Used 2014 Toyota Venza Consumer Reviews
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.

So good they discontinued it
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.

Brakes
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.

Towing Prep
Looking at 2013 Toy Venza w tow prep but very few have towing prep package for up to 3500# Also light & trailer brakes need to be wired, no prep for it. Owners tow w everything else, why not the Venza? Thx
