 Favorite feature:

Ride, handling, acceleration, value, stereo.

 Least favorite feature:

Uncomfortable center rear seat; controls for lights, wipers, cruise control.

 Advice to buyer:

The Avalon gives you the most car for the money.

 Detailed review:

The center rear seat is the most uncomfortable I have ever experienced. There is absolutely no padding for the back (spine). That passenger could not stand a long trip. The settings of the stalk controls (lights and wipers) are totally obscured by the steering wheel when you are driving on a straight road. The cruise controls should consist of SET/ACC, COAST, and RES (resume). The CANCEL button should be elimintaed. Touching the brake does the same. Avalon could use a face-lift like the Camry got.
