Bought a 2013 5 years ago,kids loved the car More than me😂... Got stolen last October, found it back last Saturday, it was so crazy seeing The car again with everything as it was, even my daughters car seat was still inside. Battery was dead,one deflated tire. Best car ever.

My 2011 Venza V6 recently died. Well, the head gasket blew. So sad I'll be retiring. Almost made it to 540k km. 😮 Car was built like a tank.

Wow, that's amazing! I'm looking to buy one for around $5k and been finding 2010ish around 165k-210k and I was worried about getting one that high of miles. Did the transmission hold up that long too?? Were there any big repairs that I should be looking for around the 200k mark?

540k is fantastic! Was that miles or kilometres? Either way, the longevity is impressive?

It was a “Crossover” like the Honda version was a crossover. Not sure where you got a 1,000lb tow limit maybe the 4 cylinder but the V6 was 3,500 or more. LOVE my 2010 V6 which has 124+k miles now. Besides regular maintenance i did change out the 20” rims to 18” 2023 Highlander rims. It is quieter and smoother and Tires cost much less then the 20” and I kept the same hight. Most people are impressed then I say its 2010.

I recently bought a 2009 V6 AWD model with 144K miles... I love the design and it drives perfect. The ride is a little stiff but it's a crossover AWD so that's to be expected. Wasn't sure about the built in navigation but it works great, still don't understand how it works with a DVD.

@thel1195 2 ай бұрын

I think part of the rough ride is those 20" rims on the V6. At over 200K, probably time for some new struts. Tires and struts are fixable issues IMO

Could have been one of the coolest bad ass vehicles Toyota ever made~ but its too damn wide and has that mini van vibe to it. It just needed to be reworked, but they were too busy trying to please the soccer mom family types with the design.

@romanskyL Ай бұрын

My family owns a 2013 Venza which we bought new and is now driven about 100k miles. The ride is very smooth over bumps (we live in Ukraine where roads are quite bad), I’ll say it is a bit too soft compared to my 2014 BMW X3. The example must be worn out at 200k miles or running runflats.

@trickrun 27 күн бұрын

love my venza....tons of dirt road, 2 track driving and at 120K struts being replaced by me...otherwise, great clearance, great hauler...can load half a house in it...back seats down. love it. the comments about what is it just makes no sense...perhaps you are too young to remember station wagons....luckily this is big enuff but not like the big honking station wagons of the past.

2013 Venza with 60,000 miles and 4 new Landcaster tires. The ride is much quieter with these tires than the original Bridgestones . I'm 70 and I believe this car is going to outlast me. I bought it new and have no regrets.

We were fortunate to inherit a 2014 Limited AWD V6 with under 80K kms (!) Yes, it resembles a big muscular wagon. Yes it suits older folks who need ease of access (3 knee replacements between my wife and I ). Yes it has power to spare, a great sound system, nice design and great reliability. Very pleased with ride and suspension but really, it's just broken in. Only minor complaint is the panoramic rear sunroof prevents roof racks from being used so we bought a rear hitch cargo rack for loaded road trips with luggage, food, pets etc. Venza's may be awkward to define but for us, it's like winning a lottery.

@trickrun 27 күн бұрын

really no reason to put a full glass roof on a car....my only complaint on my 2013....but, yakima does make rack for it, got it, but the details on installing were wrong from yakima as far as where the towers go...and the depressed portion of roof by door where the towers go.

Only tows 1,000 lbs? You may have been referring to the 2.7L, 4 cyl version, as my '13 Venza V6 Limited (same engine as the one you reviewed there, although 2 yrs newer) is rated at 3500 lbs. Mine has fewer miles - 120k, and I'd say it handles more like a car. Had 70k on it when I got it used in '17. Maybe the review vehicle has harder miles on it? Mine has no leaks, AFAIK - definitely no timing chain cover leak. I've done two drain & fills on the transmission, and had the rear diff changed, so that might help prevent leaks. My greatest disappointment with the vehicle is the head unit - the 13 speaker JBL with hard disc based GPS. The sound of the system is adequate, and satisfactory. But whereas the earlier units with GPS were flash memory based, and could be updated with a CD, the HD based GPS will update exclusively through a dealer, at a cost of some $350+. It will play mp3 off of a USB stick, which is a plus. But the user interface for that feature, as well as the GPS is abysmal - providing bare minimum functionality. I use a stand-alone Garmin most of the time for GPS - still not as good as the old Tom-Tom I had 12 - 15 years ago, but better than the Toyota offering. I'm not inclined to gamble the cost of an update, only to find out that the upgrade offers no interface improvement.

I call it a wagon in the Outback category, except it's Toyota. A wagon is what I want. I looked at the Venza ground clearance because of snow, wheel base and tire size, sits higher than a Matrix, Venza is similar to my neighbor's old Outback. Venza compares in my outlook if you want a wagon, which I do, and don't want something bigger like a Sienna type because of tight parking inner urban life. An older RAV4 would be out of my price range still but I'm saving my money. I'm moving past my Tundra and wish Toyota would have small pickups.

I have a 4 cyl 2013 Venza XLE with 70k miles on it. Overall it's been a great ride! My suspension is smooth and absorbs a lot of the road bumps, so this Venza in the review probably just needs news shocks. The 4 cyl is definitely a little underpowered, but it's not that bad once you cycle through the 6 gears. I have Michelins on mine and overall the road noise is minimal compared to other Toyotas we've owned ( like our 2012 Rav 4). It's a roomy car with plenty of practicality, it just needs a slight face lift!
