This car surprises me with the spacious interior.

I love how easy the Venza is to get in and out of the vehicle and how much storage space the hatchback has once you put the back seats down. The interior is classy with leather interior and contrasting trim. All the features are luxurious and it includes an additional sunroof for the passengers. The handling is not quite as nice as other vehicles, but I feel that is a safe, reliable and comfortable vehicle to drive.

We call it our 'modern day wagon' and love all the space it has.

The Venza has plenty of room for our family. We've loaded up for cross country travels in it and loaded up to just run to the lake. Pure comfort and plenty of room each time. There have been no problems w/my car. The performance is solid without and wonky issues. It is 100% reliable. I have what I think, are all the features and love each and everyone. I do miss the Entune app connected w/my Pandora. But, that is not the car's fault. Gas mileage is great for a non-hybrid. Our other car is a hybrid and I feel like the Venza is almost comparable.

My vehicle has a moon/sunroof, which my kid loves

I love the size of my toyota venza. The cabin is very roomy, which is great for a family. It's also fuel efficient. I typically spend about $40 a week to fill up my tank.

Toyota Venza—elegant, comfortable, and practical.

The Toyota Venza is elegant and practical. Leather interior, comfortable with an 8 way adjustable electric seat, the car has most features that you'd find on a high end model, without the high end price. The only thing I do not like is apple play does not work on this model, but there is a Toyota nav system. Good sound system. Easy to use and see dashboard and music system. There is a panoramic moon roof that is gorgeous. Now for the practical: the back seats fold down and there is 6 feet of storage space in the back. It carries a lot of 'stuff' easily. The engine is a powerful v6, the car peppy and responsive to drive. Gas mileage is pretty good - about 30 mpg highway and 24 mpg in town.

It is extremely roomy, comfortable and good in snow conditions.

Love the comfort. Great leg room. Height of the car. Only dislike is temperature goes from 65 to cold.

Thu Hong N

I would have to say that the car is very spacious.

My car has a comfortable, spacious interior. The handling is very smooth and fluid. I really enjoy it and have no complaint.

Great car overall, will recommend d.

The car is very spacious, love my moon roof and sunroof. Only issue is that it takes up a lot of gas other than that the car is amazing. Have not had any problems with the vehicle since purchased. Strong and durable. It is definitely a family car, it is big little SUV.

Toyota Venza issues to consider before buying.

Dash is highly reflective on windshield, as is the steering column on the gauges. Side mirror 'blind spot assist' mirror causes additional blind spots. After 35,000 vehicle dev Ed Lopes a rattle in the dash. Stereo/navigation went out at 65,000 miles. Rough ride.

Drives nicely, reliable vehicle.

Pros: nice looking car, drives fairly well, comfortable, interior is very pretty, lot of storage space including a couple fairly hidden compartments, the back seats fold fairly easily. Cons: blind spots, the tires are an odd size so are more expensive (at least that is what the tire dealer told me), turning radius is awful, when the doors are locked and you open the hatch with the remote it does not relock when you close it. I have had the car for 4 years and just figured this out. I have always driven American cars so a few things on this threw me. The windshield wiper control is on the wrong side. The steering wheel is huge.

Rodney M

The visibility when driving.

I like the room and Bluetooth. I dislike the visibility and the vehicle is a little wider. Hard to park sometimes.

2014 Toyota Venza Flaws & Benefits

It's not extremely comfortable. The leather interior has not held up. The reliability has been good. The back seat is probably the best feature. It has a lot of room and comfortable for long trips. I drive a lot so constantly having to change the oil and it requires the synthetic blend which is more expensive.

Toyota Venza 2014, drive to fly.

I love this car. It's as if it floats when it drives. The seats are amazing. You barely need to accelerate for speed. Throughout the years we have has it, we have had no problems with it. Ac and radio work just fine. There is a spare tire that automatically comes with the car in the trunk.

Pros from Owners

Irene K.

The Venza is comfortable, gets good gas mileage, and does well in the snow, looks good! It does have low clearance so cannot drive in too deep snow. I love the Venza because it is smaller than the Highlander but larger than the RAV.

Cons from Owners

Irene K.

The dark gray exterior color shows dents, dings and scratches quite easily. The light color interior is difficult to keep clean. The low ground clearance and front scoop under bumper requires the driver to be cautious in certain situations.
