Fuel Economy On A 2006 Toyota Camry (5th gen)
มุมมอง 1.1K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's a little fuel economy test on a 2006 (5th gen) Toyota Camry. This was a roundtrip of just under 500 miles. The trip was was not on level ground, plenty of elevation climbs. I used the AC a lot and cruising speed ranged from 55-80. Overall, I'm really happy with the gas mileage on my 2006 Camry!

2006 Toyota Camry LE Initial Impressions

Picked up this 2006 Toyota Camry LE, these are my initial impressions after 4 days. I had to sell my 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited. I was working on selling it anyway, and the head gasket blew and it made more financial sense to sell as is than to fix it. I needed a car, so ended up picking up this.
2011 Toyota Avalon (3rd gen) 200k Mile Long Term Review
มุมมอง 12Kปีที่แล้ว
Long term review of my 2011 Toyota Avalon. This is part of the 3rd generation. It has the 3.5L v6 and this body style was only for the 2011 and 2012 model years. In this video I talk about my ownership experience now that the car has around 200k miles. No, I haven’t owned it for the entire 200k. I picked it up around 160-165k miles.

Gwaooo great car the avalon
It really is!
You have great car taste. What went wrong with your Avalon that made you sale it?? I'm interested in purchasing 2011-12 Avalon or LS460L
I appreciate it! The head gasket blew and it made more sense to sell it as is than it was to deal with getting it repaired. Different cars for sure. The 460 is on another level with the v8 and RWD. A lot more features and power. Just depends what type of car you're looking for. If you don't mind a front wheel drive luxury car, the Avalon is such an underrated car. If you want the best of what Lexus offers, the 460 is what you're looking for!
@theaveragecar672 WOW, I wonder how the head gasket blew. I thought those 3.5 toyota engines were durable. Now I'm skeptical about purchasing the Avalon. I love big luxury sedans.
That lovely 4.0 sounds amazing
this past march i bought a 2005 XLE V6 with 200k miles for $2500 bucks, hasnt skipped a beat since
Straight pipe it 😅
Haha I love the silence and how quiet it is, otherwise i would😂
Just bought the same car, 64k miles. 5k. Best part is we also don't have to worry about it breaking down and breaking the wallet. I've got the V6, it's pretty darn fast too. Previously drove and still own a 2003 Lexus RX300 that needs more work than it's worth at this point. That said, I paid 3,500 for it 3 years ago, put in 1k in maintenance over those years. Got 75k miles out of it.
I love that someone put the 2012-14 Camry se wheels on there looks really good. Did u put them on
Yup I did. Found them for sale with tires for such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up.
Avalon and Es350 are awesome and I'm not much into sedan cars
Mad respect for showing off a car in the stock configuration - I just got ahold of an 04 WRX with no exhaust from the cat back - it's insanely loud, so I ordered a proper exhaust in order to not piss off my family leaving for work in the mornings, and I was curious what it might sound like. We will find out how it compares in the next couple days!
Great looking car, it's a Lexus! But i don't know, i kinda like more your other car you had the Avalon, looks a lil more premium..
LOVE it ❤❤❤
Yes
Price? 😊
You never said the cost.
How much ?
my 2004 V6 Camry get 29mpg on highway. love it because it smooth and quiet like Lexus. One thing don't like v6 because it uses timing belt instead of timing chain like inline 4 cylinder.
But it's non interference, so even if it breaks you're just stuck. Not stuck with bent valves too.
****182K Miles?, leave the Rims alone. Save the money for engine maintenance.
How does it drive and handle compared to the 2011 Avalon you had? Which do you like better?
I don't remember how the specs line up exactly, but I believe the ES is a bit heavier, but the Avalon was a bit longer. They drive fairly similar, but the Avalon felt just a tad more nimble. The ES feels more solid due to the increase in weight. I had the Limited trim of the Avalon, and have the premium base of the ES350. The Avalon had more features compared to my ES specifically. Both great cars, even though I've only had this one for a week!
Nice purchase. I currently own a 2013 Camry XLE 4 cylinder that has been a great car but one day would love to own a low mileage 2016-2018 ES350 (last generation of the 2GR-FE and 6 speed auto) I love smooth riding larger sedans.
Agreed on that! Especially if you're on the road a lot. That smooth ride is tough to beat!
Thank you so much!! If you have a Paypal account I would like to give you tip for you tip with the butterfly washers. I was cursing and screaming at the design and then dawned on me to look it up.
Hey no problem at all! No need for the tip, I appreciate the consideration though!
That's so true
Bro, what is the size of your car's rims and tyres?
They are 215/55R17 if I’m not mistaken it’s from the 2012/14 Camry se. The original tire size of the 02/06 Camry are 15
@AyoHustla Yes, I have the original one, 205/65R15, but I want to upgrade it to this one, same as yours. It looks nice, but how about this size? Is it OK with the car?
@@Moh_Omar I think they should be fine the guy that uploaded the video cars seem to be doing fine so you should be good double check with him first tho.
Thanks, bro @@AyoHustla
I have a 2007 Limited. I’ve had it for 7 years. When i bought it, it had 64,000 miles on it. It now has 318,000 miles and still rides like a gem…..
And it should last a lot longer as well! Great cars, and extremely smooth.
this is the most brilliant re-purposing of a cd player in an old car!
It really is a great phone mount! Still have it to this day!
Does anyone know the depth of the drawers? I can’t find that info ANYWHERE! I want to use it to store camera equipment and some pieces are tall.
I use it to store my camera equipment as well. I use the top drawer for cords, chargers, smaller stuff. The second drawer is where I store my cameras, lenses, etc. I want to say the bottom 3 drawers are about 6-7 inches deep or so.
@@theaveragecar672 Thank you! I ended up buying it (surprisingly hard to find in the Chicago area). For anyone else who is interested, all the drawers are 22" wide and 16.75" Deep. The smaller top drawer is 3.375" high and the 3 bigger drawers are 5.5" high.
I have a 2006LECAMARY. Bought it new and now has 95k miles. Valve cover leaks slightly, no big deal. The car does not burn oil. Very reliable. I did change an alternator,fan belt,water pump,tires,front disc brakes. Now my second car and am happy with my 2017 LE.😊
I had the same issue. Valve cover had a leak but never burned any oil. It was a great car! Hopefully the 2017 lives a long and problem free life!
@@theaveragecar672 Has anyone had any problem with the MAF (mass air flow sensor)?
@@rodbutler4054did MAF just need a replacement or what?
Have 227,000 on my 2006 xls still drives and runs great
And it should last a lot longer for ya!
I just bought my 2022 Avalon xle everywhere I go people ask me what kinda car is that... car run so dam smooth and v6 ain't no joke.. to bad it the last year.. hopefully Toyota bring back the avalon
Such a gorgeous design. Bummer they stopped making them for sure, they’re an underrated car!
Damn just got my 2011 74k miles 11k love it tho
Congrats! Crazy low miles, enjoy it!
@@theaveragecar672 thanks will do. such a soft ride and powerful engine
I'm doing 26 on the higway on my 04 XLE V6 with very feather foot 😆 but still got to put new spark plugs and do a full service on the fuel system. It's new to me, after years of low use and some neglect of previous owners (only 61k miles).
26 in that v6 isn’t bad at all! Jealous of the extra power you have. Such low miles, that’s going to last you a long time!
Thank you my hillbilly friend. Short and sweet.
Of course 🫡
Is this low beam or high beam, they seem really good
Low beam! They’re still doing great.
I like your Avalon! I have 2012 with 66k miles. 2nd owner. Car fax showed all previous maintenance records. Last year August, I moved from East to west, drove 3k miles, with full load of stuff rear seat and trunk. The car ran like brand new! The car handled full load of weight, especially l-70 from Denver to I-15. I used to have Infinity Q-45a back in 1994, it was a rear drive with 275 horse v8. This Avalon handles better than Infinity, though less luxury. With 35k added on your car, I would suggest check brake ( most places do it for free ). I just replaced rear brake on mine( according to the record it was first time ) cost $500.00+ at mechanic shop, but if you do your own, it can be less than 1/2. Thanks for the post! Have a happy ownership ! ❤😊
Such low miles, great find. That’s going to last a long while!
Thanks for the tutorial dog.
I had an 05 v6 LE and drove to 400K km (260k miles?) when i sold it, only regular maintenance and some minor issues. The rear bearing needed replacement at 350k km and the headlamp turned vert yellowish and need some toothpaste to be repolished, at 200k km the front o2 sensor went bad and replaced. Other than the aforementioned small maintenance issues it ran like new all the time.
Just bought one and I love it! Great car
They really are. Congrats on the purchase!
If I had to choose between the V6 or the four-cylinder Camry, I would choose the four-cylinder Camry you don’t wanna have to deal with spark plugs and ignition coils in the V6 engine, especially in the back.
Arent these suppose to have a rear wing on the trunk
I've seen some in the past, but mine never came with one.
We have a 2005 and the most mpg we’ve ever gotten is 28 mpg on a 275 mile round trip. 4 passengers and trunk packed full of luggage.
That's really not that bad for a loaded car! I had some equipment in it on this trip, and no passengers.
I had a 05 2AZ and id get around 40-45 MPG I would drive conservatively and my AC was only needed at 1/5 power because it was so cold!! I sold the 25’ years NEW in my city and the AC was colder in the 05’ !! HAHA.
I don't doubt that one bit! That's why I wasn't too mad about 33. I know that if I had less elevation change, drove a bit more conservative, I would have gotten way better. That's crazy that the AC was colder in the 05! They did really good with the 5th gens!
Is this camry a 4 cylinder or V6
This one is a 4 cylinder!
V6 is lower 20s

Thank you for that trick!!! I was fighting with these “snap” in washers!
the used camry's prices are so crazy nowadays.
They really are
Alw yeah they definitely are especially depending on where you live. I seen some for 4000 4500 and it has 220 and up some 250k I got it it’s a Toyota but damn
@@AyoHustlaAgreed, it's because there's too many people trying to flip cars.
@@OfficialDiffy make sense, and some people they just being a bit greedy lol.
Same money can get lexus same great drive teain but more luxury. Used camry.or lexus es avalon us in middle but gets lexus price camry almost as great but cheaper. Same cost get es lexus beyter ride more luxury and still toyota reliability. For price i go lexus, to save money go camry best bang for buck. Avalon muddle ground better tgan camry but more costly but can get equivalent es 300 350 better than avalon for sane cost. Jyst my 2 cents having owned all 3 in the 2002 to 2005 range on these 3. Have 03 camry v6 337k miles runs great but want another lexus for the creature comforts and.not much more for great used one. Been looking jyst waiting to find real clean.model that was maintained good.
Nice car, have 03 camry xle v6. One issue real long term test is much further away lol. My 21 yr old camry 337k miles, now that is long term test for toyotas 😅😅😅😅 sorry but for toyota anything under 250k miles is barely broken in😅. Saw video with late 90s camry with 600k plus miles, now that is REAL long term test for toyota. Unlike most cars toyotas last very long time. Long term test has different meani g when cars go 500k a lot. . Again love the avalin just messing with you. Look forward to update to video in 5 yrs as it will still be going most likely😊
Haha yeah absolutely. I only say long term because during my search, I loved hearing from people who have had the car for a while. Not just getting it for a day to shoot a video! They’ve definitely got tons of life left in them, and a year is a short time!
I have had a 1999 and a 2002 they where the same felt like it floated plenty of horse power
They're great cars!
You mean $1000
Nope, not where I live.
@theaveragecar672 I know, I incredibly lucky to find such a great car (2003 XLE) for that low, low price.
