Opinion: Highlander Vs Venza Vs Cherokee
« on: June 23, 2014, 04:59:01 PM »
we can't decide. Has anyone experienced 2 or 3 and can tell me more pros and cons? we need this car to shlep heavy-ish tools, we are 3 people total

Pros:

Highlander
Bigger overall

Venza
Comfortable, good mpg, great price (189 a month- 24 months)

Cherokee

Best MPG of all 3, great price


Cons:

Highlander
most expensive, high mgp

Venza
i don't like the look too much

Cherokee

because i have a Toyota now, i need to wait to give up my lease (october), and might end up paying more for damages for my current car

One more con for the Cherokee; If you're currently driving a Toyota, chances are you'll be paying a $350 Disposition Fee if you don't take another Toyota lease.

I test drove all of them.

Personally I liked the Cherokee best from all. Its more of a truck. The venza is a Camry on steriods. The venza drive wasnt anything special IMHO.

I ended up with a Ford Edge. (When I was leasing the New Cherokee just came out and price was extremely high.

I have the Venza (XLE AWD) and love it. Drives great, extremely comfortable, and very roomy.

same here. Great "car"!! But if your looking for slick race car type engine or a slick/powerful truck/crossover this is not the one.

I need the car for heavy tools. My husband is a plumber and we can so far only afford one vehicle. I don't think we need the v6

Coming from a genesis it feels kind of weak.
