Very good solid car. Excellent on long trips. Heated seats really pay off in winter. Great visibility due to ride height. Very spacious back seat area-passengers always amazed at the room and comfort. I found the 4cyl model to handle best, better handling with easier maintenance and strong, competent acceleration. Controls easy to reach and understand. Best thing is the car is so easy to get in and out of!

I have have my 2012 Toyota Venza for about 2 years. I bought it used, and put a bunch of miles on it. I have had zero problems with the car, even though it has about 115,000 miles. The leather seats, interior controls and space inside make it comfortable for the family and the gas mileage isn't bad. I like the look of the Venza on the exterior as well. The only negative things are the back-up camera, which isn't great, and the fact that the Venza has some major blind spots when changing lanes, etc. on the highway. I have learned to be extra careful. All in all, I really love my Venza and have never regretted the purchase.

Best vehicle I ever owned

Bought this car new in 2012 and put about 10k miles/year on it. Never had any mechanical problem with the car. With the panoramic moon roof, some crackling noises can happen on uneven roads, and a rattle has started under the dashboard passenger side. And that's it, which is totally acceptable after this time. The car performs like a well-oiled machine and still looks contemporary and in great shape inside out. One service manager at our local Toyota dealership recently told me to hang on to this car as long as possible. He stated that there are always a few winners in the model line up of every car maker, and the Venza is certainly one of the winners for Toyota. Too bad they discontinued this car. Update Nov. 2022: Toyota replaced the Venza with a gorgeous looking hybrid car. I sat in it, tried it out, but the interior feels crammed compared to the previous version. I therefore bought a Highlander Hybrid and am happy with it, especially with room and gas mileage. At times, when I see one of the older Venzas, I still miss mine as in hindsight, it was still "the best vehicle I ever owned".

We purchased used 2012 in 2014. I knew I loved the look but didnt realize I would fall in love with everything about the Venza. We have driven this car from NC out west 7 times and up and down the east coast literally too many times to count. We obviously love to travel and this car has never failed us. It has over 183,000 now and I'm just as happy today as the day I got it. It is not AWD but never had an issue in any snow storms we encountered out west and along upper mid west states. If I could go back in time I would do it all over again. UPDATE. 3-24 my venza now has 229,000 and is still the best car I have owned and yes I would do it over again. I get people compliment the look today and it 14 years old 9-22. She has 235,000 and I purchased a Highlander this summer and my husband and I both still drive my Venza daily. She just keeps going and I love that car

Very Comfortable and roomy inside. With the AWD, bad weather is a snap.
