  A wonderful step-down from mini-vans - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By retired teacher - December 30 - 1:46 am

  I drove my new Toyota off the dealership in mid-January and have been loving my choice! Great acceleration-smooth driving on interstate-comfort all the way! I personally love the fact that there is no 3rd seat- after 4 mini-vans, I now feel like Im driving a Lexus-for a lot less! It even looks similar to the Lexus-I love the low to the ground entry-exit-my Venza is fully loaded- the only negative is the fuel efficiency-but I love the fact that I have more room than the more fuel efficient Prius. It was worth the wait! I test drove Honda CR_V, Subaru Tribeca and the Nissan Murano.

  6 weeks and 1000 miles - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By spencer327 - November 22 - 9:43 am

  Just turned 1000 miles. 29 mpg on the hwy, 19 around town, lots of room, comfortable seats. Ride was hard with the 20 inchers until I checked the tires(42lbs) Bled to 34lbs. Ride much improved. Great road car, cant wait to take extended trip. The almost perfect car/suv? for me!

  March 2009 Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By weasel - October 14 - 9:26 am

  Bought the car in March, it has been well worth it. The car looks great, is roomy and comfortable and very responsive in traffic. Traded in a 1998 Camry and the new styling and design is definitely an upgrade at a very reasonable price. Took it on a 6 hour drive to Blacksburg VA, the wife enjoyed the driving and wasnt intimidated by the size of the vehicle.

  It really is as good as it looks - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By VenzaBuyerIL - September 7 - 4:10 pm

  We spent a long time deciding between the Venza and the Lexus RX 350, Audi Q5, Infiniti EX35 and Volvo XC60. While the Venza is a crossover, these others are small luxury SUVs and are priced similarly-equipped at about a $10K higher sticker price. We have not been disappointed by the initial quality, ride and features in our vehicle. My only serious complaint about the vehicle is the quality of the plastic used in the lower half of the dashboard; it says "Corolla" more than luxury and this is about the only oversight I have found. Otherwise, I suspect we have as much a car as the ones listed above, but at a significantly more economical price. I am very happy with my choice.

  Awesome new line! - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Cassandra - June 9 - 10:40 pm

  I just picked up my Venza yesterday. It rides really smooth, I didnt get the moonroof with Nav option. But its fully loaded with everything else plus I received some free accessory items that I didnt expect. It has fast pickup, plenty of legroom, heated seats and a great dashboard that will tell you everything from gas mileage info to temperature info. Comes with the Satellite system free for 3 months. Buttons are right by your hands, so you dont have to stretch over anywhere. Futuristic design on the body, very different. Lots of cargo room and has bigger tires than your usual standard car. Lighted dashboard at night very well illuminated and bright.

  Working classs Lexus - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By ArtF - May 16 - 5:10 am

  Sleek design on the outside and very roomy on the inside. Im one of those got attracted to that "what is it" statement and it really stands out to that category. I used it everyday for work and its very easy to maneuver and parking is a breeze with its smooth steering. Since owning the car, my family loves to go on long driving coz its just fun to drive.

  Beautiful luxury - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By rdd - May 7 - 10:40 pm

  Purchased a black loaded 2wd Venza. Pretty much everything is on it. Extremely nice to drive. Replaced a 2007 Camry V6 Limited. Navigation is much improved. JBL stereo is also much better then previous model. Handles pretty well for a tall vehicle, Automatic high beams is kind of unusual, takes some getting used to. So far we both love it.

  First Impressions - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By ceprise - March 19 - 8:13 am

  My wife drives 20k miles/yr on business. Shes put 90K on a Grand Marquis in 4.5 yrs. She likes my 08 Santa Fe, but wanted something more stylish with a high sitting position. She loves the Venza! High style, room of an Avalon for adult business associates and friends, space for occasional hauling projects. An Avalon wagon!

  It makes me smile - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Darla - March 4 - 3:33 pm

  Perfect car to travel with because of its cargo arrangement options and seating space. The comfort of the passenger seat was of utmost importance to us. The seat is broad enough, has enough leg room, and recline capabilities so the passenger has positional options during a trip. However it has one defeat-if books or grocery bags are placed on the front passenger seat the seat belt signal sounds. Wish the passenger could do map tracking to specific hotels, food, etc. while the car is being driven from area to area. This would be wonderful for spur of the moment decisions while driving along. Wish the width of the back cargo space immediately behind the back seat was the same as at door area.

  The Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By cec horlick - February 1 - 7:53 pm

  Overall I really like this car. Its very roomy and rides fairly well. I havent had any major problems with it in the first year of ownership. I was surprised with the amount of exterior noise from wind and engine. I have a bronze venza and it looks very nice in the sun. Good job with the color options Toyota
