    I have an Avalon Limited that I bought new in 2007. I love it and I‘ll keep it for many more years. It’s an advanced car compared to other cars of its generation. I have a 2011 BMW E92 and I think the Avalon is more advanced in some areas than my BMW.

    Two years ago, I bought my grandson one for a graduation from highschool. Flash forward to 2023 and he's still driving and loving his 2001 Avalon. Loaded up with only 133,000 miles on it. He washes and maintains it super. He loves it! I've driven many times, runs awesome and smooth. Easy to work on, leather, sunroof... nice car. I told him when he's ready to move on, I'm buying it back from him.

    Thanks for the video, I used this as a reference on what to expect when looking at the car I recently.
    Bought a 2010 Toyota Avalon Limited with 94,000 miles. Whoever had the car first put every option available on the car for the time, even some aftermarket stuff, like 35% window tint and an aftermarket Touchscreen. My absolute favorite part of the whole car though, is how the rear turn signal and tail lights. All of it lights up and not the common half of it is lit and half is a reflector.

    I love my Avalon. I had a black 2005, Lance, and now have a white 2006, Pamela, limited. This car can move. It is huge inside and so is the trunk. The back seats in my 2006 do recline and I'd rather ride in the back, as it is super comfy! Why I bought another one? Bcs my husband was in it and was run off the hwy, at 70+-in the rain- off into a set of oak trees. He slammed on the breaks and put it in park so he wouldnt go head first. He wound up going trunk first. Thebentire back of the car buckled under and bent the car, all the way to the back of the front seats. So, had my hubs not reacted or known what to do, he could have been dead. I truly believe this car saved his life! All the airbags deployed and he was cushioned upon impact. He lost 3 caps off his teeth during the following week, and was a little shook up immediately after the accident, but is alive and well. And that is a true testament to how tough this car is and I will never own anything but a Toyota Avalon. I feel totally safe in this car. I miss the 2005, Lance, bcs he was beautiful and I think he was a bigger, heavier car than the 2006, but the hubs says they weigh the same and are the same size. Next, O want the 2011 Ltd :) just bcs it has more special features. My 2006 is loaded and I do love it. They are awesome cars. Glad to know they are made here. That's cool.

It felt super-fast to me because I came from a 2016 Toyota Corolla. So this car is way more powerful. I'm loving it so far. I always get compliments on the interior of the car. People get in and they think it's sleek. They always say whoa. It's nice in here.

    I have a 2001 Toyota Avalon with 265,000 miles on it. She is driving like a dream. I've gotten the oil changed when due; rotated the tires; and I've had regular maintenance done. I can't believe they aren't making this car anymore. I drove a much later one but it wasn't as comfortable so I'm keeping my 2001 Avalon. I can't give it up.

      Wow - that’s incredibly rare to have such low miles. If it’s maintained and perfect I can understand them wanting that much. They are amazing. Be sure the timing belt was done. Because even at low miles it’s too many years w old timing belt. I’d they didn’t replace you will need to do immediately. If it breaks from being old it can ruin engine. If it’s mint as it should be and interior and exterior is perfect then it’s worth alot.

I was getting a bunch of water in the interior , and will be investigating that all weekend starting with the ac drain hose , then move on from there . I checked all window seals door seals, they look pretty good . Anyway it’s 2020 now and it’s still a great reliable car , still looks awesome , black tinted windows awesome ride . Great MPG . Just upset that it had gotten very wet inside , I soaked up a lot of water , just gotta get the “moist smell “ out , maybe use the charcoal trick . But I know I will need to pull out the rug and pad . Other that that the 2010 Avalon is an awesome vehicle .

    My 01 Avalon has 210,000 miles and I changed the timing belt recently and even did new struts in the front. Yes I spent almost $2000 on it but I have confidence in this car and she deserved it. Drives like new. In hwy she seem to be even better. I been babying it with synthetic oil changes and constant preventive defense. I also have an 08 I can’t decide which I like better.

    I have that same car...bought it brand new in 2005!!! It currently has 233,000 miles on it and still going strong on the original engine and transmission!!! This car has been beyond reliable!!! It’s 15 years old and it drives better than some 2020 cars on the road today! It has the original hoses and belts and has never given me any issues other then buying a batteries....I did have the fuel injection cleaned once. It still has plenty of power and I plan to keep it until she quits!! We have 2 other brand new suvs on our driveway but I still enjoy driving my Avalon. Only thing it doesn’t have is all the bells and whistles of today’s cars. This is definitely hands down the best model of the Avalon!!! Toyota’s engineering is superb on this Avalon and I would recommend to anyone looking for a great reliable used car!! Shop carefully because the car is only as good as the person taking care of it!

    In loos this gen Avalon is the nicest Toyota has come up with, wish I had one. I do have a 2002 XLS and its nice on the inside and I changed the outside to look more Buick like by putting white walls and wire hub caps, looks real nice to me. Got a video of it on my ch for reference.

  • @BigdisplacementI6
    @BigdisplacementI6 5 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Hey Paolo! I have loved Avalons and this gen from 2004-2012 is the best look. I am young and just out of college but hate sporty cars. I actually hate sporty cars due to their stiff rides and unbearable noises. I hear Avalons are isolation chambers that cut you off from the outside. No wind, road, noise etc and super smooth ride? I'm basically that type of person where my road trips aren't zippy but straight. It's winter here so roads are bumpy and poorly conditioned. Would want a smooth, quiet ride here rather than good handling.
    How do you feel this 2006 Avalon compares to the new 2019 Avalon and current luxury sedans? I subbed too! :)

    • @PaoloTheCarGuy
      @PaoloTheCarGuy  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Watson Lee thanks for commenting! Now for comparing other large sedans to the Avalon it would take both for demonstration cause there’s pros and cons for both sides. The 2019 Avalon in comparison obviously has all the safety features you will suspect to find in the competing class of Toyota. I know toyota introduced apple car play but don’t believe the 2019 has android auto (I could be wrong but from my last reading that’s what I remember standing out). As far as the ride between the 2006 and 19 I can’t give a fair comparison since I haven’t driven a 2019 however I did drive the 2018 model. Still a really good ride and I will say between the 2006 and 2019 Avalon They are close to the same ride quality but for some reason I thought the 2006 was smoother over bumps and was really relaxing. However the 2018 models handling was better and you could feel a little extra power. If you are looking for the best ride and suspension setup Toyota has to offer for their current model I will look into the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybird Limited. Either way great cars but ultimate way to compare is drive both and see what your thoughts are between the two and ask for a road with some bumps on the test drive to see which passes your comfort. Hope that helps and again thanks for the subscribe if you will like I have other videos out and starting to offer more for the channel so please be sure to see the new content!

This car is everything you decribed in your vidio. This car always feels like its floating on air when you're driving, it is very fast and quite. The leather interior is beautiful with all the wood accents on the trim panels. Glass sunroof with shade. This Avalon xls is loaded with accessories other vehicles in its class don't have. Also Toyota srarted making Avalons smaller as the years went on. Thank you for the video.

    I own a 2000 Yoyota Avalon XLS here in Victoria B.C. with 335,000 kms on it.
    The best car I have ever owned.
    I tried out a 2007 model and found it too big. Not at all the same feel or ride as mine.
    Other than regular oil changes , one new set of front brakes and a new set of tires mine has had zero maintenance required.
    I get terrific gas mileage on the highway. It is extremely quiet , has plenty of power and is very comfortable . The interior is real leather and shows little wear.
    I can't bring myself to sell this and decided to do a timing belt kit replacement and run it for another 100,000 kms as even the dash and layout is still nicer than any car I have driven.
    I keep looking for one with low kms of this generation but with no luck so far .
    The only reason I would consider changing is that I prefer a blue interior where mine is grey.
    Just love this car.

      there is still a major design flaw with the VVTI cooler line. The 2007-08 had the line with the rubber section. I believe 2009 and newer did not. The cooler line is high pressure and has a rubber hose section in the middle of it that if compromised will cause the engine to lose all the oil very quickly. The solution is to replace it with the all steel line they put in the Lexus. It's not a huge deal, but definitely something to pay attention to.

    A couple of things were missed here. In this generation the carpeting has sound deadening material woven in to help keep a quiet ride. There is an airbag for the knees which no other Toyota had at the time. There is also a rear sunshade that comes up, but might not be on all models. Some of the models still had a cassette deck, even in 2005. The car was intended for an older demographic and business people that might want to listen to recorded meetings or manuals on tape. The limited also had ventilated (cooling) seats in addition to heat. Sitting on an air conditioned seat in hot weather is awesome. The limited also had memorized seats, mirrors, and steering wheel for 2 people. In 05-06, I worked at a Toyota dealership explaining all the features, bells and whistles after the purchase. The Avalon was my favorite vehicle to go over, except when a 70 yr old wanted to know how the GPS worked.

That's an easy DIY.
