2012 Toyota Venza Wagon Limited 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
2012 Venza Limited
 Had 2012 Venza limited since 3/24.Like others, copared to Ford Edge, GM crossovers, Kia Sorrento. Came down to sorrento vs. venza.Preferred the sorrento for price and features but didn't care for seat comfort.Overall happy with purchase. Too soon to rate most catagories, but have to agree that the shifter is poorly designed.It is too long and should be 2 or 3 inches shorter.Not happy that CD player requries opening nav unit.Presume that 2013 venza has corrected these design issues.However, if it gives the same level of reliability that my 2002 highlander has given (two minor repairs in 125,000 miles), I will be very happy.Oveall, a good vehicle.
