Got my 2011 Venza back in October and I just love it. It's well built, elegant, and comfortable. And being a new dad, the peace of mind that comes from having all the Venza's safety features and its reliability is priceless. And it looks cool, which is kind of a turn on to this former BMW driver.
One of my favorite Venza reviews.... well done. I bought my wife one this summer...... 2011 AWD V6 full load. So far so good. Love the style of this car.
Great review Steve, and you were dead on with all your points. I purchased a 2011 Venza V-6 on New Year's Eve and have been completely enjoying it since. Being 6'-6" tall, I was also pleased with the Venza's ample hip and shoulder room that the Venza had to offer! The sound system kicks butt, and the city mileage has also been a pleasant surprise! See ya down the road!!!
We just bought one today, it was a black one with the new black leather seats. It has the simple engine but that's fine. We test drove it and it was our favourite of all the crossovers we drove. We liked it cause of the space and it drove well, and it was good for me my both
I just went to my local auto show and saw this there. I agree with you Steve. It is a well built vehicle and moderately priced to boot. I really love Toyota's new vehicles and will definitely keep them on my list when shopping for a new car.
The I4 that my wife had in hers provided plenty of power, though, I can see the attraction to the V6. If I buy one when my lease on my Rav4 is up, I'll opt for the V6 AWD version.
It should be noted at 3:24 the narrator reads a standard 3.5" Multifunction display, the scene shows the optional navigation system, there is a smaller screen (used for time, HVAC settings, trip computer...) which is included in every Venza above the optional navigation system.
we have an 09 Venza with literally everything except AWD, so it has the V6, moonroof, nav, leather, everything. it's only downside is that the fit and finish isn't all that great, quite a few dash panels don't quite fit together, but otherwise, love it
Mostly everything is hard hollow plastic. I'm sorry but I know what I felt. there were a few nice quality spots but still very poor for the price of the car. Maybe yours is newer and they improved it
70 cubic ft is the same size as a Scion XB cargo space at $under $20k. So u spending more for the looks and quiet ride? ....some people just have alot of dough to spare.
ok the guy in the video before this said ther was no dual zone , how does one know? not that its a deal breaker , just something helpful my SO and passengers love the AC me ? not so much ...lol
vincent87s Sorry to bother if I am, yes I would agree. Very descriptive and in depth on a wide variety of vehicle aspects significant for consumer knowledge both visually and vocally.
Quality? I'm sorry but I have to completely disagree. My aunt has one of these and despite how much I dislike Toyota I thought it was a nice car, but then i sat in it and almost everything was hard plastic. Seriously? in a car that starts at 27K? Only in a Toyota...

We love our Venza. I have always been surprised it was failure in terms of sales. It is an amazing vehicle.

We love our Venza. It's definitely all the things he said.

Fantastic review as per usual Steve. I love your attention to detail.
the engine on the 2009-present Toyota Venza
Engine
2.7 L 1AR-FE I4
3.5 L 2GR-FE V6
The I4 that my wife had in hers provided plenty of power, though, I can see the attraction to the V6. If I buy one when my lease on my Rav4 is up, I'll opt for the V6 AWD version.

Proud owner highly recommend!!!
2:46 He didn’t even stop on the stop sign.
More decent and handsome look than RX350...

I like your reviews!

How much?
How much
awesome transitions
I got laid on the backseat last week, so I started to love this SUV and I had to look it up. Starting to love her and her SUV lol
Why did they discontinue this model?
I wonder same
ok the guy in the video before this said ther was no dual zone , how does one know? not that its a deal breaker , just something helpful my SO and passengers love the AC me ? not so much ...lol
nice review.

they dropped the inline 4 on the sienna, it wasnt selling well, i don't think it's right for a inline 4 to pull a 5000lb van
ArmyofSeaturtles Sorry to bother if I am, but why did they discontinue this model?
my mom was looking into one of these
Scion xb is not ugly....the Cube is
GRASIAS JESUS POR MI VENSAAAA
I like this
@DJTEVAdotCOM Scions are ugly though. Just not my style, but I really like this Venza.

Totally ran a stop sign

too cool
cool
a crossover?? I thought it's a station wagon lol
I didn't like it back in 2009 when the Venza came out, and still don't like it in 2012. This vehicle is just too wide and bulky for city driving.
David Halifax Ok. But other than that do you think it would be a good buy?
Idk man i see people driving 4runners in the city often
Cool oky
lmao, so true!
Camry is better
Good review
