Glass roof heat monster

2013 Toyota Venza XLE 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The roof is almost entirely glass (hail, hail Ceaser), heat monster, no memory seat (position 1 or 2), leather not perforated for cooling. A bit too much road noise as well just driving on typical road surfaces.

The Radio

I have had my 2013 Venza for a month now. It's a great car, but, two complaints. The Buick SUV I traded in rode much better and was much quieter. First complaint - the radio - my goodness, what a tinny sounding unit (not the JBL). Tried all the settings with no great improvement. My new Ford Escape has a much better radio. Other complaint - rough ride and noisier than my American cars. Sure seems like the much vaunted Toyota could do better than this. Will probably go back to American brands after this. If you are looking only at Toyota - look at a couple American brands - you might change your mind.

Nice comfortable wagon for senior. High enough to be easy to get out of. Never a single problem with it. I am a Toyota fan.

Spacious, but a bit underpowered

2013 Toyota Venza LE 4dr Wagon AWD (2.7L 4cyl 6A)

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.
STILL LOVE MY VEHICLE

I purchased my 2013 in 2012. After looking, comparing, reseaching. I first noticed the sleek look of the Venza. After i did a test drive, i was hooked. I can't find but one thing wrong with the Venza. When the music is up the interior is rattling like someone is shaking the vehicle. Other then that, i love the smooth ride and comfortability the Venza has. I have not drove it in the snow only because how bad other drivers are. I drive my other really nice vehicle, Nissan Altima. I'm still in aw on how pretty my Venza look. I'm too sorry Toyota stop production on this vehicle. I did not see any other vehicle that Toyota has that either i can afford or want. This would had been the first vehicle that i would have replaced with the same type. When i do replace my Venza will look elsewhere. I have low milage on my Venza. I hope to have for a while. I have awd, i don't feel like my Venza s using a lot of gas.
