2012 Toyota Venza consumer reviews

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.

Been driving it for 2 months now. Wife loves this car. Drove it to LA and was great. lots of room for 4 with luggage. Smooth and comfortable ride. No regrets getting it. V6 with plenty of power for the highway.

Every thing about this car I'm happy with. Good price nice and wide big tires. The color I'm very happy pearl. Gas mileage, very strong 4 cylinder.

MY 3.5-LITER V6 LE AWD 2012, VENZA IS BEAUTY FROM WITHIN! IT IS VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS.I RECENTLY WENT ON A ROAD TRIP OUT OF STATE WITH MY FAMILY.THEY ALL AGREED THAT VENZA IS EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND A RELAXED RIDE.THE DRIVE WAS AWESOME. FUEL ECONOMY SEEMS TO BE BETTER THAN RATED.AWESOME PERFORMANCE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS VERSATILE,SOPHISTICATED,SPACIOUS AND EQUIPPED.

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.

The car just went over 100 miles and so far I have been satisfied with the ride and handling. The interior is comfortable however, I am less than satisfied with the radio. I have the Nav Configuration and changing CD's is not a one step process. Also, found buttons on radio, etc to be cheap looking and feeling. Still cannot figure out how to turn off the Nav Display screen when not required? The auto garage opener and bluetooth sync processes went very smoothly. It would have been nice if the glass on the rear hatch opened.
