2009 Toyota Venza Wagon 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Great alternative to SUV
 I bought my V6 AWD Venza mainly for the interior room and advertised fuel economy. There's plenty of room in the back seat for adults or a child seat. Plus the trunk area has tons of room for bulky items or a large dog. The downside for all this room are lots of blind spots. The quality of material throughout the Venza is excellent but build quality seems a little below par. My passenger seat rattles when nobody is sitting in it, lots of wind noise from the driver door and excessive road noise on highway. I was disappointed with the AWD during the snow this winter and actually parked my Venza and drove my wife's Subaru. Combined fuel economy for V6 about 18 mpg but still better then many SUV's
