2009 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Seats are too short. Toyota seats are generally not comfortable, but for a car in this price range I would have expected better. see full Toyota Avalon review
