Lower Your Expectations
 We purchased a 2015 Avalon in July.  It was a nice vehicle but the more I drove it, the more I realized it did not meet my expectations.  Due to it's reputation, I expected the "flotation" ride of a luxury car.  I also had issues with wind noise and bumping my head getting in and out.   (Not a vehicle for people who have any difficulty getting in and out of a car).  To say I was extremely disappointed is an understatement.  The dealership could do nothing about the wind noise....... we even tested one straight off the lot when I came to pick mine up from Service.  It did the same thing.  My aunt had purchased a 2015 Av Hybrid around the same time.  When I spoke with her, she said that she had not realized now noisy her 2015 Avalon was until they went on a trip in a friend's Ford F150.  Now that's sad that a pickup was quieter than a luxury car!!!  I traded in a 2013 Kia Soul that I just loved other than the ride.  It had zero wind noise!!!!!!   Complained to Toyota's Houston division but since it is not a safety hazard, they deemed nothing was wrong with the car or it's design and offered no alternatives in terms of helping me purchase a different vehicle.  My only recourse was to go back to the dealership and trade it in.   I now own a 2016 4Runner and LOVE it.  Yes, it is not sound proof, but it rides better and is more comfortable than my LAST purchase of a "luxury" vehicle.  I use the term "luxury" loosely and sarcastically.  BCS
