TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Toyota Avalon
| 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 | ||

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

Had heard that the seats of the car were amongst the most comfortable and they really are. Not to mention the adaptability to body contour, especially as I am on the bit healthier side. The control panel layout and other gadgets are aesthetically laid out see full Volvo S80 review |
