I just got a 2012 Toyota Venza Limited AWD v6, I'm loving it, hating the 14mpg though, it's fully loaded with my favorite option that is definitely worth it, the high intensity discharge projector automatic high beams. I can't wait until we get some snow to test the AWD!! 2009 Toyota Venza V6 by yzhenting, on Flickr |

Congrats! New cars are fun and they smell nice too! I'm committed to driving crappy cars for the rest of my life, but my wife WILL be driving the safest most reliable thing we can afford because I refuse to put her in anything that will compromise her safety or peace of mind. Ergo, we bought a brand new one last year. I don't care for it but she loves it and I have to say new cars sure do ride nice compared to, well, a geo metro. Try that picture thing again. I'd love to see it! |

Oh I forgot to add... The 14 avg. mpg is me with a lead foot! I had to drive my parents' 2010 Camry Hybrid for a week while my Camry was getting fixed from deer damage, they got 34.7 mpg and after that week I was way down to 23.9! Lololol |

I looked at the CX-5, 7 and 9! I didn't like the way the way they rode or drove. I just looked at the Venza for about an hour went home and told the girlfriend and we were up there an hour later signing papers! It's a great deal. My parents have a Venza also, it's a 4 cylinder AWD I liked theirs a lot so I looked at one too! The v6 is definitely a sleeper.

You must not like good handling cars. :/ And if you think the Venza is a sleeper...you must not have gotten into the boost on that CX7. The important part is...you enjoy it!

I do like good handling cars, it was a great deal that was way too hard to pass up. I love my Toyota's! BTW I've already had it up to 105 merging onto the HWY. Edited by 89Metro5dr., Feb 26 2012, 11:15 PM.
