The 2010 Toyota Avalon ranks 1 out of 7 Affordable Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 57 published reviews and test drives of the Toyota Avalon, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.The Toyota Avalon is part of the massive Toyota recall. For more information on the Toyota recall, including how it affects our rankings, please see our Toyota Recall page.The 2010 Toyota Avalon offers a combination of low long-term cost of ownership and a reasonable purchase price. The Avalon line has a hard-earned reputation as a sensible large sedan, and at higher trim levels, an alternative to entry-level luxury cars. As Edmunds says, "It has always been a solid performer, with standard V6 power, lots of interior space and a reputation for reliability."However, the 2010 Toyota Avalon faces a very competitive field. It has a serious rival atop the Affordable Large Car class (the all-new 2010 Ford turus), and the Avalon can look drab by comparison. It also has new dings in its reputation -- the car was part of two separate Toyota Recall due to allegations that it could accelerate without input from the driver.But the 2010 Toyota Avalon may still be the best value in its class. Inside its spacious cabin, the Avalon can feel like a luxury car. Its upscale interior and quiet, well-cushioned ride wouldn't be out of place in the Lexus lineup. The Avalon's up-front purchase price is also higher than some similar cars, but large car prices have been rising quickly in recent years, and its price tag no longer stands out much. The Avalon offers a lot for the money -- and is more reliable and fuel-efficient than many competitors, allowing buyers to recoup some of that cost. The Avalon comes in three trim levels -- XL, XLS and Limited. Several formerly optional pieces of safety tech are standard on all Avalons for 2010 - including active front headrests, brake assist, traction control and stability control. Shoppers might want to note that the Avalon is included in a pair of massive and highly-publicized recalls. The first is due to a floormat design that can trap the vehicle's accelerator pedal, causing unintended acceleration. Toyota safety personnel have informed us that customers can currently purchase a 2010 Avalon with floormats. The car will be delivered with the driver's side floormat attached to the track of the driver's seat with zip ties. Customers are asked not to remove the ties. Toyota will contact buyers with a recall notice when a permanent fix is available.
