Best I've ever own

2013 Toyota Venza LE 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
Going to get it to 300k.

2013 Toyota Venza LE 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
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.
Equal Pros and Cons... But It's Not for Me

2013 Toyota Venza LE 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
The Venza is a good alternative to buying a Rav4, if you're looking for Toyota quality and similar features. However, there are some marked pros and cons:
PROS:
Very reliable
Excellent acceleration with the V6
More leg room, especially in the back seat, than most vehicles
Unique styling and not oversold like Camrys, Highlanders, and Rav4s
Surprisingly good amount of cargo space …
CONS:
Very harsh ride, especially with the 20" rims
Poor field of view adds to hesitation while driving
Wide front end makes the car drive "bigger" than it is
Wind noise is unacceptable for a Toyota
Paint quality is worse than any of the seven Toyotas I have owned
It's been a frustrating experience for me because there is a lot to like, but I cannot get over the rigid feel of very bump in the road. Having owned a 2005 Sienna, 2002 Tacoma, and 2007 Rx350, I can easily say this vehicle is the most uncomfortable driving experience. The styling of the Venza is subjective as some seem to hate the look and others like it. I like the look, except for the pumpkin styled lights on the rear. I ejoy the fast acceleration with it and it gets 20 mpg overall, but I cannot stand being unable to see clearly around me and not get a good feel for the vehicle. It has held up well, but for me, it will be up for sale in the near future.
