2009 Toyota Venza Wagon 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Venza Comes CLose But Is Replaceable
 The good:  Awesome design inside.  I love that my fingers drop perfectly where the window buttons are.  And I love that all 4 have the one-click-up feature so that you don't have to hold the button up or down the entire time while they move.  The shifter is in the perfect position.  I love the power of the V6.  The back seats sits 3 very well except the middle guy will need to deal with his feet on a hump.  The Bluetooth connects quickly.  The stereo sound is great.  I love the shape of the car, looks really classy, almost like an old 19030's Mercury.  The bad and really bad: The steering column's are made of plastic and break... often... to the tune of $2500 a pop.  They will last about 30-60K miles... and then another $2500 down the drain.  Just awful.  How could Toyota think this was OK?  The interior is VERY squeaky.  I can barely press my thumb against the door and it squeaks.  You can press the dash in and it makes all sorts of junky sounds... what was Toyota thinking when they designed this dash?  Why wasn't it made like the RAV4 which is very thick and tight?  Whenever I go down my driveway and get off the curb of the sidewalk I get this awful brojken ice sound coming from the roof as the car's frame bends.  I hate that.  The breaks go out quickly as well as the rotors due to the massive 20 inch tires.  The cabin noise is high, especially on cement highways.  I have already put $4200 in cash on this car and its only a few months old.  Do yourself a favor and buy a Highlander or a RAV4, trust me on this.  Great car, but not for the perfectionist.
