Hi Skip,
 
  A few weeks ago after eating lunch I got in my Avalon and noticed the sun shade was up (which I did not do) and I thought I had a problem. After reading your post of the shade activating automatically, I check the manual and it makes no mention of that. But I will assume you are correct, as mine did exactly that.

You can raise and lower the sunshade with a switch. You can partially raise it as well, just like a power window.

I love the car but my wife is having a hard time with how low the passenger seat sits. That side does not have the power up and down on that side. Is there a way to adjust it?

In my '13 Avalon Limited I can not partially raise the sun shade. When you press the button the shade goes up. If you press the button when it is going up, it goes back down.
 
And I can't see myself driving with the shade partially up anyway. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

The seats are gray, everything else is black. Exterior is silver.

I interpret this to mean you should not put more than one CD or DVD in, period. I don't think it is a CD changer and I wouldn't recommend trying to put more than one in.
 
>> The notice on the player says to only insert one disc at a time, so I assume you can put more than one in there, but have not tried it yet.<<

You are right Rob. I interpreted it to mean not to try and put two discs in (one on top of the other) at the same time.
 
But, I just checked and it will only hold one CD.

After it was pointed out, I do notice a bit of distortion in the rear window glass. Based on other vehicles that have the rear window defrosters build in, I believe this if normal. I only glance from the rear view mirror to check traffic, so I've never really paid any attention to distortion. I believe it is normal in the rear glass.

CR just released its initial review (full review to come later), and praises the interior of the '13 Avalon Limited as being Lexus like, but describes the ride as choppy & abrupt. I couldn't agree more.

Be careful of what you say, how often you say it, and to whom:)
 
Many of the folks who visit this forum, said they have had enough with the FEW folks who think it rides hard, choppy, More Sporty É the few?
