OWNING AN AVALON HYBRID IS GREAT!!!
 I LOVE THIS 2013 TOYOTA AVALON HYBRID!!  Excellent styling, nice interior with really good color combinations, FABULOUS GAS MILEAGE.  My first week of work commuting, in rush hour traffic, it achieved 40.3 MPG.  Took in on a week long vacation, traveled 783 miles, up and down mountains (climbing to 9,000 ft) several times and achieved 38.6 MPG for the entire trip!!  Only spent $56.00 for gas the entire week!  The rear seat is large enough for my 6'5" son to fit in without his knees touching the front seat.  The trunk is larger than it appears, it held all our luggage with ease.After 6 mos of driving this car is is still GREAT!!  The gas mileage drops a little in the winter time due to running the heater but everything is wonderful.  YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS CAR!1 year later - I'm averaging 36-38 MPG traveling to/from work in rush hour traffic (lots of stop and go) or going 79 MPH.  The maintenance has been very simply, oil change only every 10,000 miles (synthetic oil), the breaks have not worn down at all, tire rotation every 5,000 miles.  Excellent air conditioner for the summer months with only a 1-2 MPG drop.
