2010 Toyota Venza Wagon 4dr Wagon AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
5,000 mile review
 I purchased this car in December of 2010 and now have about 5,000 miles on it.My wife wanted it mainly to haul her dogs and for trips back and forth to the cabin.For both purposes it is a good car; lots of cargo capacity (as much as an Outback), nice hatch opening and the seats lay flat (unlike the new Chevy Equinox).For dirt roads and bad weather the AWD is great, plus the car has the clearance of an SUV without the sub-20 mpg.On average, we get about 23.5 mpg in mixed driving.Oddly, it never gets over 24 on the highway, but we've only owned it in colder months and with lots of ethanol in the gasoline.The seats are comfortable, it handles great, looks great and is powerful
