Yeah, Toyota's interior quality has gone down since the 90's for sure, but I would rather the dome light fall off than the engine failing like it would in an American or European car. Honda and Toyota still make the best cars.
I still have 2013 LE V6 Venza... Now it is over 100,000 miles and there is no problem besides regular maintenance... It is great and comfortable for a long-distance drive like from FL to NY and back (8 times now)... I will keep it until it dies or as long as I don't have to spend tons of money on it...
You probably dont care but if you're bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last days =)
I have a 2013. bought this time last year and I absolutely love it. before the venza I owed a RAV4 and murano before that. loved the murano but not as much as the VENZA. absolutely hated the RAV4.
The Venza is a nice car. It IS good for road trips, and is wider than the Camry. If you want a vehicle that is wider than the Rav4, and don't want the size or the need to step up into a vehicle, the Venza fits the bill nicely. However, if your OCD will be activated by the ill-fitting dash panels, don't buy it! I thought that Toyota would have addressed this by now. We had an I-4 AWD (leased '09) that handled well here in Michigan winters, and is on my list when my Rav4 lease is up.
Great review as always Craig. Please review the 2013 Crosstour V6. It takes an honest and thorough reviewer like yourself to reveal the truth about that crossover.
Awesome car for me! If you don’t like the Venza, then you never owned one! The V6 is the best. For the record, the Venza with discontinued in 2016 because it was cutting Into Lexus RX350 Sales! Built on same platform.
I own 2012 XLE V6 AWD . this Vehicle is super Reliable smooth power engine and the trans is amazing .. despite the fact of all the negative of the interior design he mentioned . but man it is not as bad really a lot of people don't know what it is at first .. their question is .. what kind a Toyota ? I bought it wiht48K on it 10 month ago .. and you know what .. it took me three failed attamed buy before I finally landed mine . every time for three time I will be driving to the dealer .. and they call me to tell me its sold most of them were like two hours drive one way.. first one was at Lexus dealer the second one was at Volvo dealer .. finally I drove 6 hours round trip up on a word trust between me and awesome dealer from Boston Massachusetts .. very happy with the Vehicle .. the only real con is gas mileage in my Venza info Display shows average gas mileage 19Mpg Or 20 ..
The venza is dope. I own one the limited. It handles great, its quiet, but yes they did a shit job putting the dash together since 09. The panel gaps are so bad its embarrassing
I have 2010 V6, base trim (hate the leather seats with a passion, hard to clean, preferred cloth seats). Just hit 100,000k. Besides a slight problem with steering when parking, this car is awesome!
Knit picking review. I own a Venza for the last three years. It's the ultimate family vehicle for five. Everyone I know is happy with it. I wonder what this guy drives. Probably a first generation Neon
good video, but I dont care much about specs I care about how it feels driving, how comfortable the seats are, how much quality feeling are the materials inside, etc.
This guy has some jokes....he should stick to stand up comedy rather than do a Car Review in my opinion....He had me laughing so hard during the first 10 seconds. Grab some pop corn, sit back and get ready for some serious comedy....
The 2.7L is under powered for this sized vehicle. Once you add in the V6 the price skyrockets. 181HP for 2.7L of displacement, that IS a joke. A Venza LE, you are being charged $5220 for a cargo hatch vs a Camry LE. Apparently not too many buyers fell for this scam aye Toyota? I'd dump the Venza and make this a Camry for a Camry price. Get the weight back down and put in a DI 2.5L. Loose the stupid trunk in the Camry & dump the low selling Venza.
