Bianca my Venza

I really like my all white Venza, except for two things. The Navigation visibility is poor. If its sunny I have a hard time seeing what I am punching in. And reading it. And second, It does have a couple of blind spots. Otherwise its been a great ride

I bought my Venza on May 5th 2016. It is now Jan,2022. The most I ever done on this car was breaks, tires and oil change. I have never had any issues with my Venza LE.

This 2013 crossover car with 55000 miles on the odometer is great. Still drives like a new car, no rattles or squeaks. It's very sure footed in all weather conditions, I live in the North West and drive in lots of rain and snowy mountain conditions. The car is fun to drive with the 6 cylinder engine and a silky smooth transmission. From a driving/road-handling/traction perspective this car is superior to many much more expensive vehicles out there. I like the slightly higher build of this vehicle, getting in and out is great. Sitting just a few inches higher gives one a commanding view of the road. My only knock is the dated dash layout, radio and A/C controls appear dated to me. However, seating is great, with lots of legroom front and rear. most of my family members are over 6' and love the seating. Overall this is a great vehicle and is fun to drive. Toyota should bring this crossover concept back. Taking the Venza out of production might have been premature since it appears that more car makers in the last year or two are starting to produce similar looking/sized vehicles. The new crop of (2017/18) import crossovers look a lot like the 2013 Toyota Venza. Many car makers are starting to bring back the crossover wagon since they are a great choice for those who wish the roominess/size/safety of an SUV. Yet enjoy the feel and the nimbler handling characteristics of a four door full-size sedan/wagon. I highly recommend this car.

Going to get it to 300k.

I bought this car in February of ‘13. I honestly wanted nothing to do with a bigger car but my wife convinced me to buy it. Since then I’ve put 80k miles on it & I'm super satisfied. Handles nicely, It’s very reliable & I actually enjoy driving it. Fuel economy could be better for its size but it’s not terrible. Tons of space in the car!!! I’m not a huge guy but not small either (5’11 215) & there’s plenty of space for 4 adults my size. I almost bought a new car a few months ago but with the reliability of this car, I decided not to. I’m going to keep this for another 7-10 years.

My First 1,000 Miles in Venza

I just went over 1,000.00 miles on my 2014 Venza XLE FWD V6 after owning the car for 20 days. The most impressive thing about this vehicle is the 3.5 L V6. It is powerful, relatively quiet and works seamlessly with the 6 speed automatic transmission. I am averaging just over 20 mpg in mostly city driving thus far. I have observed up to 30 mpg on the computer in short highway trips traveling at 60 and 70 mph. (Hopefully these figures will improve even further as the engine gets fully broken in). The only negative that I need to write about is the jarring ride on rough pavement. Toyota must do a better job tuning the suspension to complement the 20 in. wheels. I like the roomy cabin.
