2016 Toyota Avalon Sedan XLE Premium 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Good looks, Amazing Value
 I wasn't really looking at an Avalon, but I recalled them looking sharp, so I did an Edmunds price check and the quotes coming back from dealers were surprisingly low for a Toyota, add to that a $2500 rebate, I ended up getting a Premium $7,000 off msrp.  It's very peppy but maintains 26 mpg in mixed driving.  All the technology goodies are there but they're just clunky or non-intuitive or slow.  I've only had it a month, so I can't provide any long term guidance.  The ride is quiet and smooth, and while i haven't taken it out over back roads, it doesn't seem to have an overly soft suspension.  The 9 speaker sound system is better than what i had prior, but still lacks true punch.  You need to get the limited (+ $6,000) for the JBL sound.  The fit and finish of the inside has a very high end feel, EXCEPT the glove compartment door and the sunroof shade (both surprisingly flimsy).  At the end of the day, getting a car of this size with leather, sunroof, heated seats, navigation, smart phone integration, driver seat memory settings, auto climate control, V6, blind spot warning system, and 9 speaker sound for under $31k is great.  You couldn't do better in the Accord, Impala, Maxima, Lexus and maybe even Buick for that price point.
