Replying to: Firebird_EOU (Dec 05, 2008 3:07 pm) We own a Lexus with Nav that has the same limitations when driving. I'm not sure why seeing the phone number would be a "problem" when driving. You can see the name, but you're not sure if they are calling from home, work, cell, etc. On a positive note, my entire iPhone address book synced. Very cool! |

I'm still waiting for Venza in several colors to arrive at local dealer, so I haven't test driven yet. Does anyone know, if you want to order specific color and option/accessories configuration, do you have to pay MSRP or will dealers discount at all? I have 4 dealers in driving distance from home.

My local dealer so I went to look at it (V6 white - premium 2). It is a nice vehicle and the 20s look good. Inside though it is small. This is not a travel vehicle for families. The usable cargo space is limited by the intrusion of the wheel wells into the trunk area. This is par for the course, but in the Venza it takes away a noticable amount of room with the slope of the rear hatch. Toyota says there is 30 cubic feet back here (lots of scattered figures floating around on this) but you'd be pressed to get more than overnight bags in the trunk area for a trip with a family of four - unless you are the kind of person who doesn't mind packing it to the roof. I think this would be a great vehicle for empty nesters. Two people, who most of the time will have the rear seats down for adequate cargo area, but who occasionally need to put them up to transport another couple. I can see how it was designed with this in mind. It will not however meet our needs as a family of four. |

| We are looking to replace my wife's Chrysler 2001 town and country AWD and I had hoped this was the answer. It isn't! Liked everything about it right up to the time I measured the distance between the wheel wells in the back. It measured about 40.5" which will not let two dog crates fit between them. The T&C is 48" but most everything else is at least 43 or 44. Since crates are 22" each and we need two side by side it will not work. Bummer! anyway the console between the front seats is huge and that was the other "critical" issue coming from a mini-van. Too bad but on to the next answer? | |

One question is whether cargo area with rear seats folded down is completely flat. I am thinking in venza just seat backs go down, so cargo area rises a little over rear seats. Can anyone confirm this? Have been awaiting the Venza as my camry wagon ('93 --228k) would like to take a rest.... In my wagon, seat bottoms pull up and then seat backs go down, making cargo area very flat (which is very convenient). Thanks for any help. |
