2013 Toyota Avalon XLE Premium 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
23 of 23 people found this review helpful
I purchased my 2013 Avalon XLE Premium 6 weeks ago. I selected the metallic black with tan interior. I have gotten a lot of comments from friends, valets, and doorman on the car. They are blown away with the look and feel of the car inside and out. I commute 50 miles a day and now love my commute. Traded in a 2004 Nissan Maxima LS. While it was a great car it does not even come close to the style quality and performance of my Avalon. I am a true believer and could not be happier with my Avalon!

I was shopping for luxury replacements for my 2007 Avalon XL when the new 2013 first showed up at my dealer. It changed my whole perspective. It was not like any Avalon that I had seen! The interior was completely changed and the tan variation was sporty and masculine. The drive and control felt like some of the performance cars that I had before. It was a no brainer, I could have the looks, luxury, and performance that I wanted with the reliability of a Toyota and for $30,000 less cost (I paid cash). I didn't realize how "nice" it could be to drive a car...I really enjoy my time on the road.

2013 Toyota Avalon XLE Touring 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
17 of 17 people found this review helpful
I bought the Avalon Touring XLE model in March 2013. Initially, I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the ride. I thought there was too much road feel. This October, I drove it to Ohio and Indiana from Florida. It performed amazingly and I am now smitten with this machine. I really enjoy driving it and on a smooth road, it is terrific. I am averaging nearly 30 mpg . My driving is all at 60mph where I live . No regrets on this purchase. Update 2016 : I love this car. I looked at the new models that came out this year and I think the 2013 looks better. Update 2018: This car still impresses me. Most of my driving is at 60 mph. In a rural area with a 30 mile drive to a grocery, this is a pleasure to drive. The appearance is great and I am still getting compliments from passengers about rear legroom, comfort etc. Currently at 34000 miles on odometer. Plan to keep this for a long time.

Avalon Definitely Not A Bomb

This is our third Avalon. With that being said, it is refreshing to see that 2013 received a lot of design changes on the exterior as well as the interior. I have to say I like every one of them including the tires and wheels. We were lucky to find a 2013 with only 16500 miles on it. I think I got a fair deal, but not what I consider a great deal. I really like the ride comfort, and the instrumentation on it. My last Avalon had the 6 disc changer instead of GPS, and it was a limited also. I would still be driving it if not for some screwball that blasted us from the back on I-40 doing 40 mph while traffic was stopped. It totaled the car. I do get 31 on the highway and it rounds out to about 25 mph on highway and city driving. I really have fallen in love with the Avalon all over again with the new design. I highly recommend anyone looking for an Avalon to pay a few extra bucks and get it loaded with a limited model. The car handles well with the Michelin tires, and I'll be giving it a total road trip from North Carolina to Florida shortly. I can't wait.

I know this review is on the late side, i guess better late than never. When the new design of the Avalon came out in 2013, I thought it was a great improvement than the previous years. I purchased the Limited model in October 2013 and after owning the Avalon for over 3 years, i feel that i can give a better review. I agree with a lot of the comments about the Avalon, for instance, the seats are NOT comfortable, hard to get in and out of the car due to low roof line, the ride is not very smooth and loud road noise, this is due to the low profile tires. handling is alright, very sensitive buttons for the climate control and radio, trunk light is a major joke, a candle puts out more light. The Avalon is not a car to take a long trip in, its good for around town or a short trip no more than 2 hours. The performance and reliability have been great. The gas mileage has been decent. I guess i accepted the 2013 Avalon to be like my mothers 2007 Avalon, which had a better ride, comfortable seats, easy to get in and out of the car, smooth riding and quiet. What a difference between the two cars
