Took a chance on 1st yr model No regrets
We bought our 09 Venza V6 FWD in snowy Ottawa and brought it back to Toronto. The dealers here wanted too much. The car performs flawlessly with excellent throttle response from the powerful six. Braking is good for the heft and space is generous. Build quality is standard Toyota ie: far beyond the domestics. The traction and stability control negate the need for AWD so money could be spent on accessories. Head and leg room are just adequate for me and my wife (both 6') and rear seat is huge for the kids. Overall we are very pleased with the Venza and I recommend it highly. Very well priced.
Good solid car, excellent value
I bought this car in March 2018 with some 117,000 miles on it. 6 cylinder version with good power - same engine as Camry 6 cylinder, I believe. MPG usually around 20 mpg. Can get around 28 mpg under ideal conditions. Good solid car. Plastic on the interior is not quite up to par but it's holding up fine after almost 10 years. Nice big doors make it easy to get in and out of the vehicle. As of January 2020, the car has 137,000 miles on it. Two of the four original struts are leaking a bit. Great vehicle so far.

Well balanced vehicle
I wanted sport car like handling but needed to tow a 2700lb trailer. The Highlander was too expensive and the handling characteristics of the Venza is much better. The car feels more balanced than the 57/43 front/rear weight would suggest. Plenty of power and corners like a slot car compared to the Highlander or Rav4 due to the lower center of gravity. Love the interior room and comfort and ergonomics. I have been getting 24 mpg combined city highway and easily get 27 mpg straight hwy.
Very Sporty :)
I went out that evening to go shopping and ended up at the dealership saw the Venza and was hooked!! I know it's a sort of station wagon but it feels like a sports car :), very comfortable, fast and stylish. Coming from an SUV I'm very satisfied with this purchase!!! If you're looking to downsize check this out! Very nice! :)
