I test drove a Venza LE. It’s nice, but I much prefer the RAV4 center console over the Venza. Also, when you move up to the XLE or Limited Venza, you get those horrible capacitive controls for the climate control and audio. You should do a RAV4 hybrid vs Venza.

It’s surprisingly quick for a Toyota SUV and lots of room for storage. Perfect for a week long camping trip, doing grocery runs and everything in between! A few things that I didn’t like that I upgraded were the dashboard tweeters due to their horrible output, and recently bought a new wheel and A/T tire set and roof rack for more storage.

The JBL sound system in ALL Toyota vehicles is hugely disappointing. It's way past time for them to update this system, especially considering how much they charge for it. It's also annoying that Toyota uses such cheap looking low resolution screens in this very expensive vehicle. Other than those couple little gripes, I think the Rav4 Hybrid is an excellent daily driver, overall, which is why I have a XSE on order. At $39k it's definitely a bit pricey, but it has every available factory option, plus this is the first vehicle I've purchased that I plan to keep for its entire life, so I don't mind spending a little more for a loaded model. Great review!

It fills up but stops filling anywhere from 3/4 full to full. It’s pretty inconsistent. At 6k miles my mileage got better at 38mpg but only because I stopped driving on the freeway. With mixed street and freeway driving, in eco mode, I got 36mpg. Makes no sense but I get better mileage in normal mode.
