 I was a VW driver for 25 years.  It was very difficult for my husband to get me out of the german car I was in.  We had been looking for over a year for a new(er) vehicle to move me in to, with the VW having 212,000 miles.  He offered me many different options.  I did not want another 4 door sedan, but I didn't like any of the SUVs or crossovers we were looking at...they were either too small (which made me feel unsafe) or too large.  My coworker purchased a Toyota Highlander, which steered us to look more into the Toyota line.  We had already looked at & test drove the Avalon, though I still wasn't sold on the 4-door sedan.  But looking into that Highlander  directed our attention to the Venza.  We spent a few months researching the Venza, reading about it, going through the personal reviews all around online, Edmunds, and many other websites, learning that they ended the line & contacting Toyota to inquire about that as well.  We finally decided to find one locally and take a test drive.  Husband and I were both very happy with it, made the purchase and have had it since February.  I still look at my husband and cannot believe this vehicle never hit our radar sooner.  It is the perfect size for me.  It did take me a few months to get comfortable driving it, but I really do love it.  Its bigger, higher, a heavy vehicle, has nice interior space (leg room, etc) for driver and passengers in both front & back, and I love the trunk space.  I am a commuter and drive 80-90 miles a day and am getting a bit better gas mileage that my previous car (a VW Passat).
