Ride and transmission questions
 The interior, styling, and reliability are unquestionable, highest ratings.  I owned a 2007 Avalon and the newer, 2013 forward, Avalons don't ride as well, you can feel every bump on the road unlike older versions.  Then there is the automatic transmission.  My 2007 was a smooth riding vehicle and the newer Avalons simply don't have the acceleration and easy to no jerking between gears.  Also, the transmission is somewhat noisy compared to earlier Avalons.  What a shame as this was the car I was targeting to buy but will now look elsewhere.
