I was 78 on Nov 3rd. This ismy first Avalon. It is a 2012 zephyr blue limited.

 

I'm 32 and have a 2006 limited with the southeast package (body kit). Repainted the car black opal (lexus hybrid color option). 22" rims. I bought the car in 2007 when I was 27.

 

Any pics? I just picked up an 06 limited edition and was wondering what any custom built ones looked like.

I'll be 51 in January. Purchased my 1st 05 Limited 4 years ago.

 

Purchased a 1996 XLS in 2000 at 28, then my 2011 Limited this February at 39.

 

30, had it since Nov 09.

 

54 until January 8. Bought my first Toyota ever last December. 2011 Limited in Magnetic Gray Metallic.

 

in 2010 at 22 bought a 06 avalon, at 24 08 avalon and currently at 25 i have a 08 infiniti m35x...miss that boat tho

 

I was 16 when I first drove it. It was not officially mine, but unofficially it was mine since no one else in my family drove it.

 

At age 56 - Bought my first Avalon (used) from a friend - 1995 white XLS

At age 65 - Bought my 2nd Avalon (used) - 2005 black Limited

At age 67 - Bought my 3rd Avalon (new) - 2011 white Limited

And currently I am 68.

Avalons have been good to me.

I voted on the poll ..... :clap:

although it may be a meaningless vote there ..... the only vote that counts is SALES figures.

I don't need a new car. My 09CamryV6 with 51K miles runs flawless ... but should I NEED a new car due to accident someone else caused (happenned twice before) or if I take a test drive and happen to LOVE IT and just have to have one ...... I will buy the 2013 Avalon

My Gen 1 Avalon has lasted FOREVER .... still going strong at 250,000 miles after selling to a friend !!!!!!!!!

2013 Avalon appears really more Lexus than Camry.

All I ask is that there be a base XLE out there for me at the $31K MSRP per press release. Most XLEV6 Camrys out there are going for MSRP $33,000.

I would pay extra NOT to have a sunroof. I never once opened mine on by Gen1 Avalon. They lower the height for the driver & are the #1 cause of rattles.

Navigation ...... entune ....... WASTE. Anyone ever heard of mapquest or TomTom ???????? I don't need NAV cause I know how to read a map ....... and I always know where I am going.

Oops ....... showing my age ....... 64. Retired at 55 and still loving it here in Florida. Member of AAA for the first time in my life due to long road trips taken & planned ... and better insurance rates.

The grille is FUGLY in the pictures .......... but I hope it wouldn't get me down.

 

59. I've had my '07 for five years.

 

I'm 24, so I guess pretty young compared to most Avalon owners.

 

I was once your age. 30 years ago. :bouncinggirl:

 

It was so long ago I don't remember.

I'm 57 and have a 2002 Avalon... Will be buying the 2013 as soon as it is available. The 2002 will be recycled to a family member.

 

So it is unofficial but there sure seem to be plenty of younger (under 68) folks who have purchased and are enjoying their Avalons.

Bought an 07 Touring for my wife 5 years ago; she was 30 and I was 35. Getting the 2013 Hybrid in January.

 

Hybrid vs Gas?



Hybrid - Gas

I'm having a tough time with this one.

Gas - what are the benefits?
- Quicker
- Less cost for maintenance
- Tried and tested
- and quicker

Hybrid (which some testers only got 27.3 MPG on their test drive)
- MPG
- Quieter
- Cost of ownership?

I put on the mileage that say's the Hybrid will pay for itself in the first two years, but …

And not that money isn't an issue, but a trip to Florida (I do a few times a year), will be about $75.00 per trip with the Hybrid based on 39 MPG, but if you get anywhere near the 27.3 they got on the test drive, then there isn't any savings at all, at which point, why get the Hybrid.

It's a safe bet, that the car will get closer to the 40 MPG it's rated at, but is that with a heavy foot> Of course highway driving a heavy foot may not matter, but it would be interesting to see what the car gets at 75 - 85 MPH, which is what I drive most of the time. YES I know the gas model doesn't get the 29 - 30 MPG at those higher speeds either.

I guess I just have to wait and drive the Hybrid to see how I feel about it. But if it's noticeably slower and not as fast when passing, the gas milage would have to be nearer the 40 MPG for me to get it.

32 Now, Bought My 2009 Limited in 2009 when i was 29.

 

Very nice. So what did the DVD units set you back if I may ask?

Well, I inherited a 30k '98 XL from my grandma, after a factory spoiler, a sub, new deck and smoked lights, I'd buy this car before most used that I've seen. I'm 19 haha I have my eyes on a 93 supra though. In any case this avalon is always a sensible car. It's got more power than a civic and more class than an impressa (I spelled that on purpose, all show if you can't drive) as far as cars I've seen my demographic drive, this car takes it for me.
