  • The almost perfect car - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    Coming from several years of driving a mini van, the last one a Honda which I did not like. I was interested in the Venza before it came out. When it finally did, I wasnt disappointed. I wanted a stylish car that had performance, a comfortable ride, a comfortable interior and all the bells and whistles. Navigation, pano roof, blue tooth, sound system, leather etc. The Venza delivers. It is a great car which is wonderful for cargo space or carrying passengers. It has a lot of leg room. Seats are comfortable, has a good ride and it has plenty of power. The only thing lacking is memory seats. Wish the mileage was better but you cannot have performance and great mileage.

  • Absolutely Fabulous Vehicle - 2009 Toyota Venza

    We drove from Akron, OH to Rochester, NY to purchase this car, and we havent looked back ! 26,000 miles and the ride is very comfortable. It handles like a car, and youve got the SUV space. Gas mileage is 26 in town and 30 on the highway. All the luxury of the Lexus for thousands less. My husband is 6.1 and hes very comfortable in the driver and passenger seats. The 4 cyl engine has plenty of power and the transmission is smooth. We plan to keep this car well over 100k miles. The only problem we have is who gets to drive it!

  • Proud owner of a VENZA!!!!! - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    My husband & I just went to look and left owning a Venza. Its gorgeous in tropical blue. We are big folks, both 65 years old and cant wait to hit the road for a long trip. The comfort of the seats is unmatched. Had a couple in the back with plenty of leg room and perfect temperature. We have been stopped and asked about it several times. Getting in and out is a breeze as it is the perfect height. Its turning radius is great and my 90 year old mother gets in and out it with ease and there is plenty of room for a walker and a wheel chair and groceries! Proud to be the owner. We even named it... Victoria. Check it out asap.

  • Awesome =) - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    The Venza is my favorite vehicle out there. Awesome body style, fantastic interior, roomy, great safety ratings and reliable Toyota name. Critics have knocked points off of it because it lacks 3rd row seating. I LOVE this about it. I have 3 kids and no one wants to be the person who sits in the way back of a vehicle (in 3rd row seating) which are usually uncomfortable. A sedan seemed too small, minivan was too big and suvs were usually too ugly, big or just simply didnt appeal to me. I was going to get the Honda Ridgeline until I saw this and fell in love with it.

  • Venza: good stuff mover, great snow car - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    I bought this 6cy AWD explicitly for very long drives along the Great Lakes Snowbelt in winter - dangerous conditions. I held my nose while considering SUVs and minivans. This car was a reasonable compromise. The seat is firm and surprisingly comfortable on a 500 mile drive. The vehicle handles firmly and assertively unlike Toyotas other models. I call it a vanagon; it felt large at first, but it really is more like a tall sedan than anything else. I have a black one with that ridiculously toothy chrome grill, which seems to be a desirable feature on higher-end vehicles. But it goes like a tank in the snow and hauls a medium amount of stuff. Expect good resale from it and I feel safe.

  • The Best - 2009 Toyota Venza

    I just bought my Venza and I just Love it. It is the best car I have ever had. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. The storage and space is perfect.

  • We Love Our 2009 Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    Happiest my wife has ever been with a car!!!! And, during the recent snow we received, the AWD Venza proved its mettle on snowy and icy roads. It is a very safe vehicle that handled superbly in very adverse driving conditions. It is stylish, roomy, comfortable, and full of quality everywhere you look. We cant wait to take our first road trip in this vehicle. We both enjoy driving it and we really like the way it handles. The leather seats are very comfortable. The stereo is excellent. The controls are driver-friendly and easily accessible. The safety features are excellent. Love the airline style overhead reading lamps for the rear passengers. Love the dual climate control. Outstanding buy!

  • Only car - 2009 Toyota Venza

    We bought this Venza Feb., 2009 so faf we put on over 26000 miles on it . Drove to Fl. twice already from CT. Love the way it handles , no problem so far with it. Good SUV for the money.

  • A sweet ride for computer geeks - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    We got the navigation system, which I really thought we didnt need, especially since you cant get it with the entertainment system. But the touch screen just cant be beat for information and fun if you like computers. The car is very luxurious and the ride is just about a perfect compromise between comfort on the road and on dirt or sand. I dont know what those folks who knock the ride are talking about. The 20" wheels do make for a little harshness, but big bumps are taken in stride. Dont even think about getting the four cylinder engine. Even the 6 cylinder is short on low end torque, but pulls nicely once you get moving.

  • Fits The Bill - 2009 Toyota Venza
    By -

    Powerful on acceleration, all wheel drive for various weather conditions, reasonable gas mileage, up to date electronics, plenty of interior space for 5 adult passengers and a nifty interior and exterior design all go into making our V6 AWD Venza a real pleasure to drive. Venza fits the bill for any car buyer who feels lost between the bloated low mileage truck frame sport utility vehicles and the claustrophobic small frame cross-over vehicles. Buy this car - it is a winner!
