2012 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Compounding the Avalon's lack of suspension compliance, its seats are also firm, yet lacking in lateral support. You very much sit on them rather than in them. On a long drive my rear end reported impinged circulation. The front passenger is even worse off, as the tilt of that seat can be adjusted only in the Limited. Rear seat passengers also complained about overly firm, insufficiently contoured cushions. see full Toyota Avalon review |

2011 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Heated seats are wonderful in winter. Dual zone heater/air conditioner a plus for driver/passenger comfort. Back-up camera is handy for checking what the mirrors don't pick up. Quiet, smooth engine/transmission. Comfortable seats are easily adjustable. Easy access and good leg-room in rear seats. see full Toyota Avalon review |

I sometimes have elderly passengers. They do not have to squirm to get in or do calesthenics to get out. see full Honda CR-V review |

The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review |
