Bottom line--very pleased. I went cheap. V-6 in blizzard pearl, conv package and bumper protector, wheel locks, all weather mats, cargo net, splash guards and front window tint and mat package. MSRP was $30,450. Paid $27,500. I drove a 4 cyl highlander to test the engine. The 4 is powerful but not refined after driving the V-6. So no 4 cyl venza coming my way.. My guess is that real world gas savings will be 1-2 despite EPA estimates. We got 27.7 mpg on 100 mile trip home at 68 mph or so. Regular gas is a plus. Was surprise satellite radio standard even on non navi and non JBL model. Nice surprise.

Consumer reports noted how the V-6 vs the inline 4 was so close on the RAV4 that if you have $1600 buy the V-6. Maybe Venza four will be civilized better...

Replying to: xualum (Feb 27, 2009 11:00 am) Because it's used there wouldn't be the normal dealer up charges, i.e., TTL and Prep fees, $32,499 would be it. MSRP was $38,444, that's a savings of $5,945 off MSRP and NO TTL and Prep fees. If I hadn't already bought one 2 weeks ago, I'd be on this one like a Duck on a June Bug even if I had to make a trip to NJ. If anyone buys it please post to the forum. Thanks, Gabill

Replying to: soonercat (Mar 05, 2009 9:45 am) The 2.4 in my ride is pretty bad over 4k rpm, but below 3k pretty darn smooth. Amazingly smooth at idle. This a 4-speed auto. Geared correctly, the 6-speed can keep the revs down. This 2.7L is the first large 4 with Dual VVT-i. Cylinders are more than 15% larger than the V-6. Smaller bore and longer stroke, too. The bore and stroke numbers for the I-4 are 3.54 x 4.13 vs the V-6's 3.70 x 3.27. Maybe the final answer to smoothness comes down to how good a job they do with the engine mounts.

Thanks for your info. I drove a demonstrator (demo car) in a dealer and overall it was fine. This car is 2822 (AWD) silver, prem pack #2, nav, pano roof, tow prep, mats etc. It has 6700 miles. Based on the discussion with a salesman and his manager, the final price without any other fee (except for tax) is $31455 (sticker price $38447). The dealer asked $32495. please give your inputs. good deal?, bad deal? or just ok ?
