When I was looking for at this vehicle at first, I love the style of it! I almost bought one without driving it first. Lucky for me, one of my customer's happened to have one and he let me drive it. I fell for it! I read a lot of reviews that said it lacked in the driving, they said it wasn't fun to drive, I feel the total opposite! I am a Toyota person, my 1998 Camry has 365k on it and still on the road today. I was spectacle of the quality of the newer Toyotas and that of the 3.5 V6 (ticks on start up like a sewing machine) which is why I went with the 2.7 4 cylinder. I have literally no complaints about this Venza at all!

Ok so I was super excited to buy this car when I did. Purchased it 1 year pre-loved here in Southern California with roughly 20k miles on it. I bought it because I wanted something that I knew I was going to have for awhile, and boy did I have this for awhile. I just recently sold it to buy a family truck, but I miss it!! It was SO RELIABLE, spacious, comfortable. I literally didn't have to do any unexpected maintenance on it the entire 9 years I owned it. Just oil changes, brakes, and regularly scheduled maintenance. The controls worked well and were easy to use. Yes now that it's 2023, 10 years later the tech has come a long way since this car but honestly it suited my needs perfectly well even up until now. Yeah, it doesn't have all the new stuff cars now have, like parking assist, lane keeping assist, heads up display, but it drove well, I always felt safe in it with my 4 year old. Though I must say the 4cyl could not keep up on uphill ascents, so I did wish I had purchased the V6. But it was plenty roomy for our family of 3 and all our stuff. We've taken it to Mammoth Mountain numerous times and it did fine. The new Venzas are smaller than this one, which is a bummer. If you want something that is super dependable, safe and comfortable for a growing family this is a great suv. Controls are simple, you can connect your phone via bluetooth. If they had made the new Venzas as big as this old one I would buy another one.

Leased for 5 years ,, the car was pulling left on braking. temperature on right disk 116f, on left disk 165f., proof of imbalance. The cabin noise is excessive. You may not have noticed but the steering wheel is at an angle in other word of center.
Love it!

Just that you will love it.
Spacious, but a bit underpowered

2013 Venza 2.7 LE: Bought the car with 87K miles and after around 4.5 years sold it with 121k miles. I had the extended warranty since I bought it. PROS: Spacious. Easy to drive around town. Liked the driving position, I'm 6'2". Good on snow. CONS: 2.7 litter engine does not give it a good acceleration. I don't think it's worth the loss of power comparing to the 3.5 V6 to only get 1 or 2 MPG more. The engine does consume some oil, check other reports online and you will see. Toyota also says that in the owners manual. Maintenance (all fixed by the extended warranty): Water pump was replaced with 89k miles. E-brake broke and had to be fixed. Hood latch got stuck and you could not open it, fixed. Rear speed sensors were causing lights in the dash and had to be replaced. Rear wheel bearings were noisy, replaced. Something in the rear brakes that I don't remember of were damaged by rust and were replaced. One tip about tires, I bought a pair of ELDORADO TRAIL GUIDE HLT and those were much better comparing to the Pirelli ones, and cheaper. Also great on snow. In general, I'd say buy one with the 3.5 engine. It also felt it had too many broken stuff considering this was a one owner Toyota that I bought with only 87k miles. I believe all the stuff that broke were around the first 2y of ownership with me, then the car was solid. I don't know if it was just a bad timing or something else.
