Reviews SummaryThe 2021 Toyota Avalon serves a simple function. It bridges the price gap between the Toyota Camry and the Lexus ES. In fact, the Avalon and the Lexus are essentially the same cars, the latter offering a greater degree of refinement and a more appealing design. Otherwise, there isn’t a reason for the Avalon to exist in a world gone mad for SUVs. And that’s especially true when a certified pre-owned Lexus ES that’s just a year or two old costs less than the new Toyota. | |
Reviews SummaryIt’s true the Honda Accord midsize sedan doesn’t have all-wheel drive, a third-row seat, a big cargo area you can pack to the roof, or styling that suggests you live an adventurous lifestyle. If you want those things, spend thousands of dollars more for the Honda Pilot SUV, which is less dynamic to drive and more expensive to own and operate. But, if you don’t need (or want) those things, consider the 11th-generation 2023 Accord, which remains an excellent, if comparatively expensive, example of the traditional four-door family car. | |
