Best car we have ever owned so fat car

'We have owned out 2022 xle now for seven mo. and so far, it has been all that I expected. I have 8000 miles on it and the MPG keeps getting better. I do drive in ECO mode all the time with no lack of power in my opinion. Navigation would have been nice at this price level but not worth the extra $2000. I installed a Garmon that does all that for me and take it out when we are not traveling. We just returned from a 2000-mile trip and MPG was 46 even at 75 to 80 MPH at times. The ride and handling was more than expected. As for disappointments no power for the passenger side seating and the OEM tires {in the winter} is an issue. I will defiantly have to replace them this winter season with all-weather tires. We live in Pa and snow does not cope well with the summer tires. That said in dry road conditions they are just fine, no problem there. I am hoping the battery will last as advertised. Verry Happy and would purchase it again. UPDATE: After a lot of thought and a long search I porched a 2022 Venza XLE. This is my first hybrid but my 5th Toyota. I am very pleased with the quality of the car as well as the MPG, ride , quietness, and handling of the car. The only change I am making is new tires. Winter is about to arrive, and the OEM Bridgestone tires are not ample for western Pa snow. In the summer the tires performed very well but no traction in snow season. The add on for connection to alerts of $8 per mo., after one year is very disappointing and should not be a charge on a $38,000 car. I am also not a fan of a 10,000-mile oil change. All that said the car is the nicest one I have ever owned and plan to keep it for the remainder of my life. Well done, Toyota. Don D

Pros: 1. Firm but smooth ride, and notable sound insulation improvement over the Rav. It baffles me to see complaints on the loud engine under acceleration. I think the hybrid engine is a buttery smooth. 2. Elegant exterior design. 3. Unexpected comfort and entry level luxury. 3. Japanese built quality. Cons: 1. Botton-less ventilation controls. Both RAV4 and Venza LE gets real buttons so why did you have to curse the Limited model with the button-less abomination. 2. Small cargo space. There could easily be more cargo volume but that would obviously cannibalize Rav4's sales. Summary, Venza is an all wheel drive Camry - comfortable and reliable. It should be on the short list for someone who wants a drama free, entry level luxury ride, with limited cargo capacity but not the maintenance drama.

I have a 2023 Toyota Venza XLE - it is magnificent. There are some blind spots to get use to - but electronics take care of that - plenty of luggage space for 2 - feels like you are in a cockpit of a fighter jet / beautiful interior & the 12.3 display is fantastic. Gas mileage on a long trip 45-50 mpg!

I bought the Venza 2 months ago and I’m loving it. Toyota reliability and price with Lexus luxury. Quiet, smooth, quick enough with a very comfortable driving experience. This does not have a sports car feel but is a very comfortable and spacious enough highway cruiser.

Great Car - Luxury Feel

This car is hands down the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven! A Lexus for a Toyota price. Great mileage, quiet, responsive, and loaded with tech. For an older driver the safety gear is incredibly helpful and makes for a feeling of security.
