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.
satisfactory overall

One of the best cars I've ever owned. Have been very pleased with the performance, styling, handling, comfort. Too bad they stopped making it..... Toyota needs to rethink that decision. If buy it again in a heartbeat.

The only down side to this car is that Toyota no longer builds it. Great ride, lots of storage room, absolutely no problems with the vehicle in 60,000 miles.

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.
Sweet ride, but there are flaws

This is owning a Venza in a nutshell: It is a sweet looking ride that needs a little TLC to make great. The tires make a huge difference: Get Michelin Latitudes or something similar. Noise is a big issue in this car. The JBL Synthesis system plays plenty loud, and has some nice highs. Bass is nothing more than a muddied mess. There is no sub, so the front door woofers are asked to play sub bass instead of midbass and fail. Get a small underseat subwoofer and tie it into the system. HUGE improvement! As for the interior, it needs a LOT of sound deadening. This thing is a rattle trap. Get yourself some CCF and MLV and some CLD to put on the rattling metal. Otherwise, great engine and handles really well. Did I say how sweet it looks? And I am assuming Toyota's reputation for reliability would apply here too. It requires some work to it, but it turns this into a great car.
