 Had planned to purchase a Lexus 300H but found local Lexus dealers not buyer friendly.Decided to look at the Avalon as an alternative and made a purchase which I now regret.The hybrid platform performs wonderfully; power is adequate and economy is better than expected.So far with 5000 miles average MPG is 40.1 with 70pc highway at speeds 70+ MPH.My main issue with the vehicle is interior build quality/fit/finish. I have owned many cars over the years and not since the early 70's have I had a car with so many interior rattles.It is unpleasant to drive the vehicle on anything but newly paved roads.Ride quality is firm, but not unpleasant and seats are adequate for long drives.
