2009 Toyota Venza I4 Reviews

Toyota needs to package options differently.  Often options are not offered without buying a number of things you don't want or need in the car. If you are buying the 2.7 it is almost impossible to get desired options because of the packaging.

Seat colors are all too light. This is a problem for families with children and pets.  They will not wear well even with leather interior.

Previously owned a V6 Highlander, have switched to a 4cylinder AWD. The loss of power and engine whirr is notable. Even so the vehicle accelerates well. I am unaccustomed to the AWD and has startled me a few times. The interior and exterior styling beats nearly anything out there even if compared to autos twice as costly. Lots of room for storage. Love the dual moon roof & smart start. Sound system ok, wished I'd waited for the premium sound system package. Gas mileage is ok. Nice ride though not exciting.
