Fwiw I have 1 more maintenance service under Toyota's free 2 year/25kmi service with every new vehicle. I'm at 24k mi. My Toyota dealer has been fantastic for service. Just drive right in without a wait. I generally think dealer service is overpriced & I've never before used dealer service. After my experience with their sales and service, I think I may have changed my mind. In 2023 when I bought it, dealers were still charging a couple thousand over MSRP for most hybrids. My Toyota dealer refused to do that. I did have to wait 10 months for it. The 2 annoying things you mentioned with the Venza do not exist on the Rav4. The power button is just to the right of the during wheel stem where you'd expect. That positioning in the Venza is really weird. Also, RAV4 has a volume knob, as well as actual knobs for temp adjust. I love em even though I don't actually use them that much. The volume knob is particularly useful for the passenger. They look fine, but are objectively not as aesthetically pleasing as no knobs. Having them was a selling point for me. The Kia is all touch screen, and I want a fan. I don't anything I have to control with touch screen to be annoying in the car. It's not always easy to keep your hand steady to hit the right button in a moving vehicle. It's not perfect. The wireless android auto fails to connect about 10% of the time & connecting to my phone requires to many trips on the touch screen - and voice doesn't get me there. Toyota pls make it 1 tap or voice to switch to my phone. You didn't mention one of the great selling points... An actual spare tire! Rare these days. For all around practicality, it doesn't get better than this.
