Totally disagree! Limited is the way to go! This is a *LUXURY* car, first and foremost. Although the refinement of the sound in the TRD is not bad at all (like the horrendous Highlander and RX 350, where it sounds like a Honda generator, or a vacuum cleaner), a luxury vehicle should be *DEAD* quiet and *ultra* smooth! I would go with the Avalon Limited all day every day! Sadly, Lexus doesn't cut it anymore in the Luxury department. The Avalon Limited is the most LUXURIOUS (in the TRUE sense of the word), soft riding, dead quiet vehicle Toyota/Lexus makes! The only change I would make to one, after buying it, is put slightly _HIGHER_ sidewall tires to make the ride even plusher! And give it a tad bit more GROUND CLEARANCE.

Great vid on this again joe. Watched the last one and thought yeah the grill is massive and all that. Saw one in real life this week and was in awe. Definitely a looker for sure! Also again Joe. Can't hide that supra in the back. I'M EXPECTING A REVIEW ON THAT!! Last note : I think it'd be cool to have a "Zonk counter" in the vids. Have it start at zero and count up for every zonk, maybe put it in the corner of the video.

I am so glad that you liked the Avalon limited.

I bought the 2020 Avalon SE ...Hybrid 46 to 52 mpg averaging! I LOVE the car..Excellent performance. Excellent braking! Very smooth and very quiet, very responsive! A dream to drive! THE JBL sound system amazing! No cd player... I bought the beautiful midnight color. Terrible...... terrible orange peel on the paint...which I didn't notice UNTIL I got the car home...Dealership said it was "TYPICAL" of Avalons. Be aware the windshield wipers cannot be accessed to lift for cleaning windshield ( or ice removal in inclement weather) unless you open the hood! Terrible windshield wiper chattering..they've tried silicon.. new inserts..a clay bar..now the whole wiper assembly is next. I do like the sleek look of the recessed wipers however... C'mon not a good design on the windshield wipers...CHATTERING ... don't like the black spoiler...doesn't match my midnight paint...Sunroof has a gap on the retractable headliner...both sides! Poor workmanship. The car was made in Kentucky and some of it is not quality manufacturing. The leather seats are beautiful and they are comfortable! Not ventilated seats..not red on my mats.. no seat memory. Cheap key fob.. No Android Auto...only Apple play.

Next review should be a comparison of the XSE/Touring vs TRD pro 😎 pretty sure they may be the same just cosmetic and suspension differences.

@jjacob25101

If you are not familiar with how Toyota configures their trim levels, the Touring, like the Honda, or XLE is the top of the line luxury version, with all the options. The XSE is the top of the line Sport version, similar to the XLE with all the sport appearance and performance oriented parts. The TRD Avalon has the package added to the fully loaded XSE, with specific TRD seats, interior, badging, and body kit, lowered, tuned performance suspension, exhaust, 2 piston from disc brakes, and wider, lighter forged aluminum wheels. The TRD Camry is based on the SE, instead of the XSE to make it more affordable. The TRD addons are the same as the Avalon, with a Camry specific rear spoiler, and not as nice interior.

@jjacob25101

4 жыл бұрын

@Hamim Mahatab The Touring I believe is used more by Honda, but not sure if the Avalon has it. XLE is usually the top luxury version. If you are trying to make your own TRD clone, you need to start with the XSE, or you will have a sort, not sport tuned suspension and handling. And I am not sure if the TRD parts will be available. As far as fake copy parts, depending on the company, you get what you pay for. You might as will just get an Avalon XSE.

If your Camry is not an SE or XSE, you do not even have regular production sport tuned handling, brakes, and exhaust.

The Avalon looks great, but in Canada we want AWD for snow conditions, as said in the video more horse power is better. And sad thing is for 2021 model the limited edition is using hybrid with 2.5L inline 4, and the horse power drops to 205 similar to Camry engine, don't know what Toyota is thinking, going back to appeal the old person's car again, The TRD 2021 standard is still has no AWD but with a good 3.5L V6.

I love the Avalon TRD, and would get it if I had the money, though it is bigger than I normally would want for another car. The grille is no problem for me, I like it, and with the front license plate mount, it will not seem so out there. The Limited is no co.psrison, unless you like old style bling, luxury, and comfort. Lol Catfish was exactly what I was trying to say about the grille. It is a real catfish to trap you, but you get something great, not a scam. It's the real thing. It's perfect for a TRD version. The Camry, too, with the caveat of the things I don't like that I mentioned. The Avalon pulled out all the stops, added on top of the XSE trim. The Camry was I generously based on the SE trim to make it affordable for those that really want it. I don't know everything the Camry TRD is missing from the XSE, but if it has the JBL sound system available, it's great. I just rather have the XSE, even a 4 cylinder to save gas, less emissions, and slightly better handling than the V6, and save a few grand. For those that want more horsepower, it would add much more money, and decrease reliability, durability, and longevity. But as I mentioned before, it would ideal if Toyota offered a TRD Stage 1/2 OEM aftermarket hop up kit. A mild hop up, and maybe a more aggressive supercharger kit. They should also offer the TRD exhaust, wheels/tires, brakes, and basic suspension parts for the Avalon XSE, and Camry SE/XSE. I think the SE or XSE without the V6 could benefit from the wheels and suspension, but the exhaust and brakes would be not be necessary. The interior of the Camry was a compromise to keep the cost down. The seats stripe pattern remind me of characters from the Wizard of Oz. The Avalon TRD interior is fine, ventilated seats would be nice, but I would deal with it is the A/C is good. Memory seats, dual zone A/C, and stuff like power adjust seats on more affordable cars like the Honda Civic Sport Sedan are fine with me. My 1984 Buick GN had a beautiful interior as opposed to the 1984-87, even the GNX budget seats sn ugly color combination. The 84 GN has Lear Siegler that resembled Recaro seats with many adjustments and good bolsters, dark grey leather centers with sand grey diamond pattern tufted velour, and the red and yellow embroidered Turbo 6 logo on the upper seat back, instead of in the headrest looks way better than the later ugly GN seats. The GN and Turbo 6 badges were probably some of the nicest car badges ever, along with the nice ones from the exotic car brands. Once again, great video, and I agree with most of your points you brought up.
