Just turned 1000 miles. 29 mpg on the hwy, 19 around town, lots of room, comfortable seats. Ride was hard with the 20 inchers until I checked the tires(42lbs) Bled to 34lbs. Ride much improved. Great road car, can't wait to take extended trip. The almost perfect car/suv? for me!

Love my little red wagon, that's what I call my Venza. Just love it!! It's fun to drive and gets very good gas mileage. I've been getting anywhere from 22 to 24 miles to the gallon...and I live up desert area and its very hilly. Climbs hills no problemo! I get a lot of looks and people coming up and asking about my wagon! My husband and I we love the sporty look of the Venza. The only thing I wish we had gotten was cloth seats, don't care for the leather seats. But solved that problem just bought seat covers. Good Job Toyota! Love it!!!

NOT MY BEST CHOICE

I got my 09 Venza in September, put 3300 miles on it and 4 months later have already traded it in. It's got horrible blind spots, the cloth interior is nothing short of junk and the plastic dash and doors is completely disappointing. The road noise is ridiculous. Toyota didn't seem to put a whole lot of thought into this car. I had a Toyota prior to the Venza and loved it, but I wasn't sad to see this one go. You should head back to the drawing board.

My wife would not give up her matrix XRS without a nose bashing bleeding fight. Guile and love on my part got her to try out the Venza and it was love on first sight. If you travel two or three long trips a year yet need conveyance that won't tire both your wallet and patience and combine camping with urban driving, while keeping the kids happy, then this is the car for you. My wife was never one to enjoy attention but even she likes the looks she is getting. and the kids look up through the roof in the rear and all you hear is silence. Need I say more. All you parents out there at least give it a look over, this car (suv?) does not need a salesman.

Have had my v6 FWD for a few weeks now and I'm very impressed. I love the look with the 20' wheels, and the overall exterior look is similar to cars much more expensive. The interior is sharp, well-thought out and attractive. I'm 6'3'' and fit very nicely in the car. Back seat space is fantastic and helped by reclining seats. I couldn't be happier with this car.
