Used 2009 Toyota Venza I4 for Sale near Nanaimo, BC

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.

Driving the Venza on a bad road it feels like driving a Ford F150 (Not a good thing). This is coming from a Camry 07 SE with 93000 miles.

So far after 500 miles, really like the ride, fuel economy, and room inside. The acceleration on the 4 cyl is not as quick as the 6 cyl, but it is fine for the average user. Had a small plastic corner piece fall off passenger front window corner, no big deal, just wasn't in to the clip I guess. Appearance is great, don't see many on the road, so it catches the eye of alot of people. It is fun to drive and comfortable.

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.
