For me that train (Renfe class 104) is one of the best trains in Spain, it is VERY comfortable for just a medium distance train (AVANT trains are considered medium distance high speed, so it is expected that they are less comfortable than AVE trains, but they are awesome anyway) 👍🏻
To buy a ticket and have good selection on departure and return times, you'll need to purchase tickets 3 days in advance. Same day purchase options are very poor. This is late May 2024. Also, I found the ticket kiosks not useful as the ones I tried would not accept credit cards. Instead go to the RENFE ticket office in the botanic garden in the old terminal.
You are absolutely right. I bought my ticket I think a day before the travel in the RENFE app and some of the services to Toledo were already sold out. Also a seat choice was poor for my trains.
Seats look a little nicer than the Frecciarossa I was on in Italy last week. Roma to Bologna 1h57min.
Not sure if they are more comfy though.
I love riding that train. Very smooth and comfortable

Thank you for the comment.

How much is the ticket to toledo?
I have paid 11.10 Euros
Avant is not a high-speed train in Spain
You are right if comparing with AVE
