 Purchased our Avalon Touring Hybrid in May and was immediately very happy with the choice we had made.Looked at the Ford Fusion Hybrid - nice car, but not as nice as the Avalon, whose interior is greatly superior to the Fusion.Have driven 4,000 miles, a mix of highway and city, and am averaging 40.3 mpg.You can't beat that.Put everything together - styling, spacious and excellently appointed interior, plenty of cutting edge technical gadgets - and you have one outstanding package.The fact that it runs on regular gas as another plus.We considered a Lexus, but the Avalon was just too good to pass on.It has to be one of the best cars Toyota has made, and it's made in America!
