Kelley Blue Book Favorably Reviews the Toyota Avalon

Drivers for years and years have turned to the experts at Kelley Blue Book to determine which model and brand they should purchase when they're in the market for a new or used car. Yes, Kelley Blue Book is quite the trusted auto source, which is why we at Avondale Toyota were so thrilled when we found out that the popular publication had paid such high regards to one of our favorite models in the new Toyota lineup: the 2013 Toyota Avalon.

That's right, after taking the 2013 Avalon for a spin, editors were awed and amazed with its plethora of convenience, comfort and safety features as well as its refined style and dynamic performance capabilities.

Specifics cited by KBB about the Avalon include its high-end material, supportive front seats, well-tuned suspension and minimized noise disturbance. Other notable attributes cited were touch sensor controls to replace the standard dash knobs and buttons found in most vehicles.
