The Toyota Venza is a great crossover vehicle and works great for a family of five. It may not look like there is enough room in the car from the outside but it is very large inside. There is lots of headroom for taller people and the storage space in the back is huge. Our 3 kids fit comfortably in the back and I think 3 adults could even ride back there without too much problems. We had a van prior to this and could not store much in it on trips compared to the venae. Our entire family loves it. The ride in this vehicle is great in my opinion, suspension feels a little stiff but I don't mind that. The gas efficiency leaves a little to be desired while driving in town but on long trips on highways or interstates it performs great.
