  Toyota #4 - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Wenatchee Bill - May 31 - 2:56 pm

  83 Supra, 91 Previa, 01 Sienna and now the Venza. All purchased new and all (less the Venza) driven at least 135,000 miles. The Venza is primarily for my wife. She loves it, cares for it meticulously, and allows me to drive it once a week or so. She feels the Silver color is thin, ie: anything that touches the body leaves a mark. The road noise (4000 miles) is worse than our Sienna. Probably related to 20 inch wheels w/lo profile tires. This is probably our last new car purchase. I hope when the Venza is 8 or 9 years old and has 100,000+ miles that we will have enjoyed as we have our previous Toyotas.

  By sammy - May 12 - 7:16 pm

  I have been a Subaru legacy fan for years and decided to go Toyota this year. Despite the publicity I bought the venza. 2.7 L AWD and love it!! The car proved itself through several heavy snowstorms in NC with excellent snow performance . Would recommend this vehicle without reservation

  Just Purchased - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By TT - May 3 - 9:43 pm

  I have only had the car for 1 day but want to give my initial impressions and will update later. This car is a good composition of beauty, comfort and fun to drive. The car corners well, there is plenty of room for the driver and passengers. I have the blizzard white and it is much prettier than the blue, green and red that I have seen. I have not seen the other colors. The dealer that I purchased it from was more than fair, very respectful and made the experience fun. I would recommend both the car and the dealer.

  9-Plus Car - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By skahikin - April 26 - 7:36 am

  In 13K miles (12K in Houston commute traffic), the 4-cylinder is more than adequate and a fuel saver (27 MPG) from crawl speed to aggressive speeds (5 - 75 mph) in my 9 month ownership. Adjusting to a slower pedal response, it is quite maneuverable with good pickup. As others state, the seats are too sparse for rides above 2-3 hours. Additionally, the ride is less comfortable with Bridgestone Dueler tires. Fortunately, Toyo came out this Spring with Versado CUVs to save those of us with 19" tires with reviews that state the ride is improved with Toyos. Unfortunately, the dashboard glove compartment area is now producing an irritating rattle due either to inadequate fit or sun warping.

  Head turner called Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Chris - March 29 - 6:33 am

  Road noise is more than excessive, computerized fuel consumption display is inaccurate, remote starter limiting engine run for only 5 minutes is senseless: warming up cooling down the car interior requires more than 5 minutes, distance for remote starter is another brainless design: maximum distance to use remote is only 80 feet. Despite all this my black shiny Venza is still great had turner.

  Venza 2,7 L - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By ABEMAN - March 27 - 10:10 am

  We have the Venza about 6 months and now has about 6,000 miles. We got a great price at the dealership. Rare Tropical Blue color makes the car look beautiful and luxurious. Very pleased with the roominess of the interior and the back seat. The drive and handling. The car is very dependable with no problems up to the first oil change. Toyota put a lot of thought into the design. Even at a base model there a lot of features which are standard. More than enough for the casual driver. The longer, I sit in the vehicle the more uncomfortable the seat. I think in time I will put Leather Seats in this car. I plan on keeping for a long time.

  Great Value - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Mrstacy - March 26 - 12:26 am

  Features like Keyless Go, Bluetooth (Stereo and Hands-Free Cellular), Automatic Tailgate, Remote Folding Seat Lever, 20 in wheels, and rear-view camera make this a great value. The ride is nice and sedan-like. The wide stance makes it very stable. The stated fuel economy puts it among the best in its class. The fit and finish is like a Lexus. Weve owned BMW, Landrover and this meets or exceeds them both. The legroom could be better in the back, but it is OK. You could spend 60k for all of this and not get as refined a package. The resale should be OK too. This is our first Toyota, so we will see about that.

  Great Car - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Gene - March 2 - 10:30 pm

  I was shopping to replace my 07 Highlander. The 09 Highlander was simply too big. I saw the Venza and gave it a test drive. Its a great car. The Toyota people know what they are doing. The Venza is well designed, very comfortable, fun to drive, well made, great on gas, and priced well. Its actually a station wagon (remember those?) for modern drivers. Toyota hit a home run. This is a no-brainer.

  Love the car - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Andrew H - February 23 - 9:26 am

  Driven 4000 KMS in less than a month and love it. Not the best fuel economy, but everything else has been great. Stylish exterior turns heads. Lots of room inside and especially in rear for kids or passengers. Got an aftermarket DVD system installed by dealer for the kids and they use it all the time for vids even on short trips. Wireless headphones are great! Built in video games too. Have owned Honda Civis 1998 and 2005, 2002 Camry, 2004 Suzuki XL7 and 2006 Ford Fusion...this vehicle smokes the competition. I cant wait to trade this in after a few years for a V6 version fully loaded.
