Q: Is a Toyota Venza a good car for someone going to college?
My mom wants to buy a Toyota for my first new car when I go to college. Do you think the Venza is a good car for an 18 year old? I do understand that is a more high end car compared to something like a corolla.

A: get a mustang lol

Q: What car do you think is cooler, a newGolf GTI or a new Toyota Venza?
i like the GTI ALOT! but i want to know what you guys/girls think.

A: Golf GTI all the way!!!

Q: Do you think the 2010 Lexus rx350 is just a fancy toyota venza?
just like how people say the es350 is a “dolled up Camry”

so do you think the rx350 is similar to the venza by any means, like the ride look etc;

thanks

A: Yes it is.

Q: 2009 Nissan Rogue or 2009 Toyota Venza?
K im looking for a nice family SUV 2 adults 2 kids. Im looking at the 2009 Nissan Rogue SL AWD for 35,000 (aprox) and the 2009 Toyota Venza (base model). so which one is better and why?? the pros and cons??? thx in advance! :-)

A: The Venza is larger and more luxurious than the Rogue, and is offered with a V6 while the Rogue’s are all four cylinders. I’m not saying it’s a better car, but you are comparing two vehicles that are not direct competitors in the marketplace.

The Toyota that is closest to the Rogue in size and price (and the way they’re marketed) is the RAV4, not the Venza.

Q: Toyota Venza defects?
Greetings all I am in need of some information. I own a 2009 Toyota Venza currently it has only 13360 miles on it. Today my check engine light came on along with the traction light strange huh. Well I immediately called the service center for an express visit. I brought the car in and explained the problem of course the service man asked if my gas cap was secure because this too will make the check engine light come on. I explained that the gas cap was secured because I was told by a coworker this could be the cause. However the man stated to me that I should wait a couple of more days because most likely the gas cap was the cause and it takes a couple of days to reset. I questioned as to why did the traction light come on as well he replied oh sometimes one sensor will trigger another. Well of course I said no and that the car is still under warranty and I want it inspected. Here is the problem I was told that the clamp which holds the exhaust manifold plate to the undercarriage cme off and the plate fell off as well and that this is something not covered by the warranty. Can someone tell me where do I stand on this matter. FYI my car has never been in any accidents or reckless situations. I am ready for battle with these guys, Toyota is the only service area the car has been with for maintenance checks etc. As always thank you in advance.

A: I work for Toyota. It should be covered, unless it show signs of you hitting something. If they say there is signs of that. Tell them “show me”. I would cover under warranty for sure. Plus we do see the gas cap issue a lot, but we always check it out and clear the codes if is just a cap.

Q: Which is the best crossover car – the Mazda CX or the Toyota Venza?

A: There are two Mazda CX’s. The CX-7 & CX-9. The CX-7 is the one to avoid. It’s a turbo charged engine that requires premium fuel. As if gas prices weren’t bad enough you got to buy the expensive stuff. And the CX-7 is complicated especially if you get awd. Later on when the warranty expires, it will be hell trying to find someone outside a dealer who knows what to do.

The Mazda CX-9 is a better choice, but it’s expensive. The V6 drinks fuel b/c it’s heavy. But it makes up for that by being very comfy & reliable. A very versatile vehicle.

The Venza is new so it’s overall predicted reliability is unclear. But it can get expensive too. But in Toyota’s defense, their history of good cars says something there. I have not seen many of them. I think people are turned away from it’s price when there are others to choose from.

Another to consider is a domestic US brand call the Equinox. It’s new this year as well. But it’s getting good reviews. The 3.0L V6 makes loads of power from a light weight block & it’s priced low enough to get mid level income families into it. It has a standard 4 cyl, but the V6 is the way to go. See link below. G’luck!

Q: do u like the new Toyota Venza?
http://www.motortrend.com/features/auto_news/2008/112_news140801_toyota_venza_detroit_debut/photo_03.html

A: I’m a little bit mixed on it.

Q: how I know if the 2009 toyota venza is a crossover or a sedan?

A: It’s a Crossover. It’s built on a Sedan chassis and platform with the larger body type of an SUV.

It’s Toyota’s answer to the crossover market anyways.

It’s not truly a Sedan or a Crossover.

Q: I bought a Toyota Venza and I got ripped off with the interest rates…?
In this economy I bought a financed Toyota Venza with 8% interest rates. I have a good credit score (700 range) and paid a decent down payment. But now as we can all see Toyota is suffering in sales and announced no interest for 5 years in any vehicle. Is there a way i can refinance my car to pay no interest? Or am I screwed paying this stupid 8% and paying thousands in extra of money?
(It’s not really me, it was my sister, but you get the situation)

A: Just like so many other things in life, when you buy something before it goes on sale, you pay the pre-sale price like your sister did. Nobody’s going to refinance a used car for a rate lower than when it was new. Tell your sister to deal with it.

Q: Oil Specification for 2009 Toyota Venza – Will 10W-30 give longer engine life than 5W-20?
Toyota specifies 5W-20 or even 0W-20 for my new 4 cyl. Venza. These are about the viscosity of water. I suspect that these are specified to provide less friction at start-up and improve the (fleet) mileage numbers slightly. I also suspect that these very light oils do so at the expense of engine life and wear. What do you automotive engineers think about using 10w-30 in this vehicle for all oil changes, even if it means more difficult winter starting. I’ll bet that the other oils will result in drastically lowered engine life over the long term and I’d like to keep this car for 200,000 miles. No amateur guesses please.
Thanks for the answers folks. I am amazed by the blind acceptance of you guys of the specs. As an engineer myself, who has worked with auto manufacturers in the (distant) past, my suspicions that they are trading mileage numbers for engine life are not based on ignorance. It’s the sort of thing that is done every day. Like Microsoft trading an early release date for more software glitches. I do trust the manufacturers to competently design the product for maximum sales and profits, but not necessarily performance or life. The question I’m asking has been posed in some of the professional dealer magazines, and I was just wondering if anyone had any data to support or deny it, so far….nada.

A: thicker oil protects better but newer engines have closer tolerances and need thinner oil to lubricate properly, especially in cold weather. maybe 5-20 for the first 100 thousand miles and then 10-30?

Q: Toyota Venza (still waiting)?
Hello,

I have placed my order for Venza in late March and I have been waiting for 11 weeks now, yet I am not getting sufficient information about its production or any other details from the dealer. After many calls I made to the dealer, I received one page document titled Toyota Order and Vehicle Summary. This document only provided basic information such as Production Month (June), Source Plant (Kentucky), and Sales Contract Date (2009-05-06) which I find a little bit suspicious as I ordered mine in March not in May. I made another call to the dealer once again today wondering if the dealer has any new information on my Venza. He kept saying he does not have any updates to my status (as always) that he could provide to me other than the ones on the document he has sent to me about 3 weeks ago. If I am not mistaken, the contract between the dealer and me expires once the 90 days are over. Therefore, logically I should be getting my vehicle within 90 days and I feel that this is impossible since there are only 3 weeks left until the deadline when the dealer has no information whatsoever about its production up until this point. I am very unsatisfied with their service.

Is this normal? and should I be worried? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: Ok…something is not right here. Can you tell me what kind of Venza your ordered? Let me know the exact model, color, interior, and Equipment. The only reason I ask is because certain kinds are very hard to get. These are basically your Venza’s with Navigation or Sunroof…especially in White, Black, and Gray. However, It shouldn’t be taking this long to get in. Your car should have arrived 6-8 weeks after you ordered it…max. I have a feeling that they “sold you out”. Meaning: they sold your car to someone else. It’s possible that they even forgot to get you a car. If your dealer isn’t giving you any answers, I would check around to other Toyota dealers. I’m sure that they would be more than happy to get you a car in a more efficient time. And, I would be raising hell at your dealership. Why would they show you an order from from May when you ordered it in March?? They should be able to give you an approximate date of arrival. If they can’t do that, something is seriously wrong.

Q: Acura RDX vs. Toyota Venza vs. Lexus IS 250?
Between the… Acura RDX…Toyota Venza… Lexus IS 250… which one would you choose?

Thanks.

A: acura or lexus
definitly not the venza though, that thing is ugly in person.

Q: With Lexus emblems instead of Toyota, 2009 Toyota Venza should be called the redisigned Lexus RX.?
The 09 Toyota Venza is due out late September. Consumer reports said its like a cross between the camry avalon and highlander. Honestly, Im really liking this car. At first I thought it was a fancy Station Wagon, but its growing on me fast.

see the “lip” peering over the top the roof, black with white lights? + The antenna on the roof seem like they just had some left over parts or figured it would save money on developing new casts for the design.

Just throw some “L’s” on their and call it the redisgined RX.

Either way I am excited for it to arive in showrooms. It seems like it can go both ways. Im 24 years old, and not to sound conceeded, but a station wagon is not for me.

However, it looks hot now. I need to see it in the showrooms.

A: well lexus is a company under toyota so any similarities should be no surprise. but its a nice car. not for me tho

Q: where can i get more toyota venza info n where is it built plz tell me ?

A: toyotavenza.com ?

Q: Which one would be better for someone who is 6′4″-6′5″, A Toyota Highlander or Toyota Venza?

A: Highlander all the way. Venza’s have had a lot of problems and they’re brand new. Highlanders have been around for a while now and they keep refining them. They both have about the same amount of leg and head room. Highlanders are tried and trusted. Venzas are a headache!!!!
