so many small issues
Overall is good. While I already got the limited trim and passenger seat can be adjusted by button, but why I can't adjust the height of it? All my friends and family when they enter the sit the seat they all feel uncomfortable about the height there and their head almostly hit the roof lol. Secondly, the digital rear view camera. 5/10 times I have to maunally turn it off and turn it on or the screen won't working. I'm pretty mad about it because I just got it brand new for about only one month! And my sales told me that it is pretty common among all the venza owners because of the shortage of toyota production, the toyota rush to produce and handover the car to the customer, so it's just a small bug, while toyota canada made no response towards that... Me: wtf?? Last but not least, it's every time when I brake on the bumpy road I can always hear the nosie at the bottom. It sounds like my bottom was scratched by something I don't know and I can feel my brake lagging a little bit. Although I bring my car to the dealer, the mechanic there didn't find anything wrong about it.... So I decide to come to another toyota dealer again to check about it. Have to say 0/10

Loud
10k miles in, my biggest impression is that this is the loudest vehicle we’ve had since purchasing our 2012 Prius V. It is so loud, I no longer like to drive it at all. I also drive a Ford Maverick Lariat hybrid, which is much quieter, and, oddly, has more pick up than our trusty Venza. It’s bad enough that, although we love looks, styling, and comfort, we either need to invest in new tires, or sell the dang thing. No point in having a vehicle you can’t stand to drive.

Disappointed
Boy, what a disappointment. Should have examined and driven it more. Very complicated "hitech" controls, useless screens, poor visibility among other things. Miss my 2008 Avalon, Toyotas version of a Cadillac with reasonably good mileage.

Not a 2008 Highlander
Hybrid tech is a hoot. It has been two years now, still haven't cracked 10,000 miles. Toyota offers free scheduled maintenance up to 15,000 miles or two years. At the 5,000 mile point I was no where near 5,000 miles but would have liked an oil change. They refused to do it. Many suggest the wisdom of an oil change 1,000 miles on anew car. After some back and forth they changed the oil when the 10,000 mile check came do and I had less than the 10 and not quite 5,000 on the odometer. Doesn't Toyota reimburse the dealership to the cost of "free" services? It is a lease so next year they may get it back. It probably won't have 15,000 miles yet. They didn't change the oil at the 15,000 mile free maintenance in July. Their argument is it is wasteful to change 5,000 mile synthetic oil before 5,000. It is no skin off their teeth, I offered to pay for the oil. Are they reporting these maintenance cycles to Toyota as "completed"? The Senza middle line trim is a Lexus in disguise. Built in Japan (long boat ride to New York) it reeks of the cultural attention to details and quality. The driving I do often shows on the screen as averaging 50 mpg between electric and the 4 cylinder ice. Can't beat that. And on the interstate on ramp it scoots to 60 in less than 6 seconds. Speed limit on I81 is 70, just about everyone is going 75 to 80 so you can't meander. I just may keep it at lease end, and change oil on my schedule.
