IS THIS THE BEST GENERATION TOYOTA AVALON? | 2005 Toyota Avalon Review

[@kanob6440]

The rear recline seats always impressed me because no other car had it, even today.

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

Definitely the coolest thing ever! Too bad more sedans don't have this feature nowadays

[@mrBILL-sr2cu]

There are thousands of us who treasure our Generation Three Avalons. Unless you have or have had one, you don't realize just how good these cars are. Through the years, no matter what cars I have sold or traded, I've kept, and will keep my 2008 Avalon Limited. I had much rather drive it over my 2021 Avalon XLE or my 2022 Avalon Limited!

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

I truly believe the late years gen 3 is thr best avalon ever made !

[@DeronMidge]

Just the kind of information I love hearing. I just bought an '08 Limited (1 owner) about 6 months ago for $7,100 which was wholesale with 125K miles. I think the car brand new was around $36,000, give or take Except for a few cosmetic dings, the car is in fantastic condition and super happy I was able to get a really nice car for way less than what it would have sold for on a car lot... Appreciate the info my friend! 🌟

I Once drove these car and I really love it I pray I have one 😢😢

[@bsu1960]

This Beauty is 19 years old and is in better shape than many new and definately most 5 year old cars it will perform as new and its body integrity and finish retains its youthful appearance defying its age very few 19 year old cars can compare at this price point new then or used now ❤

[@billyvision1360]

I have a 2005 Avalon bought new 19 years ago and LOVE IT!! The engine is amazing and reliable and very quiet! I have 268,000 miles on it and it still drives like I just bought it. Best car I’ve ever owned and I have 2 new cars but I rather drive my 19 year old Avalon.

[@1984Cece]

A question. Have you changed the transmission oil?

[@Zu_Zu07]

Bless me with one please 🥺😢

[@billyvision1360]

@@1984Cece I have never changed the transmission fluid only because it never occurred to me…and the transmission drives perfectly. At this point if it ain’t broke why fix it…would probably do more harm than good because the transmission is used to the fluid after all these years.

[@BryanChance]

that year avalon looks very stately....i love it

[@willpage79]

Some of them have real issue like timing cover leak..headgasket coolant leak..and a hose that burst and all the oil leak without notice

[@MikeBrownRehobothBeach]

Great car but not perfect, the dashboards cracking is a known issue and my AC condenser died at 110,000 miles. Other than that, it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

[@Zu_Zu07]

How much

[@jxmar_]

2011 was the refresh. They also took away the rain sensing wipers and 3 zone climate for the 5th gen. The 2011 looks even more like a Camry on the front.

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

Toyota loves to remove features and charge more for it huh 😆

[@beekaye1496]

My 2008 is still going strong with 300K miles. I do believe the next gen was a bit better especially with the suspension on it. Then the last gen is pretty good also except for the bad seats up front. Too short and not as comfortable for the long haul

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

300k? Nice! Yes I do agree that the 5th gen Avalon front seats are not the greatest. The back seats are better for some reason lol

[@JohnSmith-o2i]

How 'bout showing the Engine, and start it up?

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

I forgot to show the engine but I also didnt have the keys for this car

[@DeronMidge]

Note to self whenever you're doing a overview of the vehicle, bring the keys, please LMAO. JUST JOSHING, you have a really engaging voice and can tell for sure you would be pleasant to hang with or to buy from whatever I'm trying to say. Thanks for the video, much appreciated as I bought an 08 Limited about 6 months ago now and I'm really enjoying this car

[@rickymack2611]

Thing is I see tons of Avalons on the road but I have yet to see its replacement the Crown on the road

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

@rickymack2611 true. They've been out for about 2 years now and I've only ever seen around 5 my whole life lol

[@darbyheavey406]

Just bought an 2006 XL with 40K original miles…hope you are right.

[@ErvayAutoReviews]

Nice find! I'm sure it'll last you forever

[@billyvision1360]

@@darbyheavey406 at 40k miles it’s not even broken in. I have 270K miles on my 2005 and still drives like it did 20 years ago.

The more complexity they have, the more there is to go wrong (and it will go wrong). Leather interiors degrade quickly (crack and tear) in the Arizona sun and heat. Cloth interiors are far more durable. Avalon interiors seem to hold up much better than Lexus interiors.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

No not close best toyotas were mid 90s to 2006 or so.
