  Took a chance on 1st yr model No regrets - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Mike MacDonald - August 23 - 9:00 pm

  We bought our 09 Venza V6 FWD in snowy Ottawa and brought it back to Toronto. The dealers here wanted too much. The car performs flawlessly with excellent throttle response from the powerful six. Braking is good for the heft and space is generous. Build quality is standard Toyota ie: far beyond the domestics. The traction and stability control negate the need for AWD so money could be spent on accessories. Head and leg room are just adequate for me and my wife (both 6) and rear seat is huge for the kids. Overall we are very pleased with the Venza and I recommend it highly. Very well priced.

  I love the venza!! (:>) - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Cathy - August 18 - 7:46 am

  I love the Venza and would recommend it to everyone. My husband and I just came from a 200 mile trip and it was great!! The weather was BAD --but the Venza didnt mind it at all, no problems and the navagations was sooo very helpful, over all I have a lot of faith in the Venza. I only have it for 1 and half months. I cant think it would give me any problems. In the next 6 months I will let you know if I have any problems --I have a lot of faith in it and dont think I will.

  Eye catcher - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Stan - July 21 - 9:56 am

  Purchased car used with 8400 miles, just turned 12,000. We love our Venza! So classy and fun to drive. Lots of power with the V-6. Really good gas mileage 19/26. Ride is more sporty than the Lexus, but still comfortable enough for us. The Michelins do make a difference. We decided on the Venza vs another RX Lexus which we loved. Price was a strong consideration. We trust Toyota and think they are getting bad press. Its a keeper for us. A good looking SUV/crossover.

  Love my venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By dmkent - March 18 - 10:56 am

  Our 15 year old Mercedes e class was totaled in an accident and we made safety a priority in buying a new car which led us to the venza... It had a phenomenal amount of safety features and was able to make it out of our steep driveway due to the 8 inch ground clearance... When we drove it we were impressed by the feel of the car and by the overall design... At this pricepoint other vehicles dont come close... It can never replace our Mercedes but it is giving us a great safe ride and a big bang for out buck!

  Venza 2009 - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Dave - February 21 - 3:43 am

  I bought a fully loaded Venza 2009. I love this car. It is luxurious, well build, solid and safe feeling. I look forward to driving it. Do not get this car without the navigation system. It is so worth it

  Best value in its class - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By ValueWonk - January 9 - 4:56 pm

  The Venza is perfect for our current needs and has been a joy to drive in both city and rural/mountain driving. With two of three teenagers in college we no longer needed 7 seats and traded in a Honda Odyssey which we loved. But the Venza is a more luxurious car and we like the security of AWD along with all the safety features. Fit and finish are great, reliability has been perfect in the first 7000 miles. Backup camera as part of the navigation package is very helpful. Backup on its own has too small a display. Teenagers love the sound system and the MP3 plug and play capability. Looked at the Lexus RX350 but the Venza is virtually identical and is $8,000 less.

  Love the vehicle, very noisy on highway. Toyota needs to solve this problem, if they cant solve the noise will trade for highlander.

  Our new Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By merrel - December 28 - 10:46 pm

  We now have 09 Venza for 3 months and love the handling, and quality built workmanship. 24 mpg city and 28mpg hway. Wish vehicle had 2 position memory seats but paid $675 extra for full power passenger seat. Also opted for double sun roof & radio. Do not see the need for 20" tires but that was not negotiable. Highway cruising is a dream. Sold a 2006 RX330 Lexus for this with no regrets. Did splurge $400 for two piece mesh chrome (aftermarket) grille from California which really adds class!!

  Aerodynamics and Space in a Crossover - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Art Wallace - December 20 - 12:26 pm

  The Venza has been a surprising delight to drive with the four- cylinder version providing excellent fuel economy and adequate acceleration and hill climbing capacity. Weve enjoyed the spacious seating in front and back, along with the excellent standard features and back storage area with easy fold down seats (with lever). Its aerodynamic design and styling make it drive smoothly on the highway and its tight turning radius is a welcome change after owning a minivan.

  You Drive It, You Love It - 6cyl AWD - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Glen Harper - December 14 - 3:53 pm

  I read about the "sticks" in the steering but I have not seen it on the 6cyl model. It has enough power for me. I had a Tacoma 4x4 for 11 years and the ride of this Venza cannot be compared to the ride of a truck and the 20" wheels help to smooth out the ride.
