Anyone here have any experience with the Toyota Rav4 or Venza?

I'd go Venza out of those two. Rav4 is too small for me personally. I test drove a 4 cylinder Venza XLE and liked it (was for my mom, but definitely would be a nice car to drive). New or used?

The Rav4 is a decent vehicle. I haven't been in a Venza but I think the Rav4 would suit you well.


And buying your SO a car? SMH

Probably new. Found a couple certified with under 20k that are possible, but if I can get new for only a couple grand more it's hard not to do that. She averaged about 7-8k miles a year.

The Rav4s have come a long way. Nice looking vehicle now

I wish the venzas were a little better looking in the exterior. I know they're very nice but I can't get past the looks...and front wheel drive.

On the exterior too


ETA Why not look at the 4Runners? My wife (no pics) has a 2015 and loves it.

ETA ETA She drove a 2014 RAV4 for a rental and really liked it, we just needed something bigger.

My gf just bought a brand new rav 4 last week. With 0% financing it needed up being cheaper than most of the slightly used ones we looked at

I like it. It's supposedly on the Camry chassis but it has more room than you think

I knew he was moving too fast when he bought the dog.

I'd go Venza Ham. However does she drive many miles ? Might be better to go lease a higher end vehicle with all maintence included for the lady. That's a better fit for that inner loop high class lifestyle.
