just bought this 2012 avalon with the same color like 2 days ago after watchin your review i don`t like 2013 -2018 shapes this is a classic shape with lots of class.
Me 2. Too futuristic. This on classy
i agree. I don't like newer avalon design.
I agree with you about the 2013-2018 body styles. The interior also seems like riding in a space ship, not a car. I love my 2012 Avalon.
Watching this makes me appreciate my Limited 2011 much more! Have been owning it for over half a year and put more than 6000 miles (mostly highway) on it. It is truly a wonderful cruiser for the price! Smooth V6, super comfy seats, great sound system. If you live in cities with potholes everywhere, the Avalon is a great choice, it rides super soft. And of course, you can always roll up the rear peasant blocker if you don't like the person behind you lol
🤣💯
The JBL stereo system with the subwoofer sounds amazing too
I know! Crazy sound for a factory system!
I like cars with subwoofers so that I don't get a subwoofer cabinet for the trunk to avoid taking space on my gears when it comes taking my music gear at gigs
I too, have always loved the Avalon. My friends in college used to say, "how can you want a grandpa car??" to which I would answer, "because I know I'll be driving that car, until I become a "grandpa" myself!!" Lol
Awesome video, and I have to say, you're super handsome and that makes the videos even better!! 👍🏼
I agree with you I have a Avalon 03 with 240,000 miles
Anybody watching this in 2023 and ownes a Toyota Avalon with this body style?
I'm about to get one
Avalon 2012 is one of the best cars that you always dreamed of owning, a beautiful, rare and elegant car. I wish I could go back in time and get a 2012 Avalon
"When you push this rear sunshade button, watch this.." The suspense was killing me. All jokes aside, I just bought a 2011 Avalon Limited (April 2021) and Im looking forward to years of trouble free driving.
I have a 2011 Limited and couldn’t be happier. Great car.
Same feelings about 2011 avalon limited
The best car
@@hemra8963 as far as real world maintenance goes would you recommend this as a first car? I say this because i always viewed the Avalon as a Lexus with a Toyota badge (higher maintenance).
also since the Camrys are personally tight for me I started looking at the Avalon
I love my 2002 Toyota Avalon XL.
I will buy avalon again for sure.
2012 limited looks so damn awesome.
Thanks for the video
My 2005 XLS avalon works great, lots of leg room and plenty of power. Many folks consider this ride geriatric-mobile but I don't care, still enjoy taking long trips along California coast. Awesome, thorough review of my favorite car. Keep up the great job of reviewing cars.
Cheers.
Thank you so much for the input and for the kind words, my friend!
I want a Avalon so bad. Love this body style.
The best model for Toyota Avalon 😴♥️.
I agree it was the only one that was different now they all look like a large camry.
Very lovely presentation. am definitely buying one of these
The best Avalon to date. More luxurious than 2021.
Such a beautiful and classy car
Good job showing the rear reclining seats first. Best feature!
I thought so too! I decided at the last minute to put that first in the video and I am glad I did! Thank you for the contribution and stopping by!!!! Have a wonderful day!
Brock
Thank you, this is one of the best tutorials I've seen on this car. Most important, this is one of the most intelligent approaches to explaining it with minimal opinion, bias. I get tired of hearing these guys compare it to fancier sport cars when they're not even in the same class. I'd consider choosing this over the 2011 Avalon and I notice the backup camera has all the lines versus the 2011 but I could be wrong. But either way, thank you for this video...and no, I'm not an old guy who likes old guy cars, as those other reviewers would say. :)
Exactly bro I agree 100%
Thank you so much for this video it is very detailed and hands on.... The way you explained everything for someone like me who doesn't really know much about vehicle's (because I'm newly licensed) can appreciate a video just like this so thank you... Plus you have that sexy Clark Kent Superman look going on that makes the videos that much better hehe😍
You are so welcome and thank you for the kind words! Been working on that whole Clark Kent thing for a while - glad someone noticed 😆. Thanks again!!
Every time l get some crazy notion to sell my beautiful 2011 limited, it takes me about one day to realize that this is the nicest l have ever owned and if l want to get a car for taking long trips, l can't beat what l already have! It runs perfect approaching 200k and l absolutely love the "ole grandpa" long body.
Get one, you'll love it. ✅️
I have a 2012 Toyota Avalon Limited in the Pearl color with Ivory seats. I love my "Pearly Girl" as I call her. I have test driven the newer models but I will stick with my Pearly Girl. Right now she has 54K miles on her. She is a smooth car with a beautiful look. No problems with her at all. My fiance who is an ASE Master Tech put a Super Charger in her a couple years ago. Her HP is off the chain now. She floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee! I had an Alfa and an Accord before her. She also has Pirellis. I prefer her by far. I am the Proud owner of an AMAZING car! Toyota rocks!
I had to subscribe, amazing review man! Keep it coming!
Yes!!! Thank you so much for the sub and I hope you’ll come back, my friend!
Had to luv ur detailed video mister...👍
I got the white one and a black Avalon all I gotta say is it really the best car ever made
Great video, well explained
The quality of the buttons on the dashboard, next to the screen and the ones on the steering wheel are very high-quality. Great attention-to-detail Toyota put into the Avalon
Avalon has only one weakness - it corners like a boat. In every other sense, this is a perfect car. Just beware that it will need OEM Toyota ignition coils, other than that aftermarket parts work well and the engine is very reliable (early years are known to burn oil but it was minimal for my 2006). 2011/12 is definetly the best year for the car in terms of comfort and luxurious feel. Limited edition is the way to go, perforated leather is a thing of beauty.
Getting a 12 in July.... Perfect car
Great video 👍
Very nice car really want one in good condition classy and elegant
Have an 07 limited that engine is crazy and the car is very nice. Same car as the Lexus gs350 I had
Thank you for your video love that
Absolutely! Glad to help you!
very detailed and best review..thanks
+Fazil Ibrahim Thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
god i want one now. i love ths steering wheel
I have a 2010 XLS Luv it!
I have a 2006 Limited and this 2012 has some great upgrades with the radio. Otherwise, it’s exactly the same as mine.
Great review. I've got an '09 and I love it. I've driven it to Texas and New York with zero problems. Normal maintenance and that's been it. Great car for tall drivers. I'd be curious to hear from owners who have had this body style and the newer body style. I'd like a '12 for my next one....if I ever need it.
Now this truly is a car review love this guy funny and informational fella
I have a mint green xls 2,07 looking like new beautiful no scratches or rust Love the way it rides on a highway feels very comfortable and classy car everyone looks at it and admire it they can’t believe that it looks like new it have 126 mileage and I’m the second owner 😬 and Engine is like new soooo happy with it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 they have my same car on TH-cam in mint green I just couldn’t believe it 😬 just put 2,07 Avalon on TH-cam
ive owned 40 cars in my life time 7 of my best cars were toyotas
Great review the best since the car came out, but i would love if u discussed the maintenance tab more cause it’s a little bit confusing to me. Good review though.
Every 50 000 km do a partial transmission fluid change. Every 100k flush the coolant, power steering and brake fluid and service the calipers/change the spark plugs. As the car gets older, start doing oil changes more frequently with a high quality synthetic, and that's about it for regular maintenance.
You are so funny. That is Fantastic ❤️❤️
I will have that hopefully by the end of this year or mid year next year
Great job Brock! As Always....
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I was looking for an Avalon and was sad to see that this is the last one before the design update. This has to be the only time I’ve said that the new designs are blatantly uglier that the older one. These 2012 is the newest Avalon I’d be willing to buy.
The 2012 Avalon limited was my first Avalon. I've had a '14; '16; and now a 2018 limited. The 2012 was the best out of the four. I do not like the 2019 so I guess that is it for me. All good things come to an end! Thank you for a great review on the 2012 limited.
I love how you have been able to experience all those years of Toyota greatness! I am also super grateful that a Toyota aficionado enjoyed my video - truly means a lot!
‘13-15 was definitely a sore point in the Avalon’s life thanks to the harsh ride. Did you notice an improvement with the ‘16 model?
@@thecarelectronicguy687 yes I noticed the difference in ride... I have a 13 Toyota Avalon hybrid Limited... The ride is a little too harsh for me so I went to the dealership and got shocks and struts for a 16 model year... it's roughly $1,800 with alignment out the door sure beats trading in for a softer ride 2012 Avalon
just now seen this video realized your 25 minutes away. wish you still had it sure is a beautiful car ;)
WOW! I wish I could have a LOAD of these! Amazing car!
My friend 2008 sunk in rainwater till the hood in 2010 . Overhaul the machine. still working till now. Amazing car
WOW! The water resistant version!
5w30 does not mean every 5 thousand miles, the manual says when.
Proud owner of a 2011 myself.
Same here bro
I have the limited as well with JBL system. But it doesnt have the keyless entry or push start. And a couple other features. I thought I had the highest trim. Maybe not?
Perfect car
Nice car!
12:22 Power rear window shade sold the car for me. They should have led with that feature. The top end model comes with a stowaway juicer that is housed in the trunk. It's perfect for tailgating in Green Communities.
Stowaway juicer? LOL!
I have no idea why you would want to anything with your Avalon.... yup I totally agree
I been debating between the Camry, Avalon,or the Honda accord V6. I'm really liking the Avalon but sad it doesn't come with a manual transmission option
I've owned a 2007 Avalon xls...been thinking of trading up for a 2012 it's just hard to let go...my 2007 has 105000 miles an still runs flawless..Toyota is a gift an a curse it's so darn hard to move on lol
ah let it go it just a piece of recycled stuff made into a car.BTW i have 2008
I'm driving 2015 Avalon XLE Premium
It's perfect quiet
leave it to toyota to think about having 2 cup holders in the drunk
Love our 2013 Avalon XLE.
That's the year they messed up the ride by making it harder and lost a ton of customers for it. But glad you like yours. Still..test drive a 2012 or older and see how much softer the ride is..if you like a soft ride that is.
Great review
Thank you so much and thank you for stopping by!
Brock
thats the exact car i just bought.. greenish silver color and its an 11 withall the options you just went over..did they not change it at all? I love it tho.. always wanted 1 the 11 is my fav
36.9 inch turning radius? Nice!
Fak
Hi brock. Thanks. 🤗
You are most welcome, my friend! Thank you for stopping by my channel!
Wow, several changes between the 12 and 13 but then I have the touring and not the limited. Leased a 13 but decided to buy it since it only has 11,000 miles. Didn’t think I’d return to the sandbox and wanted a car as close to the Lexus LS 460 and for a daily driver. Came back over within 6 months. But just purchased a 2014 LS460 and not sure what I’ll do with the Avalon. Avalon for daily driver, LS for trips? Both have under 12k on the clock and are fantastic machines.
what is the difference between the 2012 Toyota Avalon Base and Limited please?
Love those BBW cars lmao. So much more to love 😍😍😍😍😍😍
What are your thoughts on the 2012 models vs. the next generation 2013 and up? Anyone?
Why did the horsepower rating change from 280-268? Premium gas make a difference?
Hi Brock sir I love all your videos. Your enthusiasm for what you sell is inspiring. And I wish more sales people were like you. I have a question sir which one would you buy a 2007 Lexus es350 base with 85k or 2006 toyota Avalon limited with 76k thank you for your time sir.
i would go with avalon limited less miles plus you get navigation there isnt much difference between es350 and avalon limited only a monogram.
Does it come with 4 wheels and windows?
Can you tell me if the turn signal control arm and the windshield wiper control arm aluminate at night when you cut the headlights on thank you mine does not
👍
Is the handling better then the newer ones
I was looking heavily at Nissan Maxima 3.5 sv but I know for a fact I don’t even need all the sporty gadgets...I need this Toyota Avalon in my life.
I have the 2006 Toyota Avalon my husband wants me to upgrade the first I didn't want to announcing the 2012 Toyota Avalon I think I'm ready it has everything that I want so how can I get in touch with you
Seen these get 250 k miles easy .
That's a very good example of a great family car, great engine and gear box.
I think this car and Toyota Aurion are kinda same. I had experience with Aurion.
By the way, you look pretty good with the beard...
I love the engine and tranny too! Goes on very smoothly for a very long time! Thank you for noticing the beard. It's getting pretty itchy!
I believe the Aurion is the equivalent to the Camry but the Aurion looks a little more upscale than the camry does. I like it!
Where can I find out about 280hp
Toyota dealership
Right I’m still searching years later🤔😂
What is the difference between a limited. And a best limited. Is there a difference or not, or is the car just a Avalon Limited
They only came in regular or limited. And limited was the best version and had extra features like ventilated seats.
Its getting humid over there ha come to florida
WHEW! I would MELT in Florida! I have taken my family to Sanibel Island a couple of times. Love that place!
Jack Destefano I'm in Central FL and it's brutal
How much would it cost me if I wanna buy one of this in 2019
Cupholders in the trunk??
Does the JBL sound system have a subwoofer?
My solara has the Jbl system and the bass is phenomenal there is a subwoofer somewhere in the car im assuming, there has to be.
hmmm..maint. schedule on my avalon says change oil every 10,000 miles
So from an interior cabin perspective, isn't the 2012 Avalon more similar to say a 2004 LS430?
Realize it is a more cushy ride than ES350, as the ES350 is tuned more for performance. A used 2011 Camry XLE is going for the same price if not more than 2012 Avalons. Odd.
love this gen Avalon....the new one not so much
Me Too!!! They are big, comfortable and SUPER reliable! Thanks for stopping by!
Brock
HowToCarGuy hey if the key fob died....& its pushbutton start how would you start it?
Excellent Question! Hold the key fob close to the start button - place foot on brake and press the start button. There should be enough residual power remaining in the key fob battery to start it several times. Thank you for the question!
HowToCarGuy thank you Brock☺
Anytime, my friend!
So if these are so great then why is a used one cheaper than a Camry with same miles and year? I mean didn't these cost about $10k more than the Camry when new?
Camrys are more popular therefore there is more demand for them, therefore they can sell for more. You have to remember that most people consider these grandpa cars.. You get more bang for your buck with one of these.
How much for this car?
Fantastic handle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ned Flanders does car videos? Oakily Doakily then.
It's a 6 speed automatic The horsepower is to 268
The HP discrepancy was to get around US Govt regulations..
Anyone own one of these??? Are the brakes "mushy" as some people say?? And hows reliability?? I heard the defroster sucks... Any truth to this? Thanks in advance
7brandonc yea man I have a 2007 XLS with 157K miles and the brake peddle is mushy. Like you would have to literally step on it 5-10 seconds before anyone or the red light. @ 151k miles I even replaced the brake booster and master cylinder & it’s still feels mushy.
Nothing suck in this car i own the same one same color its the closest thing to lexus es 350 same engine same transmission. Drives great people always complain buy with confidence.
Kurde lea 😆
Still in my country expensive new models price very close if has a new body price 30,000 dollars USA and new model 2020 31,000 dollars USA
05 Avalon is 280 but 06 to 18 268
Looking to buy another car, what websites do you recommend? I've been looking at Cargurus.com and Autotrader.com
You have picked the two that I would use. AutoTrader.com is a very reputable site.
How come 280 hp i thought it was 266 hp
They did that to get around Govt regulations. But shhhh don't tell anyone..lol.
*The windshield wipers completely fail and make a farting noise...
"Oh... that is soooo nice! Did you hear those fantastic wipers?? Oh I wonder if these need to be replaced..."
* Farting noise
"Mmmm... that is fantastic...."
LOL....
I'm glad you get my humor
I bet yall Avalon loves that it does not rid better and have more room then my 1996 Buick Roadmaster limited and min can tow up 7,000 pounds just say but just like the Guy sayed y would I want too
Simulated wood? WHAT! Are you sure. if so that's a deal breaker. I'll go with a lexis.
Very good review though.
This or the lexus ls430?
LS430 all the way.
@@HowToCarGuy why? I'm trying to decide. Can you provide some insight please? Thanks
This or the lexus gs430?
