The Venza was discontinued in 2015 and wish I would have known this before purchasing the 2014 model in August 2014. I suppose they were anxious to sell but would have been nice to know. Also, the AWD model is underpowered with a the 4 cylinder engine and cruise control on the highway is very jerky on hills so should have bought the 6 cylinder. There are also several little quirks such as the sunroof not fully opening and stopping when closing, USB cable dropping down from the docking station, window wind noise on the highway, unreadable navigation display in the sunlight, gas mileage lower than the advertised sticker and door locks not all opening simultaneously.

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.

Purchased 2014 XLE AWD model used with 80k miles. The reliability ratings for this vehicle is the reason I bought it. Love the exterior look with the 19" wheels and wagon body. While driving, there are creeks and plastic sounding noises coming from and around dash windshield area. It makes me realize how cheaply this car may be put together. I've replaced rear rusted struts but this is a time replaceable part that wasn't a large expense. I wish it were v6 but I have 1AR-FE 4 cyl engine, which has great reliability ratings too.
