I drive a Toyota Venza and love it. Unfortunately, Toyota discontinued the model. I am now in the market for a new or slightly used car similar to the Venza. Leg room is a priority as I am 6’4”. What other cars would be similar to the Venza?

A. I would look at two cars. The Toyota Highlander could work and the controls and overall operation will feel very similar to your Venza. The other vehicle is the Subaru Outback. The Outback has a smaller footprint to the Venza but, when comparing the Outback cabin specifications to a Venza, the Outback seating is slightly bigger in every dimension. I recently drove the 2017 Outback and found it to be quiet, economical, and roomy.
