My aunt has owned nothing but a Toyota Avalon since they came out. She had a 98, 01, 06, 12' and now has a 18'. I asked her what her next car was gonna be since they discontinued them and she was like "Well, I guess I'll either finally get a Lexus or this Avalon will be my last car." She's 72 now.

I own a 2012 Limited Avalon. I have been driving it for over 5 years and I LOVE IT !! The best car I have ever owned. There is only one thing about it I don't understand....For a luxury car like this Toyota did not make provision for securing your belongings in a valet situation? There is just no way to hand your vehicle over to a Valet without giving him/her full access to the whole car. I use to own a 1994 Acura Legend and I could lock my things in the glove box and/or the trunk, give the valet the "valet" key and my private property remained private. That's the way it should be with a luxury car. At times I miss that feature.

@@BernonCars I agree with everything you had to say about the car. Mine was purchased second hand as a winter car. Drove it 6 years. It had 230,000 kms when I sold it. We needed something smaller and more fuel efficient for city driving - replaced it with a Prius C. Not as comfy, powerful, luxurious or smooth as the Av … but it’s crazily fuel efficient and better suited to our current needs.

I totally agree with you BUT your friend got taken for a ride . Yes it had low miles when he bought it But still the car is over 10 years old. At the price that he paid for it they could have at least gave him 4 brand new tires And some other little extras. Only good thing about this deal was it wasn't a CVT transmission And the engine is second to none. I think if he kept it for 5 years he could turn around and sell it for at least $10,000 provided that the mileage is very attractive to a buyer.

It’s the new balance dad shoes of cars. It looks like a reliable, humble, predictable, boring, comfortable car. If the crown Victoria was Japanese. This gen is the best looking of all Avalon, this look didn’t last long so it’s kinda rare. Toyota were criticized for looking too conservative, now Toyotas look like what a boomer thinks young people like. People want to look flashy now, while boomers tend to want to hide their wealth. Only thing I wish it could do is fold rear seats to access the big trunk to fit bikes in. But it’s not a outdoor utility vehicle but a cruiser, probably the most comfortable car to ride across many states.

Well done review. A couple features that appear in the limited version that were not touched upon in this video are (1) a sport mode for shifting manually and (2) drivers seat leg support, which extends the depth of the seat from back to knees. If manipulated right, the sport mode can bring the 0 - 60 down to 6 seconds, and maybe into the upper 5 second range. The driver's seat extender is awesome for long drives, as it provides more thigh support - improving circulation. The Limited has both a telescoping and tilting steering wheel, although these are separate controls and both are mechanical rather than electronic. The 2011 - 2012 Avalon is a gem among cars, especially in terms of long-term reliability. I sort of hate that the secret is getting out, as I often think about getting a second one.

I love my 2010 Avalon Limited so much. I prefer the pre-facelift version because I love the clean look with the screen off and radio and map controls covered. I use my phone for maps and aux anyway. I definitely recommend getting one with the 6 speed (08-12). 09 was the year where VSC became standard which you definitely want in a car like this. If you absolutely can't live without a backup camera, you can get it on the 2011 model. For me, the parking sensors with blind spot mirrors work well with enough practice. I reverse park into nearly every parking space so getting out is way safer. The Limited is definitely worth it and the cooled seats actually work. I love the rear sunshade as well as the temp controls on the steering wheel. My Avalon is the perfect highway car that still takes regular gas. It's comfortable, quiet, smooth, and gets about 23-26 mpg. It revs super low most of the time (1k-2k RPM) but when you put your foot down to pass or speed up, the torque pulls strongly and it is surprisingly fast for the size and weight. It is definitely worth waiting around for a pristine example. If you do buy one, please replace the two piece lug nuts with the one piece lugs from Japan. The two piece ones from American-made Toyotas/Lexuses can have the outer lug cap swell and warp which makes the wheels difficult to get off in the event of a flat. Save yourself that nightmare by switching to the one piece lugs as soon as possible. It only cost me about $25 for a full set. As long as you keep the transmission fluid fresh, you should have no problem reaching 300k+ mies with basic maintenance. I've seen some in the 400k+ range. Hopefully this advice was helpful to some of you. Have a wonderful day.

@@user-zd3qt5un5t You should definitely drain and refill the transmission fluid. I did that shortly after I bought it even though it was done in 2020. I wanted to make sure everything was fresh. When I drained it, it was a darker color but not fully bad considering we did it early. I definitely would recommend doing it ASAP. I also changed the gasket on the transmission pan. You have to have it lifted but perfectly level, so I recommend driving up ramps and then jacking the back wheels up. Mine is the pre-refresh so I'm not sure if you have to do this but in order to remove some of the bolts on the pan, we had to jack part of the car up an inch or two and then put a socket to fill that gap. I don't remember exactly which part that was but I will edit this comment if I find it. I definitely recommend doing the gasket on top of the drain and fill. For future flushes, you can probably get away without a new gasket. My last car was a Nissan that died from CVT problems so I went the extra mile to make sure I wouldn't be in that position again. Good luck! I hope you enjoy the car.

IMO, the ultimate Avalon is the hybrid. It gets over 40mpg no matter where or how you drive it, but it's still dead solid reliable and incredibly comfortable. It's not fast, but honestly How fast can you actually drive in day to day traffic and commutes? The hybrid comes into it's element in that sort of driving too, it will still get 40+ even if you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, which torpedoes the MPG of anything else.

The 2011 and 2012 refreshed 3rd gen Avalon is the best looking and most comfortable of all the Avalons in my opinion. The only negative thing i can say is they should have kept the column shift/bench seat option which makes the car a true 6 passenger car. The center console takes up alot of room and i personally prefer the bench seat configuration myself. Also, this car in dark burgandy or the medium green is a true looker.

Avalons are great cars in terms of reliability and comfort. The only thing, they are often associated with "old geezer" owners. Earlier year models had a steering column stick shift.

Got a 2012 Avalon end of January. 43.6k miles when I first started looking in December was $17k. By time I finalized deal I got it for $13k. Now has $49k miles. I was a dealership girl and I’m new to Toyota. If anyone has info on maintenance or upgrades please send it my way.

I have the 2012 limited edition with 156000 miles on it and not one single problem. just keep the oil changed every 5k and enjoy it. the gen3 is the last of the luxury ride after 2012; things got smaller on the inside and a stiffer sportier ride. you just cant beat a gen3

a 2011 ANYTHING that isnt a rare performance or luxury vehicle shouldn't be over 20k. This definitely isn't worth that nor do they normally sell for that much. Shit you can find a 5th gen for under 30k if you look hard enough
