2010 Toyota Venza Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Outstanding vehicle in every instance. I honestly cannot pick anything I did not like about the Venza. The Venza was a wonderful work, luxury, performance and outdoor adventure vehicle. The styling inside and out very beautiful. Completely satisfied Venza owner.

I like the appearance of the car from mostly all angles, with the worst being the rear view. The build quality on the outside is very good, but on the inside the dashboard looks cheap with the different shades, textured materials, and gaps. The seats are very comfortable and there is a lot of rear leg room. Cargo room is pretty good. The gas mileage is over 20 MPG around town which is good for the size of the car. I have over 25,000 miles on it and never had anything wrong with the vehicle. The free maintenance was a selling point but it probably didn't cost the company much since only oil changes were needed. The car's acceleration is very good but the wheels spin easily from start. Braking is also very good and the car stops in a straight line. I feel very safe in the car. It's very comfortable but not overly fun to drive.

Car has nice lines and good acceleration, but lacks the fuel economy that is expected with a 4 cylinder. The large 19" tires that come on the base model look good but can be expensive to replace and could be holding the car back in what could be better fuel economy.

This is a sporty looking crossover that is very comfortable and fun to drive. It handles well and although the power steering is electronic, it takes a little getting use to. But getting use to it comes easy and fast. The V-6 engine provides plenty of power. The rear cargo area is larger then most other cars of similar design. The stylishly design will stay for many years. I really like this car.

This is the first Toyota I have ever owned. The quality is excellent so far (still on first 1,000 miles). I'm not a big fan of the larger than normal Toyota Logo Built into the grille.....but otherwise, this is a sleek looking car. 20" wheels and Goodyear Eagle 50 series tires (S rated) come standard with the V6. The look of the car is deceiving until you are standing next to it, at which time you notice that the car and especially the wheels feel huge. Interior is well thought out and logical. Good quality feel. Nice interior lines. I like to think of this as a "Poor Man's Lexus RX350". Same engine and many of the same features, a few inches shorter in height, longer in length and wheel-base, weighing a few hundred pounds less, for around $10K less. Plenty of power with great handling (for its previously mentioned huge size). Electric assist steering takes some getting used to and lacks a lot of "feel", especially at slow speeds. The up-side of the electric assist steering is parking.....which easily done with little force to the steering wheel. Speaking of parking, the back-up camera is needed. It would have been nice to have passenger mirror dip (for parallel parking). The ride is pretty quiet, depending on the roughness of the road. Seems like some more insulation in the cargo floor is called for and that is where the road noise is coming from. As for the reported "jittery" ride reported by many reviews, I think when I wear out the Goodyear Eagles, I'll get rid of some of the jitters (which only occur on bumpy roads to begin with). I suspect that the jitters are being driven by the very stiff springs required to keep this large vehicle from wallowing like a pig. The stiff springs combined with the "hard" tires seem to create a little high frequency bouncing (Goodyear "S" Speed rated tires seem extra hard). Very fun to drive. Don't be fooled by its practicality, this is a lot of sportiness for the money. It was really hard to find one of these without all the bells and whistles. I preferred simpler options, Heated Leather only (No Nav, No Gigantic Sunroof etc.). In short, this car is unusual but good. 25,000 Mile Update: I still like everything about this car. No regrets. No serious issues. In fact, nothing has gone wrong. There are a few rattles under certain circumstances, but this was true since I bought the car. The car has held up and performed well over numerous trips. All wheel drive and ABS are a blessing on wet or snowy roads. Here are my only complaints (all pretty minor): No memory seat(s). No automatic folding side view mirrors. Poor visibility when backing up. Rear view camera helps, but I without the navigation package I only got the small camera display, with serious glare issues in the sun. "A"-Pillars obstruct view at times.

this is an excelent vehicle though it is not my baby cadilac i is still very nice. has great pep to the engine sounds amazing [except when its cold] we have had only 3 problems... one somebody shoved a nail in the sidewall of our tire two the wind noise is louser at the drivers side seat and the starter is not able to operate when a cell phone is near it. it is a quaility car the only complaints i have are... no v-8 and the leather seats..... SUCK.... after a while you start to hurt because the "leather" is not supple like a cadilac

We purchased the vehicle. I like it, dont love it. Would prefer AWD, and more feeling to the steering.

The car is way too slow. It is big and reliable in the sense that you feel yourself safe being in it. But that makes it too inert and hard to maneuver when it comes to an emergency situation. Other than that, it seems to be advanced for the year 2010 having standard features that other cars do not. Of course that comes with price, too. So comparing values and price I would not give my preference to it.

The vehicle was great. It run and ride very smoothly like a car. I like it very much and good in gas mileage
