  Great car! Love it!! - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Donutdolly - June 19 - 8:46 pm

  I bought my Venza when my Lexus 2007 350ES lease ended. Once I took a test drive, I decided on the spot to buy the one on display--4 cyl Blizzard Pearl and fully loaded. This is such a terrific car for in-town and road trips. I put 5000 miles on it the first 6 weeks! Love every feature. 15 min after I drove away from the dealer, I parked at a shopping center and got asked, "What is that??? I love that car!" Hardly ever see others on the road, but I couldnt be happier to own this Venza. Have had Mercedes, BMWs, Volvos, Lexus in the past, and this is my favorite.

  Well balanced vehicle - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By HMG - May 27 - 6:56 am

  I wanted sport car like handling but needed to tow a 2700lb trailer. The Highlander was too expensive and the handling characteristics of the Venza is much better. The car feels more balanced than the 57/43 front/rear weight would suggest. Plenty of power and corners like a slot car compared to the Highlander or Rav4 due to the lower center of gravity. Love the interior room and comfort and ergonomics. I have been getting 24 mpg combined city highway and easily get 27 mpg straight hwy.

  I love this car. I drove it for a 200 mile trip and it drove like a dream. My kids in the back feel miles away from the driver.

  Love My Venza - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Cordy382 - May 17 - 11:50 am

  Purchased my Venza in February and love it. It turned 5900 miles today and every day I find it a pleasure. Had a late meeting last night and was driving home after a long day, turned on the JBL and just coasted home. This car is a true pleasure to own, drive, and enjoy. Unfortunately, Im beginning to see more of them on the road, so guess my days of being a trend-setter are over!

  Very Nice - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By lkrsfan1 - May 1 - 10:56 pm

  Have had my v6 FWD for a few weeks now and Im very impressed. I love the look with the 20 wheels, and the overall exterior look is similar to cars much more expensive. The interior is sharp, well-thought out and attractive. Im 63 and fit very nicely in the car. Back seat space is fantastic and helped by reclining seats. I couldnt be happier with this car.

  Venza - great job Toyota - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By FM - April 20 - 3:20 am

  Car interior is excellent. Love the blue tooth, MP3 ease of use and keyless ignition options. Really enjoy not getting keys out to get in to start the car. Dash layout is good and easy to store things. I have owned the car one week and have never received so many compliments. Barcelona Red color is eye catching. Interior seating is roomy and comfortable. I went in looking at a Highlander and this car caught my eye. It didnt take long to change my mind. Great crossover and enjoyable vehicle.

  Didnt mind the rough ride... - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By RAFFY - April 10 - 12:20 pm

  I didnt mind the truck like ride, the constant shaking of my head up and down while Im going down the road is what really bothered me. I got rid of it like a hot potato. Took the loss, but at least Im not stuck with it.

  The Shoe Does Not Fit - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By BB - February 18 - 9:16 am

  The Venza is a solid vehicle hampered by a few glaring defects. The fuel economy is good, but could have been improved by putting on 17 or 18in tires. I have no idea what Toyota was thinking when they mounted 19in tires on the 4 cylinder and 20in tires on the 6 cylinder. Replacement tires for the 19s are currently limited to the original tires. I can only hope Toyota received a great kickback for these terrible tires. I truly hate them. As a tall driver, I find the wideness of the center center console impedes my comfort. The good thing for Toyota is that these items are resolvable.

  Items that need improving. - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By venza - February 17 - 3:33 am

  Just a few items i find that need improving. Controls for heater/ac. are very distracting to operate while driving. eye contact must be used to find them and this is a safety feature that needs corrected. Seats are very hard and on an extended drive your bottom gets very uncomfortable.

  Very happy new Toyota owner - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Diana - February 9 - 11:40 pm

  Smooth and in control. Easy maneuvering, enjoyable very smooth steering, precise. Braking and acceleration just as great. All driver controls from the steering wheel to the easy no-reach dashboard are wonderful. Turning and cornering feels very stable, safe, and smooth. The gear shift is exactly where it should be, easy to reach, natural. Solid comfort. So easy to "crossover" from an Avalon to my Venza.
