"I just bought this Venza XLE with a V-6 one week ago. I still smile every time a see it or drive it. I find it very comfortable, quiet and peppy. I can't wait to try it on a road trip. I am still learning how to use all the electronic and computerized bells and whistles, but I am having fun doing it. I"

"The Venza is a good, but not excellent car. Gas mileage too lowe 18 miles in town? Fairly soon I'll trade it in for a great Prius, which gets much better mileage"

"It's a great car except I was disappointed to find that the leather seats are not all leather. The panel that next to the center is fabric. Also, I'm finding the steering wheel is not all that comfortable after driving for a while. It is leather covered but is not padded."

"If you haven't driven one you don't know what you?re missing. Along with the styling, comfort and power it?s also a pure pleasure to drive. Is it perfect? No but there is nothing in this world that is, if you want near perfection then buy a Lexus. There are a few things I could gripe about but the positives way out way the cons which I consider only minor preferences. So, don?t listen to Mike Rowe, he?s only in it for the money; Ford ain?t got nothing on Toyota."

"I bought my Venza Base 2.7l AWD last year. This was my first big vehicle after using regular sadan's for long. After using it for almost a year, I must say, I enjoy the drive every day. The car is extremely comfortable to drive. The steering is amazingly smooth. Fuel economy was better than mentioned by Toyota. I use it for long trips as well for getting to office. The car is really wonderful. I completely enjoy it using and am very thrilled to own it!! I strongly recommend it."

"Bought this used with 18,000 miles. Now has 24,000. Use it on very long road trips and for getting around. Didn't expect to get a big car but so happy we did. Fuel economy seems to be better than rated. Love the enormous cargo space when the seats are down. Much easier to reach kids and dog in the back seat than in a standard suv since the seats are set up more as a sedan. Great heat and a/c. 4cyl with AWD but gets right up a hill with no problem. The ride is so comfortable and smooth. Every time we go to get in our car, it makes us smile."

"Bought a 2012 Toyota Venza XLE on April 30, 2012. It was a replacement for a 2001 Toyota Avalon. It has 1100 miles on it right now so no opinion on reliability yet. Overall a good buy but am disappointed on three things. The backup camera display on the dash is kind of dismal. Works well at night but not during the day as the display is not vivid. Also, no backup sensors on the bumper which is a big disappointment. The other area is a lack of a second mirror on the side view mirror. I understand this is being corrected in the 2013 model. We have another vehicle where that feature is excellent for keeping track of vehicles in your typical blind spots."
