Hi CD friends,

Its been a while since I wrote something here. Life has been more busier than ever.

Any CD friends have bought the new beauty from Toyota called "VENZA"? I am almost done on the same as my car's lease is getting over very soon. Its a fresh model launched by Toyota in March 2009 (if I am correct fully). I wish to have reviews of their top of the line model, V6-AWD-Limited edition with 13 JBL speakers. The one which has Push button engine start, Two moon roofs, COmplete navigation package with back up camera etc..

Awaiting for someone's reply.

Regards,

VJ.

I didnt buy the Venza, but was contemplating it very seriously. I test drove and researched the V6 fully loaded one and it is a gorgeous car!. Its a car on steriods :-)
its great if you have a family because it has a lot of space including backseats and the truck. Plus kids will get a kick out of the panoramic moonroof views. its got a very luxury feel to this vehicle, plus tons of storage compartments on the console.
The car purrs and feels very powerful too.

Thanks for your reply,

You know, we are having the newer DoDGE Grand Caravan since 2 years and enjoyed every bit of space it has. As it was too big for just the 3 of us, we thought of moving back to a smaller (or a cross over) and found this one. The panaromic view from the back seats would surely help my wife and the little one, forget the spacious feel around them. And did you notice that even the back seats have reclining feature?

The shape is almost the Lexus RX 350 one. The Venza beats the new RX in terms of exterior styling and overall performance. 10 K cheaper than the famous "L" logo definitely is making sense to me.

Great value for money, I can't wait further for it now. Only few more days left.

VJ.

Hi all,


Finally we are almost there to own the VENZA. Only a last minute addition of Hyundai Tucsan (good machine with a great look) is making me think a bit.

I just thought of requesting to you all , if anyone closed a deal (lease) on Venza V6 AWD (13 speaker JBL and nevigation package)?

If yes, please share the deal if possible to help me discuss with the dealership further in few days from now (may be a week left, since the MARCH red tag event should start).

Regards,

VJ.

Just be aware that the Venza sits on 19 inch or optionally, 20 inch tyres. These are big tyres and therefore expensive to replace. Good luck on finding winter tyres.

Other than that, most reviews have stated the Venza has a normal compliant ride that is suitable for everyday driving - but not really known for it's driving dynamics.

I was going back and forth between a Nissan Rouge and a Venza, but eventually settled for a Nissan Rouge. And I love the Rouge. It has the SUV feel but drives like a car.

A Venza is a very good car but the only reason I did not go for it was that it is still in its first year and as is with all cars there are some things that need to be worked on still, which come into play when the car is driven on actual roads instead of test roads.

But anyways it is good car for that price.

Hey Guys,

Venza is not the machine, I am going to drive in Canada. It's the brand new 2011 KIA-SORENTO with Ex-V6 Luxury model, which has won the race for us. Its fully loaded, top of the line trim with some coolest features such as Push button start, Panaromic roof, Complete leather (two tone), 10 speakers Infinity sound system, voice promted NAVIGATIOM system, Back up Camera, Ipod hooked up on the navigation screen, two DVD screens installed on the HEADRESTs, 7 seating and many more cool technical features.

KIA is an all together new car company after their launch of 2 new recent models and production in US at west georgia plant. I must have spent a month is researching various factors and am satisfied with my analysis.

We are excited about it and thought of sharing it with you all guys. It would come may be in another week's time. First we thought of a BLACK colour but due to Home Minister's pressure, deciding on SNOW PEARL WHITE.

Regards,

VJ.
