We just purchased a 2010 Venza (V6 FWD, Metallic Gray) and we love it. We were initially looking at the Highlander but spotted the Venza in the showroom and became instant fans. I like the car so much that I wanted to share my enthusiasm with others - thus I am here.
We came from a 2005 CRV and the difference is significant. The ride is smoother and quieter. The entire vehicle is more refined and luxurious relative to the CRV. Don't get me wrong, Honda makes a great vehicle that can take a beating and keep running. We just wanted something more.
