Great car.

Great car. 186k miles and no issues. DVD player is great for kids in the back seat. Wish I could keep it but I need a truck.

Solid vehicle, albeit 2 radiators have failed!

Bought it used in 2011, was leased. Langley BC Toyota dealer. Pros. Powerful V-6 engine, roomy, comfortable seats in front and rear, and plenty of room in back accessed by power hatchback. Comfortable for driver and passengers, very reliable in general, currently has 140,000 miles and is dependable.Negative: Has had 2 radiators leak and fail, requiring replacement. First one was with only about 80,000 miles and Toyota dealer in Comox< BC (since purchased by seemingly a more responsible owner)said problem was not something that should occur until about 200,000 miles..if ever. Then, a year and a half later, same thing happened again. I was not happy that the dealer refused to cover the repair, claiming that as I was 3 months over warrantee, he did not have to cover. Offered a $100 dollar credit off the work. Balderdash I thought. Since then has had one other large job..differential coupling, which was also expensive, over 1000$$. Oh, replacing the radiators cost, the first one, was about $2000...they said had I not brought it in when i did, it would have toasted the engine. So, though the costs of repairs have been excessive, we still like the car, very drivable and comfortable. Now, as we have bought a RAV 4, 2008, with only 55,ooo miles..we feel much better to have that as a go to car should the Venza fail.

Got a Good Deal

Test drove a 2009 Toyota Venza AWD. Loved the car. The car is good condition for 2009. It's AWD 6cyl 3.5L with only 144K miles. This car can last another 10 yrs. It's a great value for the price.

One of the few cars with enough seatroom

This was the only car that had enough seatroom that was AWD but was not a large suv or truck. Very peppy car with lots of options and reasonably priced

Nothing outlasts a Toyota!

I have a long history with Toyota models. The Venza is another great example of a stable SUV. The four cylinder motor gets you where you are going. The all wheel drive makes sure you are not al over the road in bad conditions. It could be more powerful, but I average over 20 mph. The panaramic sun roof is great and the car has a great warranty. I hope to turn 150,000 with it. Too bad the mod l was discontinued.
