We have a 2013 LE. Best car we have ever owned. At 170,000 miles it needs a little maintenance. I'll be doing the valve cover gasket as well as all of the related gaskets for the spark plug tubes, and sensors. New spark plugs.The rear brakes and rotors need replacing. For the valve cover job, I went ahead and purchased new electrical connectors for the coils. These are known to get very brittle with age. Overall, it has been a great car for us. We have owned a lot of Toyotas over the years. I was a VW guy back in the air-cooled engine days. I owned a few of their water-cooled models, but those did not hold up so well. It is the reliability of the Toyotas that has sold me ever since.
You sold me on the Komho tires bud, I have the same vehicle but 2013. I took mine across Canada in 2019, excellent car for camping and all road conditions.
Thanks for positive comments. Yeah these tires are great on this Venza, i drove through some heavy snow with these tires. Last week came back from Upper peninsula of Michigan. Very good traction but they are little bit just little bit loud on the highway speeds at over 80
@@nazarettos6987 thank you for this Venza YT feature! This is the vehicle I am looking for as a retirement vehicle. Much of the maintenance I can do myself, but it goes to show that if you take care of these Toyota vehicles, they can last you a good long time! Good to know that the 2.7 liter i4 is very reliable, and more than adequate for pulling this vehicle! Thank you again! 😃👍🏼
Just bought a 2009 V6 with 144K... Sold new in Oregon and has stay here with two owners. It looks and drives like new. Has all the options except a sunroof even rear dvd player. The GPS is outdated but works fine.
Yes definitivamente es un vehículo muy bueno 👌 cómodo para viajar y de buen rendimiento y buena calidad. Eso es la características de Toyota un vehículo de clase. El mantenimiento es totalmente fácil para cualquier persona hacerlo. De verdad yo lo recomiendo 👌👍😉😊😌😁
I have a 2012 bronze limited, I get alot of compliments most can't believe it's 12 years old I have 59k miles and holds value pretty good also, can still get over 10k if I wanted to sell it
Been looking for the 2.7L Venza for a year, good condition with lower mileage ones are going for close to $20K. Finally bought a new RAV4 (Japan built with JT vin) for $28K out of the door. I chose the LE model because it doesn't have the start/stop function. But I still like the ride comfort of Venza and will keep searching for one as a spare car. The MPG on the new RAV4 is great, over 30.
@@crazykenbei Ngl venza kinda does sound better but if you compare the 2015 north american venza with the Japanese 2015 harrier you can see a big difference only in design the power is less 1.8L i think
@@aasirtahamid3888 well the harrier is a rebadged Lexus Rx. Same car in fact. Especially so today. The Lexus has the 3.5 l V6 trim options with a luxury while the harrier has the 4 cylinder option. The original venza is some Frankenstein not quite SUV or car monstrosity with the chassis of a Camry and the engines of the Lexus Rx at the time haha. But I understand not bringing it back fully it didn't sell well haha. At least they gave us the name

I have 2019 Rav4 XLE from Japan, no star stop option. This Venza also running strong, got 56k miles on it.
@@nazarettos6987it’s because of your video, I bought a 2015 Venza LE with the 2.7L i4. Although mine’s FWD, not AWD. Thank you for the review! 😃
I test drove 2.7L not enough power for the size imo. I went with V6 and absolutely LOVE It!
Our one is a 2015 xle awd 3.5L v6 100K miles driven and we might upgrade to the xse sienna but tbh i rlly think this does better than the new venza
I don’t like new Venza, they only offer hybrid version.
The new venza is a Toyota harrier that they just renamed venza for the North America market. Lol but completely different
