Built well and is safe. No problems since I bought this vehicle. Love it.
Looks and drives great. Rides like a Camry. Built well and have only had maintenance done on it. Wish they still made them because I would buy another one!

This car has no problem pulling into traffic it is a winner!
This car has been a dream, we have not had any mechanical issues and it is a pleasure to drive. Originally the 2008 Toyota tundra was the main vehicle but since we retired the Venza is the main vehicle. The windows are a nice size and the car has the sports package so it is looking pretty good in comparison to cars that are of a later year like 2015 to 2020. Love the sport wheels and the dual exhaust. The factory radio is super with acceptable bass. The leather seats are still looking good and holding up great. The seats are comfortable and just the right size for an average person. Compared a 4 cylinder to a six, the 6 cylinder used less gas to the mile and was much faster out of the hole,

Toyota the best and it is smooth to drive.
I am in love with my car. It has a lot of storage in trunk and back seats can provide extra storage. When driving this car it is smooth and comfortable. Also this car is good on gas which is 16 mpg in city and 26 mpg on highways. Toyota Venza provide Bluetooth and different features when it comes to listen to music.

It's a V6 with all wheel drive, great in the snow & good on gas
I like the size of the vehicle overall... Not too long & not too tall. I like the features & how it runs. I dislike that Toyota does not make the Venza anymore! & I dislike that it does not seat 7

My Toyota is spacious and reliable.
Not much, it is an older car, so just the basic maintenance problem. I take in for maintenance regular and had no problem.

Toyota Venza spacious family car.
I love that my Venza has great fuel economy, the seats are spacious and comfy unlike most newer cars, and that it is bigger than a sedan, but smaller than an SUV. The two moon roofs are fun for both front seat and back seat passengers, and there’s plenty of trunk space.
accountCircle Kat F
Very spacious and drives great. It's a great car to drive cross country.
It is very reliable. The trunk space is very spacious and more importantly, the seat space is also very spacious. There is so much leg room for all 5 passenger seats.

Good in gas. Enough space for 5
It's good in gas and has awesome trunk space. Have not really had a lot of trouble from it. It's a good car for everyday driving
accountCircle khalid A
Reliable but not fashionable.
Reliable, just not as fashionable. It is not the best looking car, but if I were to trade it in for something better I’d have to seriously consider. The model/look of the car is not atrocious, but being around it for so long becomes a little tiring if I do say so myself.

Toyota Venza 2010, works just fine with a slight engine problem.
A slight problem with the engine like when I drive, it jerks after every stop I make but it is good on the freeway. There’s a lot of mileage on it but it still runs good. Every stop I make, after I release the gas, it will be good but it jerks after every light, stop sign or stop I make and it is kind of annoying.
accountCircle Sherie A
Toyota is one of the most reliable brands of car on the road today.
I really don't have an opinion about my car. We kinda got bullied into buying it at the dealership. I do like that it's a Toyota. But it has had a few issues with needing repairs. Other than that I feel pretty neutral about it.

My vehicle is very comfortable, but gets terrible gas mileage.
My 2010 Toyota Prius is perfect when it comes to moving. It is very spacious especially when you lay the seats flat. However, it gets terrible gas mileage. On average, it gets about 20-22 miles per gallon. It is very comfortable to drive and ride in.

2010 Toyota Venza. I didn't know that it is a wagon.
Front brakes and suspension problems. The cloth interior stains with water so when it is cleaned it is best to scotchgard. Love the style and color and wheel combo. I am doing minor upgrades like led lighting. Mechanical sound as so far easily to maintain.
accountCircle Cory P on May 6, 2021
Good reliable family vehicle.
Car runs great and is very reliable. Never had any issues as long as standard routine maintenance is completed. Good mileage for the size of vehicle and spacious cabin. Has worked great for having kids and seats go down for easy storage space. Very happy with the vehicle.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sveta F.

Very spacious, lots of legroom, great family car, large trunk space, drives like a cloud, lots of power under the hood. Maneuverability is amazing, turns like a sedan, handles like an SUV. Wide seats, very luxurious, has lots of cup holders and storage space in the arm console. Has a place for your glasses and garage door opener. Also comes equipped with darkening rear view mirror to avoid bright lights from behind.

likeFilled Akiva R.

Tons of space, good size, trunk space, sound system. It is a smooth drive, high up enough and it makes you feel safe. Great for long drives, it is a very comfy and spacious vehicle. Powerful engine, it will not let you down.

likeFilled Alaynna S.

It has good gas mileage and it is really dependable. I would totally buy this car again, they do not make it anymore, but if they did I would most certainly buy a newer version. This was my first car and it had been a great first car. It makes me feel safe and everyone loves it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sveta F.

Insurance policy for an SUV and tires are customer size so they are just a bit pricier but not too bad. Cannot put seat covers on front seats because of side airbags. It is good at absorbing impact, but the touch up color is hard to match up.

dislikeFilled Akiva R.

The car is wide, sometimes hard to find parking. There is no rear/backup camera. It is a bit of a gas guzzler, but so are other large vehicles. The miles per gallon are Not the best, about 15-18 mpg as the years go on.

dislikeFilled Alaynna S.

Sometimes I feel as though my vehicle does not have enough power. But that is just because I like to drive super fast very quickly and I feel as though my vehicle can not keep up. I don't really have any other problems with my car.
