I've owned a new Venza going
I've owned a new Venza going on 10 months and 12K miles. My first hybrid and a totally new driving experience. It can best be described as smooth, performs much like an all-electric vehicle but without the range anxiety. Toyota’s design tops the industry, especially in gas consumption. Typically I exceed 40 MPG at each fill up. Regen braking feels normal, the transition from EV to engine is seamless. I believe battery range will have to exceed 500 miles and charge much faster before EV’s dominate the industry. Until then hybrids are a good compromise.
