#317 of 1073 Re: Rear seats wide enough for three cars eats? [dm1212] by sage3 Nov 23, 2008 (9:19 am)
Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 6:45 pm) I would take a broken run flat censor over a power steering problem any-day. You may have had problems with your Toyota but fact remains most Toyota products are more reliable then GM products, so my question to you is how will you help the economy by buying American Made when repair costs take a bite out of your wallet. Second, we are witnessing how GM and the unions have run their company to the point that they are asking for tax payers money to survive! Hello! Dear folks at GM please make a better product and I will buy it. What I don't buy are the wages unskilled blue callers have been getting for sub par products. Good luck is what we need

Replying to: joshuag (Nov 22, 2008 11:52 am) My bad, I was thinking Edge since this is the Venza forum. The Flex is a larger 3rd row bus.   The CR reliability report lists Toyota #4 and Ford #17 so I am still calling you on your statement that Ford is ahead of Toyota.

Replying to: md_outback (Nov 23, 2008 8:50 am) accidentally spill something on the seat   True, true, though you only generally have to worry about this with front seats. I hope in the case of baby barf - we don't have any Brittany Spears imitators anywhere else in the world.   Febreeze can do wonders for lingering odors, but one would hope that caution would prevent the need for that wonder fix.   won't get nearly as hot as dark leather - thus cooling is not a necessity.   These types of seats actually don't work very quickly, like electric heated seats do. The cool off is gradual - relatively speaking - and the main benefit is comfort over a long drive. I had these in an Expedition I owned previously and they were great. Not terribly expensive to offer either, and THERE is the mystery as to why Toyota isn't serving them up in the Venza.
#320 of 1073 AWD by avery1 Nov 23, 2008 (11:25 am)
Anyone know what the AWD system is? Is it the same as the Lexus RX 350?   Just tried the configuration tool on the Toyota site and it let me configure an I4 FWD but it wouldn't let me configure an AWD I4. They are going to produce an AWD I4 aren't they? I am in the SF area. I tried putting in a zip code for Lake Tahoe to see if they would allow one there and got the same result.

Replying to: avery1 (Nov 23, 2008 11:25 am) I'm 99% sure it is the same AWD system on the RX and the Highlander.   The website won't let you build that vehicle configured that way until they are producing that model (late January 09). You can however build that model on the Carsdirect site, which will also provide you will the ever useful invoice total.

Replying to: dm1212 (Nov 22, 2008 6:45 pm) Thanks for your reply, although I would note that the Acadia was in its first model year so some problems are to be expected. Looking at reliability on sites like www.truedelta.com the Lambdas are reasonably reliable and better in the second year. I would like to buy American to support the economy and a third row may be a good idea with three children. The Venza has a 30 cu feet trunk whereas the Traverse has 24 with the 3rd rom up or 64 cu ft with it down.

Has anyone on this forum actually sat in a real production ready Venza? If so are the rear row wide enough for three adults? Replies to this message: kdhspyder (Nov 24, 2008 6:18 am) topgun7 (Nov 24, 2008 6:30 am)

Replying to: tourguide (Nov 23, 2008 6:30 am) I should have qualified my statement. "First one rolled off the assembly line on monday november 10th." They are sitting at the port waiting for Toyota to give the word and ship them to dealers.
#325 of 1073 Re: [guy1974] by kdhspyder Nov 24, 2008 (6:18 am)
Replying to: guy1974 (Nov 23, 2008 2:56 pm) Yes I have. In our regional ride and drive we got to test several Venza's vs the Edge, CX7 and the Murano. Inside it 'feels' larger than the rest and it feels wider than a Highlander but essentially it's the same inside as the Highlander. The two vehicles are off similar platforms with similar dimensions.   Sit in the first two rows of a Highlander and you'll be sitting in a Venza.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 24, 2008 6:18 am) "Sit in the first two rows of a Highlander and you'll be sitting in a Venza"   I went to SF Auto show and they have a Venza that we can sit in.. It is a pretty impressive suv. The interior look mighty good (compare to RAV4 lol) with quite a few thougtful design in the front (armrest can be moved a feet or so back and forth to allow for access to the compartment below etc.). The back set is reasonable for 3 adult but certainly not for 2 hours drive unless they are pretty small in size. It is on my list of test driving in a few months.
