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

2012 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
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

2012 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

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
