After waiting for more than almost 3 months, our new family member Toyota Venza 2009 has finally arrived. It’s an awesome AWD V6 car (268 HP + 246 lb/ft torque) packed with features for a reasonable price. I love the 20″ rims and P245/50 tires, but buying snow tires next season can be very expensive.
The package we order comes with “Backup Camera” and I thought it is totally useless originally. But after using it, my reaction was “WOW”, it has wide angle view and it is extremely precise. Although we didn’t upgrade the audio system to JBL, I am very surprised that the audio quality. As a former car audio person, I am impressed. The bass is pretty solid and high-mid range got no major distortion even I cranked up the music of hardcore hiphop.
In additional to standard features, we added the remote stater simply because Canadian winter is horrible. We also added bluetooth for handsfree cell phone due to new Ontario stupid law that penalizes drivers who “talk and drive”. Worked flawlessly on Deb’s iPhone and my HTC Windows Mobile.
I may add a hitch for towing trailer and bikes, probably next year.
nice Rini B00 car!!
