Sorry, but nobody, at least I myself, didn't say anything about a private discussion, but I was addressing someone else with my question, that's why I replied rather than posted a separate entry. No harm done in either case. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how these forums are supposed to work!
 
To your other comment, I consider the Murano very ugly. Actually, these days I'm more interested in the Hyundai Elantra Touring wagon/hatchback/whatever. It's very nice looking, outside of the awful color choices, and I hope to actually sit in one soon to see whether it sits too low for me or not.
 
Thanks for the advice, though.

Venza Seat Comfort - Question for Current Owners by md_outback

Hey Venza Owners,
I just completed a 30 minute test drive in a V6-AWD Venza and was quite impressed. I think my only concern is with driver seat comfort: It wasn't bad but it almost seemed like the seat cushion padding was kind of thin. I'm pretty slim myself without much "built-in" butt padding, so I would like to hear of your experiences when taking long trips - does the seat remain comfortable after a couple hours of driving? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Already made five 4 hours long trip from Washington DC to Virginia beach and back without discomfort. If you adjust the seats ergonomically like the height, the back, distance to the steering wheel and lumbar support, you should be fine.

I have 6,200 miles on my V-6 AWD with leater. Took one 1500 mile trip was really comfortable and still is. I only wish that it a/c seats like my wife's Avalon. I'm 6' 1" and 215.

Hey MD outback
 Are you use to driving a Caddie. There is nothing wrong with the cushion seating on the Venza. It is very comfortable and just as good as my wifers 06 Avalon Just returned from a 500 mile trip to the Florida Beaches and it was great .I have leather seating. Maybe it was the way you had the seats adjusted. I like mine to sit kind of low and back some. Try it again

No deepsouth, I currently drive a Lexus RX and the Venza's seat seems to have less padding. It was just a simple question requesting input from Venza owners, since I had only driven the Venza for 30 minutes.

My wife and I have had the V6 w/leather since the beginning of March. I'm 59 and have been driving a '95 Acura Legend Coupe for the last 10 years, which I love and will keep. The Venza is my wife's car and our car for trips into the city and Costco :>).
 
We just returned from driving from the KC area to Charlotte and Atlanta, a total of 2400 miles over a week.
 
When we first pickup the Venza, I had an hours drive to get home. I was having second thoughts on the way home, due to the feel of the seats. The front seats seem too short (I'm only 5' 10") and they could use more padding. But we were very comfortable on our long drive. The most we drove in one day was 12 hours. I no qualms on the Venza now and very glad we did it. Maybe the Venza seats broke me in, but I have no problems with them now.

All dealers, but most especially a high volume dealer, will do their best to discourage placing a custom order, they'd rather sell the current inventory, INSTANT income.
 
Go to a low volume dealer in a remote area...
