  Fun ride - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By schecky26 - May 20 - 1:16 pm

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Good car spoiled by inferior steering - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By leon ospovat - November 25 - 9:40 am

  Dealership experience good. This very nice car has been spoiled by inferior power steering, which has a "sticks" in the neutral (straightforward) position. I tried another identical model which had the same problem. The dealership said this was due to the "new"electronic power steering, and they and Toyota told me it could not be rectified. My previous car the Lexus Rx had perfect steering. It is a shame that they did not use the same steering on the Venza. As a result I would not recommend the Venza to buyers of this class of car.

  27,000 miles, 4 years old, steering column shot and very noisy. Toyota was $1750 to replace this. My next Toyota will be a Honda.

  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.

  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

  The Venza is Great - 2009 Toyota Venza
  By Erica M. - January 15 - 1:23 am

  Just returned from a 14 hour drive. My Venza handled really well on the highway, was so comfortable and easy to drive. Its fast, quiet, and dependable. Still getting to learn the Navi system. The sun/moon roofs let in a lot of light. Have not driven in snow yet but would recommend this car. Toyotas are dependable and well designed.

  Purchased in Nov 2009 and for the most part have loved the vechicle. AWD in the snow and ice on the city streets has been excellent. Transmission did have to be replaced at 16,000 km. Gas milage not great but expected with a V6 and AWD.
