2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid drives to Golf Hall of Fame

Great driving 2015 Avalon Hybrid zips to Florida

There is easily room for two sets of golf clubs

The 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is a sports car and a sedan rolled into one. Even when the motor is running it is quiet, and this Limited Model has all the features that allow drivers to enjoy their driving experience. I decided to Tee Off towards St. Augustine, Florida and visit the World Golf Hall of Fame. Driving down I-95 from South Carolina, the 2015 Avalon Hybrid performed like a hot knife through butter when sluggish traffic was encountered. The 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine and hybrid synergy drive system give this auto both the power and the performance to make a long drive seem easy.

The hot Florida sun was no match for the climate control system in the Avalon with its three-zone controls and of course the ventilated front seats are a MUST! The EnTune premium JBL speakers lets the satellite radio play true, and the navigation and back-up camera systems help the driver to keep a sharp eye. With a hybrid you can expect good gas mileage, but this Avalon hybrid barely sips the gas and it is rated for 40-miles to the gallon. You might even get more mileage when on a straight stretch of open highway!

The color scheme on this auto is listed as Ooh La La Rouge Micah, and it carries a price of $45,578. The dynamic radar cruise control and pre-collision system work together to decrease one's cruising speed as you approach slower traffic. If someone is in your blind spot and moves to make a lane change then a warning light goes off inside the side rear view mirror. A special phone charging station is handy and the dashboard offers a multitude of displays, but I especially liked the distance to empty feature. Again, a little gas goes a LONG way in the Avalon hybrid and you might find yourself wanting to keep filling it up so that you can keep driving it more.

I rolled 10,000-miles on the trip
