 I tested a lot of vehicles before leasing the Venza.Equinox had a rough acceleration it pulled to the right also had clumbsy dash board, cheap Navi plastic cover, Ford Edge got worse mpg's, Crosstour had a spoiler going through the back window(aka Aztek), Buick Lacrosse looked great, but hit head trying to enter the vehicle, tight seat, couldn't see over steering wheel without raising seat really high and had my head scratching the roof.I tried a lot of vehicles and Venza proved the best fit, mpg's and price with options.Wouldn't change the vehicle other than a few minor changes listed in consrunning through the rear window (Aztek),
