2010 Toyota Venza

Re: A mistake called Venza [vrm]

I would check again if I were you. 1. The 2009 Chrysler Pacifica was discontinued. 2. The Taurus X is a 7 Passenger Vehicle. This has nothing to do weather the car is a Toyota or not. Instead compare apples to apples in size as well as class. Read More...

Neither my wife nor I are "picky" people. We have owned more than a dozen cars in our lifetime and never had a problem with any of them--both foreign and domestic. Our 2009 Venza has more shortcomings than any vehicle we have ever owned. Its strong points (and there are several) are outweighed by the discomfort of their seats (cost cutting vs the Highlander's, for ... Read More...

I'm sorry but his review of the Venza is skewed just like everything else about MSNBC. His comparisons to Pacifica and Taurus X don't seem to make sense. Why didn't Carney compare Venza to similar models in the same class? At the end of his review he writes: "Volkswagen is pulling closer to the leaders with a plan to pass both of them in the coming decade. For this leadership ... Read More...

Transmission question

Re: whine upon acceleration [tollas]

Written by: halwick on Oct 28, 2009 01:33 PM

Interesting that you mention that whine. I have a Venza 4-cyl and I haven't heard it....yet, but I did hear noticeably loud whine upon acceleration on a 2009 Toyota Corolla that I rented. The noise varied with engine speed. Hard to determine whether it was the engine or transmission. Read More...

Accessories for Venza

Re: Dash Mat [halwick]

Written by: hangdogit on Oct 23, 2009 11:34 AM

The Venza, with its large, black dashboard and sloped windshield, definitely needs a dash mat. I use dash mats on all my cars and none need it as much as the Venza does. I researched Venza dash mats pretty thoroughly and finally ordered them (one for my Venza and one for my Camry) from AutoAnything. My mats are perforated Oak made out of a synthetic suede. The suede ... Read More...

Toyota Venza Sunroof

Re: Toyota Venza Sunroof [steffi603]

Written by: tgreuel on Oct 13, 2009 01:38 PM

I purchased a 2009 Venza in May. It's a 4-cylinder FWD. I have both the sunroof that opens over the front passengers, and also the panoramic moonroof over the rear passengers. So I know this model exists, and it really is a nice feature. Hope this helps. P.S. I live in North Dakota, so if I can find it here, you shouldn't have any trouble finding it elsewhere.

I did try looking at what 2009 inventory is still left. It looks like in Northern New Jersey only the 6 cyl AWD model comes with a standard sunroof. I was just confused because I shopped around at a couple of dealers and 1 said we can install a sunroof in the 4 cyl no problem. They were actually going on and on about how great their sunroof installer was, and then the last ... Read More...
