Please give me your input if you've driven it before. I don't want to go for a Camry or Corolla.

High cost of maintainance, expensive parts, body parts disintegrate after long usage, high fuel consumption (but a good luxury brand)...... Etc

Big lie biggest lie ever , parts of Corolla are much more expensive than Avalon, it’s only the fuel economy that Corolla have against Avalon , example I bought my Avalon wheel hub both sides for 20k I then purposely priced the 2005 Corolla own and was told 45k last price

Which lie? That it's a luxury brand or the fuel consumption is high or the parts r expensive?

I presently use Avalon. Parts are not expensive to me and easy to fix like any other Toyota. I enjoy the ride and very reliable. It has never disappointed me for 4 years (still counting).

Fuel consumption: What do you think of a V6?

What about fuel consumption? Is it as bad as people say?

Sure one does not expect the fuel consumption to be the same as that of Corolla but is the fuel consumption too much? Or is it that people are over exaggerating the whole thing because they are used to driving a corolla?

it’s a v6 engine, consumes like any other good v6 out there , it’s not that bad as people say

The fuel consumption is very okay for a V6. I have no problem with it at all.

Be gentle on the throttle , dont press too hard, while driving in congested traffic switch off the AC, do this and you can get something close to Corolla fuel usage,



If you don't, then you will see the true colour of V6 fuel guzzling and it is not nice for a fuel consumption sensitive user

This is a 3.5 V6, it's a beast on d road. Let's tell him d truth. The car isn't friendly on fuel. If I lie, Google it. The fuel consumption can never n will never b close to ta camry 4 cylinder 2.4 not to talk of v6 3. 0,Avalon is a luxury ride. Very long and loaded

Luxury ride indeed
Something wey dey weightless when e reach 120km/hr

God forbid
Peugeot 206 is more stable than that Japanese car at high speed

Car is too wide. Only reason I don’t like it. It’s also a low car.

this isn’t true for most Japanese cars. Abi you Dey mistake Avalon for Kia Rio?

Avalon is a luxury car. And it has this classic look than a regular Camry or Corolla. I like it because it's better design. The only problem is that it's not that common and the people don't drive it that much.

Avalon is almost equivalent to Lexus E350 . It is a full sized car bigger and t little thirstier than a V6 Camry .
Nigerians pay for Toyota reliability first and fuel economy second

Any Toyota that gets under 23mpg is not a favorite of the Nigerian market..

You still don't understand driving dynamics. You have a long way to go.

FYI, the formula 1 car is lighter than the engine and transmission in the Avalon yet it will pull G's the 206 can only dream of.

It's not about weight.

Additionally, the Avalon is a cruiser and not a sports car.

OP, buy the Avalon if you like it.

For MPG, expect around 14mpg in town and about 23mpg on the highway if driven gently.

For maintenance, it's on par with V6 Camry.

Avoid fender benders with other motorists, it doesn't buff out as well as other cars unless you are willing to buy replacement body parts.

.... Have travelled in both cars and the feeling was different

Avalon is way heavier than the Peugeot 206... And felt as if it was flying at 120kmhr..

While the little Peugeot was sturdy and comfortable
Keep hyping rubbish...
Typically Toyota worshippers
Now no be luxury car na cruiser

Who the hell talked about MPg here

Isn't the Avalon the same class with Audi A6

Can you compare the both in comfortability?

Una wan expose una secret and later the parts go increase price, the car go increase price too.

Travelled.
Not driven.

Two different things.

You are not Ayton Senna nor Michael Schumacher.

You can't tell what a vehicle feels like or handles like.

You do not have the talent or knowhow to achieve either.

I know this is a year late but I like to keep the records straight.

And FYI.
Audi A6 is on another luxury level compared to the Avalon.

Next thing, you will say C class in in the same luxury class as the A series.

You don't own an Avalonship hence your analysis.One of the cheapest in terms ofcar parts

For me..the car too large and family like.wetin I wan use all the whole space do.Its a good car but I cannot buy it.I prefer compact cars like accord 2012

I have used Camry before using Avalon but I don't think it is too much sha. Currently, I used 10k fuel for 1 week (Ojodu to Oyingbo), AC always on

I currently use one and I have been driving it for almost 2 years now. Very efficient, moderate fuel consumption for me, and the maintenance doesn't cost too much. It is also reliable.

Some of you, i wonder how come you own a car, Lexus es350 2012,2011, share same fuel economy with same year toyota avalon, same engine... Avalon have a better fuel mpg than your es330 go to fueleconomy.Gov and check, better fuel economy than most v6.. Only i4 cars have a better fuel economy, the 012,011 avalon doesn't need premium fuel like older lexus es350... Your lexus rx330 don't come near avalon fuel economy. The problem is many of you bought lemon and abused naija used car, so you will always complain, alot of things affect your car mpg, starting from your oil, i know you all use a bad oil... Just know your cars please... Stop following crowd

lies upon lies upon lies. This is the best car I have had. Have used mine for 10yrs. This is the 10th yr picture. Never painted. Never done any major work. Worked on the suspension for the first time this year.

I know an engineer using this Avalon as a daily driver for about 7 years and the car is solid, durable, spacious, the only down side of this car is it's low ground clearance.

Avalon, the Japanese car with the best interior
