Car looks good, easy ingress and egress, rear area holds a lot of cargo or large dog.

My favorite vehicle ever!
I have a 2012 toyota venza xle. It is a crossover and is midsize. I have loved my car since we bought it in 2013. I have never had to replace or repair anything other than regular maintenance. The milage that it gets is not very great but I am fine with the 21 city/25 highway. It has a lot of bells and whistles on it and everything still works fine. My favorite add-ons is my sunroof and the heated leather seats. It has a 12 speaker sound system that even my kids love. The cd player holds three cds and it is bluetooth enabled. It has a nice navigation system that has a great display.

Pros and cons of this year model.
It is very economic and you get good gas mileage. One of the problems that does occur in the model of that year. Is that the engine overheats causing the car to turn off. That can be fixed easily by putting a ventilator that cools the engine. At least that worked for my car.

Toyota Venza: great reliable car for a family and travel.
Problems: has been driven a lot. Performance: has been so great! It has been used multiple times for travel and work across the Midwest. Reliable and safe, comfortable, white is the best color. Features of a typical car. Like that it has a CD player but is not old looking.

Great 2012 Toyota Venza!!
I have had no problems with the car I love it. I have had it for about 4 years and only had to keep up general maintenance. I have took lots of road trips in it. Overall the car is very reliable.The only thing I dislike about the car would be how small the back up camera is.

Toyota Venza: safety for the long haul.
The Toyota Venza my family has been using for years has gotten us back and forth from numerous vacations and trips safely. There have been wrecks from time to time, but the Venza has kept the family safe whenever there was a situation. The comfort of the Venza has always been high, especially during long car-rides.

Roomy but not too big for a growing family of 5!
Roomy but not too big, great flexibility with rear seats. Fits 2 car seats comfortably with room for a slender adult in the middle! Great visibility with windows, no annoying blind spots makes me feel safe. Super reliable, gets the job done with performance.

Great care for the price.
The car is comfortable, roomy, quick and enjoy the ride. Also easy to maintain although I with they still made the Venza. Except for the door locks breaking there have been no major issues with the car. It just hit 120k miles and still running strong.

Great family car! Love it. Wish they hadn't discontinued!
I love my Venza! It has leather seats and is almost like a station wagon. It does not have the moonroof I wish I had got one with a moonroof. I do really like the interior and how comfortable the seats are. The Bluetooth works really well and in famous Toyota fashion the cruise control is in the same spot on every car. The trunk has enough space for what we need. My husband is very tall and this car his head does not hit the ceiling.

Made to cruise the roads. Such a great comfortable car. Good mileage per tank.
Love the setting on the seats. The smooth feeling of the ride. The leg room and just overall space of the whole car. Wished the seats had warm /cooling seats.

Amazingly reliable- over 100,000 miles and no issues!
It is very reliable and I have never had an issue, besides the usual wear and tear. The seats are very comfortable, and there's a ton of space in the back for luggage (I travel a lot). My main issue with the car is the clearance. It is AWD but does not have very high clearance, which can be an issue here in Colorado on dirt roads.

This vehicle has a great body and engine.
This vehicle doesn't have any problems at all. It has a 3.8 v6 engine and is very fast. The only problem I could I could say about this vehicle is, it burns a lot of gas. Honestly I have to put gas in it every other day, but it's still very enjoyable you drive everyday.
Sheri A
on January 16, 2021
It's a good car for the price.
The only complaint I have, the gas tank is not large enough. It is a very roomy car that is what I love about it, middle section plenty of room for tall people. Middle seat calls down makes it very convenient to haul things around.

The average car with tons of space!
This vehicle is over all amazing including, the sound system, the way it drives, amount of space in it, and myself and my passengers always feel safe. There is a tiny back up camera that is on the dashboard that could be improved because it is difficult to see in certain lightings but, that is my overall complaint.

I will forever love my Venza.
I love my car. I have had 0 issues with it even after putting ~100,000 miles on it. With regular maintenance I am sure I will be able to put at least another 100,000 miles on it. It is very comfortable to ride in and has a smooth ride. The trunk space is enormous and is the perfect family car.
Kristina R
on December 15, 2020
Amazing vehicle with awesome fuel efficiency.
Very comfortable ride, drives smooth and very fuel efficient. Power windows, doors, seats which make it very easy to maneuver. Easy fold down 2nd row seats which makes hauling stuff a lot more easy. Heated seats for when it is cold outside or when you ache or hurt. Cruise control makes long trips more comfortable.
Val R
on October 31, 2020
Comfortable for long trips
The Venza is a very comfortable ride. It's like a cross-over that drives like a car. The seating is roomy for 4 adults, with good storage in back. It's great for long drives 5-6 hours, and I have back problems. I wish the Venza had not been discontinued.

Spacious, roomy, overall enjoyable.
This vehicle is very spacious and roomy it lasts for a long time and has a great quality. I truly enjoy this vehicle it is the perfect fit and I hope somebody else can enjoy it just as much as I have over all of these years and I hope people can come to agree on my opinion.

Fast, reliable, pickup nice, comfortable vehicle, gas saver.
Comfortable, reliable and gas savings, roomy. I love the way the car drive pretty smooth. Economic car and safe secure car and spacey. The color is nice and the interior is beautiful. Speed is not too bad with the 4 cylinder SUV. The gas saver if you like to drive to work and pick up your family. Convenience in the trunk also for you to buy groceries that fit.

Good gas mileage. Good room. Reliable.
Vehicle has been reliable now for 8 years. Leather seats have worn out however, but seat covers fix that. Decent gas mileage. Good cargo space. Downside is the horsepower. Not much in the way of that. Merging into traffic on a busy highway has you rocking forward in hopes to gain a little speed..

Versatility, performance, and comfort in a crossover sedan
I like the size of the Venda, it's got a comfortable backseat for guests and the back are is easier to load and unload than a regular trunk. The v-6 engine has lots of power to make it easy to merge on the interstate. Happy with the quality and how well it is holding up. Like the way it handles and it has good visibility when backing up. No drawbacks really, except miles per gallon could be higher.

My Toyota is my family's old faithful.
I have never had a more reliable car with minimal issues and minimal maintenance. Aside from replacing tires and a battery, I have been driving my Toyota for 7 years. It is my family car and we take it on many family vacations. The gas mileage is incredible and it is spacious especially in the back. I love how quickly my heat and ac turn on.
Belinda B

It is a great family car. It's reliable and I would recommend it to anyone with young kids
I like the comfort and the smooth ride. It feels safe and I like to drive my family in it. The only thing I dislike is that it is harder to park than my last car.

It is easy to drive. There are some blind spots but overall the view is good.

That it drives good in the winter.
No real complaints about my vehicle. It is reliable, good in snow, comfortable. Just wished it looked a little more like an SUV.
Eva F

Great option to a minivan.
I love the spaciousness of the vehicle and how family-friendly it is. The storage is well-thought out. It is zippy for a car of this size -- even when loaded with kids and cargo, it does not drag. Turning radius is terrible, and I'd like better gas mileage.
Justin T
on July 6, 2020
5 stars for Reliability and Comfort
The pick up of the Venza is rather slow. Once you put effort on the gas pedal, you jolt forward. The 4 cylinder is just eh. I would rather have it in a V6, if that was even an option. It was my wife's purchase. We don't drive my truck that often. But, other than that, it is comfortable and reliable. The back up camera is so small that I can't see it. Good gas mileage and fits our family of 3 and our dogs perfectly!

The vehicle is great when it drives and is fast. It is smooth yet comfortable. It has an automatic trunk opener that I absolutely love! And best of all, it's a smart car.
The smooth drive, the speed, the leather seats and space, the automatic trunk, the backup view. The sunroof and moonroof. Love the smart car feature. Love the surround sound system.

Toyota: a nice little ride for a small family!
The mileage is not great, but it is not too bad for an SUV. It is very reliable! It sends certain sounds and icons on your dashboard to let you know if you have a problem. It is pretty comfortable for a family of 3. It has heated seats, which are great for the winter. When your start the car, you have to push down on the brake and then push a button to start it up, so there is not any key to push into the ignition. The trunk will open automatically with a push of a button, either on the key ring or inside the driver side and you can push a button on the trunk so it can close automatically. It has front wheel drive, so that can also help in the winter. It is a great vehicle to have and trustworthy like other Toyota's that we have had.

Toyota Venza review of comfort.
Zero problems in the time I have owned my vehicle, very spacious and comfortable with a great quality sound system. A/c has been wonderful and haven't had issues with it while driving on the highways like the other vehicles I have used in the past. Overall a great vehicle to own especially when you have younger children to take care of.

It could get better gas mileage. Also since it is pretty large it does not take corners very well.

Toyota best vehicles ever.
I love my Venza, it is good on gas and no major problems. I would recommend to anyone looking for this style of vehicle. It has heated seats and a CD player. Back up camera cruise control. Can sit 6 people comfortably. I have had a Toyota tercel years ago a Toyota Camry and now a Venza.
Andeea O

I would say it is a good vehicle for the price.
I have had the vehicle for only a few short months. As a whole it is a reliable vehicle, it has a large backseat and cargo area. Great gas mileage and overall easy to drive. I would say it is a great small family vehicle. It has easy to clean cargo area. With hard plastic area.
Stacy M
on January 30, 2020
Great for family road trips.
The Venza is a very reliable vehicle. It is large enough for a family but is not too big to drive easily. It gets fairly good gas mileage for its size and it is actually pretty cute as well. I love how the back seats recline, that has been a major plus for road trips. It is also easy to snap car seats into, the back seats are level and the anchors are easily accessible.
Lori W

It's a Perfect Combination
I love my Toyota Venza! I always say that if I hit the lottery I'd still drive my Venza. It's the perfect combination of car and SUV. Easy to get in and out of. Very comfortable. Drives like a dream. Great blue color. Only one complaint - my backup camera does not talk to me so I don'; t know how close I am to objects. I was very sorry to hear that Toyota stopped manufacturing the Venza because I would definitely buy another one.
Christine C
on January 28, 2020
Love it! Wish they still made them!
It is comfortable but not too big. It is the perfect size for commuting to work and traveling with 2 adults and 6 dogs. It rides smoothly and looks sleek. I have had no issues and it is 8 years old. It still looks and drives like when I purchased it. The only issue is the ac is slow because it is very open inside due to the hatchback.
Mary T

Great speed. Comfortable. Easy handle, smooth ride great on gas. Spacious trunk.
Very comfortable. Compact driver seat. Great trunk. Massive space. Easy to drive. Smooth on highway. Great sound system. Connects to Bluetooth. 1 thing I do not like it if you do not put on your seatbelt right away there’s an alarm sound. Real annoying once you buckle in it stops.

2012 blue Toyota all powered.
My vehicle has a weird shape but I do love the way it handles and runs very smoothly. I wish it sat a little higher. It has tons of trunk space which I use quite a bit and plenty of legroom for the back seat. It has rear view camera that comes in handle when trying to park and also a nice Bluetooth system.

The great mileage is a big plus, travelling every day it helps to have good gas efficiency.
To start off the car has great mileage. Next the seating is quite open and roomy. Finally the overall smooth speed and deceleration of the vehicle is one of the best I've ever owned.

Venza is a great car for daily use and it isn't expensive at all.
The Toyota Venza is a great car. This car is very strong and it has been in my family for 8 years. Venza has not given us any useless repair expenses expect the usual services and tire and brake changes. All the services we have got on this car is from the Toyota. It has been 8 years and we only changed the breaks once and tires has been rotated twice and changed once. This is a an everyday car.

Very dependable and comfortable vehicle.
This vehicle is very comfortable on long trips. It rides smooth and gets good fuel mileage on city and highway. There is a lot of legroom for driver and all passengers. I really enjoy the back seats fold down to have lots of cargo room when needed. I bought this vehicle used about 2 years ago and I have had to do just basic maintenance on this vehicle since I have owned it.
Mary E

Perfect car if you like a lot of room and ease of Entry and exit.
My Venza has a lot of room, plenty of back seat leg room. I have not had any problems with the car. I love that the driver seat is a perfect height to get in and out. You don't have to climb up into it or down into it, easy for bad knees. Rides very comfortably long trips or short. If they still made the Venza I would absolutely buy another one. Service has also been great.

2012 Toyota Venza, a great looking car that is good on saving on gas.
The Toyota Venza is a very reliable car, really good on gas. Interior and exterior of the car is really nice and it is a great family car. A lot of trunk space. Wish it had more power but who races in a family crossover? Just an overall amazing car to have when you want something reliable and nice looking.

Gets great gas mileage and that is the prettiest color car anywhere!
I was a commuter for approximately 38 years and drove almost exclusively Toyota SUVs or crossovers. -- 9 to be exact. Toyotas are so dependable and hold their value, and I have been extremely happy with everyone I have ever purchased, and unless something drastic happens, I will certainly another one in the future.

Great car, great color, easy to up keep.
I love my Toyota venza. We bought it back in 2012 brand new. It has be the best car we have ever bought. We love the color and style. We have had to buy only one set of tires and very low maintenance. We have people stop and ask what kind of car and the color. We couldn't have bought a better car. We have about 116,000 miles on it and it still drives great. I think all of our cars have been Toyota's.
