 The two cars I drove prior to this 2015 Avalon Limited (with Tech pkg) were a 2005 Avalon Limited and a 2013 MB E350 - I think the information may help you weigh my review.  First - the 2015 Avalon does not stand up well when compared to the 2005 Avalon.  The ride is more stiff while never feeling a bit sporty.  The noise factor is quite disappointing as the new Avalon gives one much more road noise.  I did not expect the Hybrid car to perform like the 6 cylinder gas version, and it doesn't.  The hybrid does, however, deliver up 39.2 mpg in my real-world mixed city-hwy driving.  The 2005 Avalon fluctuated between 23.8 -25.8 in the same driving.For 8 months I drove a 2013 MB E350 which cost about the same as the 2015 Avalon Hybrid Limited.  The MB was a much better driving car and the sound experience was on par with the 2005 Avalon (quite good).  The MB did not, however, have the same safety technology package in that price point - one would have to spend $5000 more (on a certified MB) to have the similar technology package.  The 2015 Avalon feels light and cheap as compared to its predecessor or the MB.  It also has less power, but is sufficient in that department.  It is really not a joy to drive.  On the other hand, the interior styling is beautiful and outshines the MB and the 2005 Avalon by a great deal.  The safety features are plentiful, but the stereo is mediocre at best.Despite being happy every time I fill the fuel tank, I would not buy this car again.  If fuel prices go to $5 a gallon, I may change my mind, however.Update for Spring 2017: there really is no update. More of the same. The car is still unremarkable to drive. The exterior styling still looks like every other car on the road. The interior is still attractive yet not particularly comfortable. The fuel consumption is still excellent. I still wish I had bought a different car. But if you can accept that it is a good car, not a great car, but will likely be reliable for a long time, this may be your car.The 2015 Avalon now has 49,000 miles on it and it still performs exactly the same as it did on the first day I bought it. There have been no significant repairs and no significant expenses incurred. It still looks just like every other car on the road and it still transports me flawlessly every day. It has just now worn out the original set of tires, but other than that even the maintenance is de minimis. Buying this as a new car was probably a bad idea but buying it as a used car for your daily driver is probably a great idea.The Avalon made it to about 60000 miles and we were involved in a relatively minor accident, but it became a total loss.  It appeared to me that the light weight build of the vehicle turned a $5k loss into a total loss. I replaced it with a certified MB and am much happier.Last note on the Avalon, I despised the voice recognition technology that almost never worked and the great fuel comsumption did not begin to be a good payback for the loss of ride quality.
