My first Venza was a 2011. Loved it! My second Venza was a 2015. Also loved it. In fact, it saved my life and limbs during a total crash in 2016. My 3rd one is the 2022 XLE AWD hybrid which I purchased in December 2022. I have had it for 1 full year. It's ok, but just ok. I love the safety features, and the MPG is decent. I love the slightly cushioned touch points on the doors. Most of all, I absolutely loved my salesperson. Here's what changed about the vehicle and why I do not love it: poor head room is my #1 gripe. I frequently hit my head on the driver's side handle above the door. If I have my sunglasses and eyeglasses on the visor I often hit my head on it as well. My husband likes the car but does not desire to drive it because of this one problem. Plus I have to cock my head to the side a lot just to get in the vehicle, or else I will hit my head against the door frame. Been there done that way too many times. The height of the driver side window is so low that I can't comfortably do transactions at an ATM from the car, and I'm only 5'4". Yes, I can telescope my seat up and down, but why do I need to do that when I haven't needed to do it any other model, or any other vehicle for that matter? This Venza does not offer that extended leg room like normal vehicles. My husband finds this a bit uncomfortable because the seats do not glide back far enough as with most other vehicles, and he's only 5"11. Weird, right? Also, I can't see far down the road at night with those regular headlights as I did with the previous Venzas. Are they slightly angled downward? Again, weird. I ALWAYS have to use high beams just to see an appropriate distance down the road, which should be a normal headlight functionality. So odd. Things do not fit under the seat as easily anymore. That space has narrowed quite as bit. Also the space between the seat and console is extremely narrow. If I drop something between the seats, it's difficult or next to impossible to access or clean that area. The seating is comfortable but crampy to the point where it's sometimes difficult to get my hand between the seat and the door to access the seat controls on driver side. If I have a winter coat on, forget it. My arm doesn't fit at all, and I am not obese. I must open the door just to get access to seat controls. Is it me, or have CUVs/SUVs gotten smaller? It's a great ride but for me, Toyota lost points on these changes. There are several more points, but I leave this last one. I have the clear plastic coating on the front of the car and side mirrors. Cleaning the hood has made it easier. However, in less than a year, that clear plastic coating has warped on the side mirrors and needs to be smoothed out again. It's been just short of a hellish experience trying to get Toyota to figure out if that's covered under warranty. I swore I would be a Toyota fan for life, but I am falling out of love with the Venza, and I'm about to trade it. I love Toyota, and always will; however, this new and not so improved Venza makes me sad.

The Venza really caught our eye on the lot. It had many posh features, including a dimmable glass roof, heads up display, heated and cooled seats, among many other things. I thought I could just get used to the infotainment system, which initially seemed a bit difficult. After a few months, I find the vague floaty ride to be boring. The panoramic roof, while lovely, the dimming feature seems a bit pointless after a few months. Most of all, I loathe the infotainment system. I just find very little logic to it. The worst part is that there are no physical buttons or dials. The car features a seemingly cool 360 camera that activates each time you come to a stop. The camera overtakes the entire screen and cancels any and all functions that the driver or passenger may have been navigating at the time. The majority of the time, the automatic camera is a lovely feature, but those times where it cancels whatever action you were navigating on the screen, it is nothing short of maddening. Is there a lot to like about the Venza? Sure. Is it mind-numbingly boring to drive? Most definitely.

It is not as roomy as my 2013 I had. Not as passenger friendly,fewer little pockets for misalaneou items,rear compartment not as roomy. I rate it fair, But the gas milage is much better I think
All around Practical Suv even with the LE trim
