    I’m 30 have a 2015 Avalon and will be getting the 2019 Avalon. You have to drive this car it’s very surprisingly fun. I love my car!!

    I would buy an Avalon over any German car any day. European vehicles are nothing but disposable luxury, that's why I bought a Lexus

    @oldschool1928 6 років тому +27

    This car hits the segment of middle aged Gen X'ers with aging parents who don't have the ability to step high into tall Crossovers/SUV's. This is a roomy cruiser with personality. Low slung and wide, good for long trips.

    As a current Avalon owner, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the 2019. If I didn't drive so many miles, I'd probably lease a nicer driving and looking German vehicle. For now, its trusty old Toyota. Worry-free crank'n'go for the next 10-15 years.

    • @LlyleHunter
      @LlyleHunter 6 років тому +9

      Believe me I've been there and you don't want a German car unless you want to lose your ability to buy anything else because of opportunity cost. One year my Benz cost thirty thousand dollars in maintainence and repairs after having eaten through twenty four thousand that it cost to operate the year before. Needless to say that it was my last luxury car but if I purchase another luxury car it will be a Lexus. Toyota is the most reliable manufacturer and in my mind a luxury item should be built to last. I was constantly repairing the Benz.

    • @RiseUp919
      @RiseUp919 6 років тому +6

      Yeah the only way I'd drive a German car is via lease where everything is covered under the manufacturers warranty. I'd NEVER purchase one.

      @mikecopros79 6 років тому +5

      Couldn't agree with you more. I myself own a 2014 Avalon with XSP sport package and couldn't be happier. Bought the car used about 15 mths ago and boy has this car been great overall. In terms of reliability, no other car comes close. In terms of maintenance costs, very low... Ex: regular maintenance cost me less than $70 while a Lexus ES would cost close to $200 for the same service... and German cars, well... if you are out of the warranty and service package, could cost north of $300... When the time is right I will definitely go for this new Avalon model.

  • @rickfrank7934
    @rickfrank7934 6 років тому +34

    This new Avalon is amazing! It is finally a well rounded car! Im 24 and would buy this over any other sedan in a heartbeat! A 5 series sounds really nice but we know what happens when those warranties go bye bye. BMW parts in N. America are NOT cheap.

    I was in the market for a luxury sedan and this Avalon , which I bought offered a pronounced value position. I shopped it against four cylinder Volvo S90, E300,G80 - the exception here and an Accord Touring. The value , technology, V6 engine, real transmission and safety sealed the deal. The ride is pure luxury and refinement. Cabin is Lexus hush. The interior is refined but not too upscale to have concerns with having family with fast food on a long road trip.

  • @ging3y
    @ging3y 6 років тому +2

    I’m 30 years old and currently have a 2013 Avalon Limited. I’d definitely keep the new Touring or Limited on my radar for when I look into replacing my vehicle. Definitely works for younger folks.

  • @stevewise1656
    @stevewise1656 6 років тому +7

    Toyota and Lexus need to offer all wheel drive versions if they want to create more room between this new Avalon and the ES, especially in snowy regions. Genesis offers all-wheel drive sedans since you mentioned the G80, along with all other luxury or near luxury brands (Acura, Infiniti), so I would spend more for all-wheel drive where within my region of the U.S..
    Also, the Lexus ES doesn’t offer all-wheel drive and I imagine they would sell even more ES versions if they offered an all-wheel drive package for an extra two to three grand.
    Not sure at all younger buyers would purchase an Avalon. There’s going to be the grandpa car stigma for quite a while.
    Now, they’ve significantly improved the car all the way around and Toyota is known for reliability and that alone may swing some middle aged folks under 60 to buy an Avalon. In addition, Toyota maintains car values extremely well and that’s important to smart car buyers.

    I bought my Avalon Hybrid SXE before they were readily available. Never thought I'd buy a 4 door car. Have had 2 TBirds, 2 Solaras, 3 Buick Regals, 1 Infiniti and one or two other two door cars. Always sporty, fast automobiles. When I saw the 2019 Avalon Hybrid SXE, I fell in love with it. So sporty looking, 3 drives to choose from - normal, economy and sport (has the flappers on the steering wheel, too). My daughter was afraid it would be too slow for me and I would not like the 4 doors. HOWEVER, I absolutely love this automobile. It has only 4 cylinders, but it will really take off as fast as any other automobile I've had. It is so-o-o quiet, too. Love the grill - classy - although some people turn their nose up at it. There is nothing I do not like about this car. I would have preferred red like my last Solara but love the navy blue (Parisian Pearl), although it does need frequent washing to look its best. Do not get the 43 mpg, but do get 37 mpg, and it uses regular gas, so it's lot better than my recent Infinity X60, which used premium and got only 20 mpg. This will probably be my last car, as I am a senior citizen, but I'm sure my grandkids will be standing in line for my Avalon when I depart this world - hopefully not for another 10 years or so.

    I love that it kept the smooth V6 instead of going to a four cylinder turbo, and it had a 8 speed transmission, instead of those crappy CVT. I love the interior of the Limited but like the exterior of the Touring more. If only, Toyota would let us get both in one package.

    I’ve never owned nor driven a Buick in my life and after test driving luxury brands, I decided to buy the red 2019 Avalon Touring. The Avalon is a Lexus ES wrapped in a Toyota wrapper/badging. I’m sure as heck not comparing this to a M5, though it’s comfortable, quiet and the 301hp is fine. Who compares this to an AMG or Ferrari.

      And Chevy got rid of the one thing that people respected them for - the Corvette. Sure - it's still around but it's not a Chevrolet any more. Didn't they hear about synergy effects? In Europe they renamed tiny Daewoos to Chevrolet effectivly killing any status of the brand, instead of perhaps calling it Saturn or something.
      So no - USA brand managment has no logic. What makes it funny is when Bob Lutz opens his cakehole and rants about how other companies should be run.

    I would choose an Avalon, I am a student in college and the avalon fits all of my needs. I k ow it has the old man reputation but with this need design and style I agree it sure is appealing to a younger crowd. I am a die Hard toyota guy. But if i had to choose a car it would most likely be this avalon or his more premium cousin the 2019 ES 350 F Sport. I like power in a car but I think too much power for what you need is not good.

    As for considering an Avalon over a Lexus (or Infiniti, Buick or possibly an A6), absolutely. You know reliability will not be an issue and its a fresh design. As for Ford & Chevy discontinuing TWO well known name plates tells me they are throwing in the towel for mid/full size cars. There will always be a demand for the category. I feel Ford & Chevy (GM) have been slowly returning to pre-2008 mentality and becoming more reactive vs proactive (and therefore throwing in the towel) when it comes to the "family" segment of automobiles.

    I know the 5 series or Eclass will be more powerful and and more capably handling wise than a Avalon. Also the German Brand will have more of a luxury 'punch' to them and awe factor. But on overall long term reliability the Avalon would be a more preferable choice. if i were looking to go with something practical and less complicated on the long run; the Avalon would be my choice

  • @user_ww

    Well, I currently drive an older S class. I have opened my mind to checking out all large sedan offerings. My initial choice was a 3 year old S class = ~$60k. I love the solitude of the cabin and the plush ride. However, repairs are costly and depreciation is bad. This Toyota is a good size, affordable, hopefully reliable and if things do break - not a big deal to replace. I still want to check out Lexus and Jaguar.

    The Avalon is very nice. They need the rear side window shades. I don’t need the panoramic sunroof. I have one in my car, though it’s rarely used. The interior is much more useful than the 2019 ES350, plus the engines have the exact same horsepower.

  • @DrFrankLondon
    @DrFrankLondon 6 років тому

    As far as I am aware this car will not come to Europe, the Camry was binned in Europe years ago, but I am not shedding a tear. As long as we have a V8 naturally aspirated Lexus coupe which looks kind of a piece of origami. But anyway, I would still keep my 2018 Audi RS saloon as it has a fantastic throttle response, the 5 cylinder turbocharged engine linked to a sports exhaust, sounds fantastic, it quicker than the Lexus, it is cheaper, but where it looses to the Lexus, is in steering, the Lexus with rear wheel drive has almost no under steer, whilst the Audi is set up with under steer as a security feature it seems, due to its Quattro system. And even though the Toyota Avalon and Lexus have great designed interiors and lots of tech as standard plus fantastic reliability, I would take the Audi any day of the week. I know the Lexus and the Toyota should be compared to the A5 & A6 in size, but all these cars have become so heavy so I chose the 400bhp RS3, as it can almost do the same as any of the other cars, except boot space and rear passenger space.

I’m not willing to say that the Avalon is all together unattractive, but the BMWs and the new Stinger look SO much better, and then there is the issue of driving dynamics... you know all to well the Avalon is not all that competitive against the others in those terms. It still seems like a car my 65 year old parents would drive, not for the younger crowd.

    Yes I would for the price difference of the car verses the premium brand size segment. The only issue is the nameplate pride.

    They add a panoramic roof like the Camry V6 and AWD on the Avalon V6, then I could see this car outselling Camrys and highly competing with the Lexus ES350

    Yes I would definitely consider a Toyota Avalon among all luxury cars cuz I used to own a hand me down Avalon and it was awesome. The Avalon is my first dream luxury car to own in my mid twenties rn. No jk and no lol for I’m not into EU vehicles that looks nice especially when their reliability sucks vs Japanese ones.

    I am 22 and I myself am seriously considering the Avalon. I was looking at '14 CLA45's, C400s for a while now but this new Avalon really has me wondering whether the performance is worth it or not. The car looks sporty and sharp, the interior looks awesome, I'm sure its much cheaper maintenance wise as well.. The only thing really keeping me from going with the Avalon though is the performance. I understand handling is great but I would be happier with more power and maybe even AWD (assuming its FWD). It's fast but it isn't quite modern day sports sedan fast..

    Didn't groove on the new 2019 styling and that big arse grill, so went with the 2018 Avalon Limited Hybrid in Blizzard Pearl (Thanks, Lexus!)... Love it! New to sedans after decades in pickups. Sold my 2012 Tundra Rock Warrior DC for the Avalon? Yep! And my wallet at the gas pump thanks me too...

    Any help for me picking an Avalon Touring vs an Accord 2 liter turbo touring?

    • @11Hammers
      @11Hammers 6 років тому +2

      I'm looking at both. Avalon is roomier. Has a softer ride. But you get a V6 and not a four cylinder turbo. If you are buying, I'd go for the Avalon. Plus I'm not sure I like the push-button shift mechanism in the 2.0t.

    • @05Forenza
      @05Forenza 6 років тому

      I live at altitude, so the Accord would be quite a bit faster due to the turbo (air density). Both are great cars, both should last forever.

    • @tjsullivan4793
      @tjsullivan4793 6 років тому

      You make a really good point. I also live at 5700ft so the Accords turbo might make more sense for performance.

  • @jsasu.3

    For the price that I paid for my M535i....I would absolutely love to save $20000. If that Avalon only had a TURBO! I recently got to sit in one (Avalon) and it was good. Did the sit behind myself test and it passed. Very nice car that Avalon.....maybe if they turbo it I would look harder.

    Wow! That’s a shame that Chevy is getting rid of the impala! My grandma still has her 1969 Chevrolet Impala that her parents gave to her when she turned 30. The thing is still in mint condition and she only drives it every now and then considering she’s 72 years old. However, my first car was a Ford Taurus and it sucks that their discontinuing that as well! I also feel bad that with trucks getting more upscale, people who held off in buying trucks because they lacked the creature comforts that sedans have are now buying trucks as well. Ironically my dad had 2012 Buick LaCrosse, and with the new ram that came out, my dad will be trading that in for the new Laramie crew cab. Also, focusing back on the Toyota Avalon, I wish that this car had a digitize dash along with that swooping center console!

    This has that looks I could see young thugs pasting 22s on and rollin thru the hood just as much as grandma goin to see her grandchidren in.. theyve really hit the mark enticing a broader audience and as long as you dont require track-like handling then one would be hard pressed to find a better car for money - but as with anything, it is the image some people get stuck on and for those people they deserve to pay more and get less if thats what matters more to them.

      the Lacross has a very nice look to it... more subtle but with presence. That would be a good comparison.. the Kia Cadenza, Toyota Avalon, base model G80 and LaCrosse

    Don’t know why you have a mixed bag about the Avalon it is nice as hell..this is the car Toyota made the mistake with,never mind the peer group of sales / reviewers who copy cat the jargon directed at this car… I’d take it over the priced out Lexus and the maxima cvt or the problematic Hyundai and bmw..

    All the people I know lease German cars, they don't but them, they are outrageously expensive to repair and joyfully hand the keys back to the dealer at the end of the lease before the warranty expires. People who buy their cars buy Toyota's because they are 10 times more reliable than any German car, and when they do have issues cost a fraction of their German counterparts for repairs. The last point is there are no autobahn's in America to take advantage of a German cars strengths, instead we have lousy streets with potholes and a Japanese car is much more at home driving under these conditions.

    Avalon Limited 2017 is a powerful car and i drive it hard and i bought it new. I changed out the crap tires that Toyota loves to put on and tinted out the windows. I like the size of the interior and it has a very large trunk. I do not like the 2019. Yes i did look at a lexus, a genesis and an audi. An Avalon is a car that is not a heat score and it goes. Get your finger on the pulse old man. I am young. Avalon is a vehicle made on it’s own assembly line . A lexus ES 350 is made on the same assembly line as a Camry with some extras and a lexus sticker. Avalon has a good safety rating so my insurance is manageable as well. It was a no brainer for me. The sound system is very good. I buy what i think is good not trendy.

    I really like the car on the inside and enjoyed driving it around the city. But that front end is butt ugly. Which has me leaning towards the Lexus ES which seemed even quieter to me... p.s. If you drove in the hot Florida sun and parked in an open parking lot, a panoramic sunroof is that last thing you'd want.
