Weakness:

So far so good. I had the touring package and hitch installed. I have hauled a 2000lb small trailer a short distance and the car seemed to handle it well. Although this is a crossover you make it move went you need it.

Model Reviewed: Venza

Strength:

comfortable large seating front and rear
V6 has lots of power and torque
steering is effortless
large storage in back and seats fold down quickly for more
loaded with features that are optional on other cars
Blue tooth works just like it should

Weakness:

cannot think of anything that bothers me other than wish it had back up sensors

I got one after looking at and test driving many SUV' crossovers and sedans...this is the best of the bunch....gets lots of second looks and the interior with leather is high end got the panoramic roof and JBL sound...beats anything for way less...if you disagree then drive one and then drive an ugly Equinox or something and you will see.

Model Reviewed: Venza

Strength:

It's the right size. High enough off of the ground to get in and out comfortably. Dashboard layout is well thought out. Good enough power under the hood. The dual moonroof is awesome.

Weakness:

The exterior rearview mirrors are a little limiting in their view due to their odd shape. The radio/sat radio/CD player sounds good at any volume, but doesn't get as loud as I would like it.

OK, so I've only enjoyed this vehicle for a few days, but am liking it quite a bit. We call this the family spaceship. It is very modern with the right mix of technology. It handles and drives nicely. The electronic power steering takes a little getting used to, when you are stopped or moving slowly the steering is very easy, as you speed up the steering firms up. I'm a big guy and all of the seats are very comfortable. There's enough room for a big load of groceries without having to drop the back seats down.
I'll update this review as time goes on, but the overall first impression is great.

Traded a 2002 Dodge Pickup. Have never really owned an SUV before. This will be my first Toyota.
