Best car we’ve ever owned we’re at 200,000 miles and

Best car we’ve ever owned we’re at 200,000 miles and still runs like new, the only thing I’ve replaced so far other than tires and battery is the starter at 175,000 miles. The one thing that keeps breaking are the sun visors,I’ve probably replaced them 3 times already,other than that it’s a very reliable car I would definitely buy one again!

Why is there so many people complaining about leaking

Why is there so many people complaining about leaking inside the car from the sunroof. Cheap naterials. Need a recall on this item. Seems like all Venza's are having the same problem.

I really love this car!

I have owned it for 4 years and still love driving it. The only repairs [and they are not really repairs] were replacing the battery and the wiper blades. The V6 has tons of power and there is a surprising amount of room to haul things when the seats are folded down. It uses a lot of fuel but that is the cost of having power and space.

My first Toyota

Bought this because of Toyota's reputation for reliability. It is very comfortable and easy to into and out of. Nice looking vehicle with an excellent sound system.

Hard to find but worth it

Venza's are no longer made. A real pity. My wife wanted an SUV like the Toyota Highlander we had. I was tired of driving an SUV, I'M tired of seeing all of the SUV's out on the road and they all look about the same. The Venza looks and drives like a car. It has AWD, and has several modern amenities. I know my wife and I will enjoy this car for years to come.

Owned for 2 years, only complaint Factory Tires

This is a very comfortable car, I drove a FWD model before this and it rode better with the smaller rim size. Recently changed all 4 tires out and greatly improved ride and wet and snow handling as well as quiter on highway. Noticed a review that said ride was rough on bad roads, it is not the vehicle, it is the OE tires that likely were replaced with same type on their vehicle, search tirerack.com reviews, I got the least aggressive All Terrain Tire and they are much better than the performance tires the vehicle came with, in every way except summer dry handling is not quite as good, but good trade off to me as rain traction was dangerous before I changes tires and they had 2/3 of their tread still on them.

best car in the world.

I have 108000 miles on my venza and i would not trade for anything else out there. It is a shame they quit making it. the performance is like was still brand new. If and I mean if it ever goes out I will search another one before i would buy anything else. I fully expect it to go past 200,000 miles.
