I bought a 2007 Avalon XLE with about 280000 miles for $2500 in 2021. Was my very first car and I crashed it in about 2 months. Still miss that car, it was built like a tank and cannot find that kind of luxury at that price point.
I'm finding that a lot of elderly people loved these older Avalons. Lots of AMAZING deals out there. 1 owner, very low mileage Avalons are easily found and they are some of THE best cars ever made.
I own a 2007 Avalon and have for the last 3 years. I love the car, even at 235,000 miles it still rides like it’s new. One thing that was not mentioned in the video is that the rear seats recline! They don’t go back much but it’s enough to make it a much more comfortable ride.
To solve this issue i got a 235/45/18 instead of the 215/55/17 just too skinny for a fwd 3700lb car. Mine is a 2011 but still on rainy conditions i will still spin even at 40mph 🫠
They stopped making them I think in 2007 for this generation Avalon, but if you can find a clean "touring" they had a better suspension than the xls or limited. They didn't get ventilated or "cooled" seats like the limited, but people actually complained about the limited seats on long drive because they were less comfortable to accommodate the ventilation feature.

I am not a huge Toyota fan, but this is by far my favorite sedan of all time by them other than the old school Supra, simply because yes it’s definitely nicer than the Camry and Corolla for sure, and even though yes it screams more Lexus, I always thought of the Avalon like the Accord with more luxury and power, and modern day Mazda backed by Toyota, and downscale Genesis as well, since Kia and Hyundai basically copied Toyota initially and lesser extent of Honda, but it’s sad this car is now gone, because this is the only Toyota car I would buy, besides the old school Tundra and Tacoma, since I loathed the newer Supra since it’s just a BMW! 😳
@@DMCarReviews Yes I agree the Avalon is nice and I’m not saying the newer Supra is bad looking I just wish Toyota would have recreated it, BMW mostly did the work that’s why I’m saying that! 🤔
these cars are inmortal, they just keep going and going, specially that V6
Yes!

Try the Volvo XC70 2005-2007. Amazing ride too!
In my country 2007 Avalon in good condition is somewhere around $16k with an average salary of $700 🫡
@@DMCarReviews pre-China Volvo was good. EVs aren’t the issue, the maker is.
You are a sad cat
I think about get this car for my first car in next year

Very true!
Dont tell anyone.
these avalons are so plush. man do i love recession luxury vehicles
They are great!
I had one of these a while back, best daily driver I've ever had, the motor is so quite and smooth
They are great!

I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing.
hey man also make sure you have your headlights on whenever it's raining for visibility purposes for other drivers! :)
You're right! I think this one had DRL's though?
@@DMCarReviewsyeah but when raining u need the rear tail light on, so ppl behind u can see u. So that’s why u need headlights on
I used to own a 2006 Toyota Avalon limited one of the best cars I ever owned
Try to review a 2009 Audi S5 V8 maybe….
Already have!

I have a 1999 toyota camry and I will think about buying one
Looks like your Avalon might need alignment. The steering wheel looks out of whack. Other than that it looks great and I know they’re good cars.
It does...
My 2007 Avalon has great breaking !!!
You should review the same gen when it’s dry out and better conditions, would love to see it
It's hard to find one

You might get away with 245 in the front, I know they’re different cars but I was able to add them on my 07 Honda accord v6 with 18 inch rims as well
Really sucks they discontinued this car in 2022, SUVs are taking over and sedans are slowly being fazed out
Yeah, it's sad they don't have it anymore. I think the Crown is the successor.

Touring no, i want a nice soft ride.
I own a 08 Avalon XL (or XLS, I forget) and the interior on this is wayyyy nicer.
Awsome, I love old car reviews! And I love Lexus, unfortunately Lexus is extremely rare where I live.
Thank you for watching!

That's not the actual 0-60. You should test it when the road is dry. Good video ;)
Thank you! I wish it was dry road.
Damn this reminds me of the 03 ls430 I had
Couldn’t focus on anything other than the steering wheel being tilted but good video…probably.
Nice avy.... Anyone with good sense would appreciate this old beauty laying around. And you panicked in the back seat a little bit 😊
Why would I panic? :)
Mine brakes very well any urs hav a some issues

Which one drive is better Avalon or ls400 Regardless of the category and model
LS400 is more plush and comfortable, but the Avalon is more nimble.

The steering wheel is sort of crooked, but I get it.
How is the gas mileage on these? looking into getting one
Not bad at all! Mid 20s.
How long a full tank of gas would last you?
@@emanuelbyrd5701 400 miles or so
How did you install maps in there?
It came like that from the factory.
@@DMCarReviews oh. I would like to install maps, but i'm not sure how to do that. Please do let me know if you have any idea or suggestions. Thanks
@@kyubi-tv2bq You probably should do a retrofit.
I’m glad the weather was bad, I’m tired of people speeding even illegally just to make a UA-cam video.
