XLE 4cyl with premuium xle pkg had the panoramic roof leather jBL radio. GREAT...room seats , in and out, comfortable for both small and tall people 5 ft- 6-1. the seats are surprisingly well set. glass area for view is very good to see around for visibility. 22 MPG-24 Oct to April. 24-27 April to October in Wisconsin, Bought it used 76000 miles DEC 2020. Now at FEB 23 just over 2 years. No problems but I did all of the TOYOTA recommended maint. brake/coolant/AWD plugs fluids lubes etc. NO problems. nice drive great view. A few picky things would be...heater could blow more on the highest setting. Window areas need more time to defog. The platstic doors/ black scuff or shoe scuffs easily over time. The dash has a non shiney texture to it but generally a bit shiny...could have more touch soft surfaces and a different finish texture...It looks nice but holding up over time,,,could be different...its not cheep but it gives that impression...It really is like a Wagon SUV car all in one...really nice...to bad the New version is no like the old one...quiet...handles a bit more on the old big car feel.....gee its just a good solid vehicle...wish I could get with Toyota to fine tune it a bit more but the concept of this style is a real winner. 96000 mile now. Now Aug 2023 102000 all of the std scheduled maintenance is complete.The AC system seems to hold a lot of moisture. 25.3 ave since April. No problems still a nice vehicle.

Overall good grandparent station wagon. 2.7 engine is not as bad as some reviews say. Drivers leg/ foot room is not great. The emergency brake is engaged by foot pedal and takes up room from what is already a tight space. Averaging 22.3 mpg mixed driving . Don't even use entune since the stopped supporting pandora and other apps. Trim and interior really are cheap ,low quality. Still a good ride!

2013 Toyota Venza XLE V6 AWD

Traded my 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited for the Venza AWD...I love it ! I call it a baby Highlander ! The Golden Umber Mica is a sharp, beautiful color that gets many comments ! The ride is smooth and very quiet. The engine purrs just like the Highlander, as the V6 is the same. The comfort and roomy interior is wonderful, and it's a fun car to drive ! The fit and finish seems to have improved in the 2013 , as mine is wonderful looking. Test drive a Venza...you will love it !

LE 4dr Wagon AWD (2.7L 4cyl 6A)

The engine, AWD, break, etc lights are all on the first year. Toyota fixed it for three time to get it right, and replace two parts. This car is No good in cold winter and snow. If you drive out after the snow, you will feel the car is shaking heavy, like it's going to collapse; you can only drive to 50 mph at the time, if you drive over 50 mph the shaking is very bad. The second year, the check engine, and AWD lights are on and off, the day you bring to the dealer, the lights may off, but the warming lights are back on next day. Lucky this time they seen it, and repair for you. The Japanese car are very light weight, it is very uncomfortable ride, it hurt your back, and back pain continually, you will feel rumbling, bouncing, shaking, swaying when you are driving or sitting in the car. You will here metal scratch noise sometimes, I thought it's the break, the mechanic checked the car, it's not from the break, it mystery noise. The Japanese car is poor quality now.
