, you get used to it quickly. It bothered me at first, but now, I like it.

Transmission problems still exist, but you get used to them.

    I drive an 03 Avalon, which back then was based on the Lexus GS platform - much bigger and roomier than the 03 Camry when you compare the two. This new Avalon is far too similar to the current Camry when it comes to size/appearance/interior. Toyota made a huge mistake taking Avalon off the GS platform. You also don't put 300+HP on a front wheel drive vehicle.
    Keep the 4 cylinder FWD stuff for the Camry please - V6 hybrid with RWD is what a big heavy car like the Avalon should be IMO.

    Another excellent review by Matt! From what we see in Minnesota, with gasoline prices at only $3.69 a gallon; folks want large pick up trucks. Preferably these must be raised, with modified exhausts that will increase sound levels, and more! It isn't cool to drive one of these passenger cars anymore. This is sad because we think that this is a nice vehicle. Until gasoline prices hit about $10.00 or more a gallon, Minnesota folks will drive these raised pick up trucks!

    I'm not sure what their target audience is for this. Seems like the older folk who typically go for these cars will be turned off by the blingy grill and juvenile fender vents, functional or not. Not to mention a dash that has no style to it other than a giant rectangular screen tacked into the middle. I miss non touch screen interiors.
