So the Veloster N is gone, I traded it in on a 2015 Avalon Hybrid Limited.

It lets me pay this off in under a year and is better for my commute. Will also save me $75-$100/month on gas.

The N was a fun vehicle but no the vehicle I needed for my normal(non pandemic) commute of 500 miles a week all 75-80mph interstate. Also regular vs premium.

This thing is actually quite quick for a hybrid, can pass people on the highway very easily.

This is a 2015 Limited so top of the line, the only option I don't think it has is the Radar cruise control and whatever Toyota calls their accident avoidance package. The interior color is Almond, which isn't my favorite.

Congrats!!! Fantastic move

as an original owner of Toyotas Cressida back in the day, I really like the avalon. I love the rear end design on yours.

current gen avalon is my favorite of them all, especially in TRD guise

Wow, the Veloster N has been traded already! No worries....I sort of have a thing for these Avalons and like you said they are going to be much better commuters. Just sold my WRX for the same reason. My next vehicle is either going to be a hybrid or full on EV. Congrats.

ive driven a few 2nd and 3rd gen prius' and a volt recently and the Avalon hybrid is almost seamless with the engine to ev transition that i hated on the volt and prius.
