  • Looks Cool, Fun to Drive and Durable. - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    I have considered buying a FJ since 2006. However the radical design gave me mixed feelings. I was so use to buying boring but practical cars like Accords and Camrys. Buying a FJ would be a drastic departure from my norm. I finally realized that I wanted a vehicle that invoked passion. I wanted a personality (not just a truck). So I purchased the 2010 TT. I am glad I waited. The 2010 version addressed a lot of the short comings of the FJ including - Back-up Camera, reduced turn radius, improved gas mileage and standard unleaded gas. I plan to keep it for at least 10 Years.

  • Rock solid ute - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    Here in the northern plains its about extremes. Snow, cold, heat, wind, and distance. 40 miles to the nearest hospital. 60 miles to the nearest Wal-Mart. Getting there and back in the winter, can be a matter of survival. For fun times, and weekend exploring, the FJ will go most anywhere you ask it to. Although, not perfect, what it does do, it does very well. Comfortable on the highway, and competent when the going gets tough. Visibility and economy, are non-issues, given the overall package. Had 4 Jeeps over the last 30 years, and they never let me down. The FJ fits my needs, and Im very happy with it.

    I am surprised these are not more popular. I traded in my 2005 4Runner and like the FJ better so far. The lack of gas mileage in my opinion is overrated...its not too bad at around 19-20 mpg for me. The back seat room is decent and the blind spot isnt THAT big of a deal too me.

  • Its not for everybody, but its for me!! - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    I purchase a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser in the spring of 2009 after suffering through another Chicago Winter with my Honda Accord. Two tires and rims at a cost of nearly $1000 after hitting a few potholes prompted my decision. Also, I needed a vehicle to pull my snowmobiles and our small lexus RX350 was just barely up for the task. Having put nearly 40K on the truck since I purchased it I can honestly say that there is nothing the city can throw at me that it cant take. This recent February the Blizzard of 2011 dropped nearly 20" of snow in 24 hours. With stock tires this truck blasted through drifts up to the hood, through rutted tracks upto the doors with ease, just keep on the gas..

  • Not for everyone - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Lets be realistic for a moment; this is a vehicle designed with a specific type of person in mind. This person will probably fold the back seats down and never unfold them again (or just remove them completely). The FJ Cruiser is a sport utility vehicle, as SUVs were intended to be, designed to access a favorite fishing hole, cart a deer carcass home for dressing, or carry a roof-top-tent to the top of a mountain. It is not the over-grown station wagon that the modern SUV has come to be. The FJ Cruiser has a cult following of outdoor enthusiasts, eccentrics and adventurers whos definition of practicality doesnt involve DVD players, electric folding third rows, and "a car-like ride".

  • A Blast - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    This SUV is a blast to drive with an ample amount of power, great handling that is almost sports car like and pretty good gas mileage in the 2010. The dreaded "blind spot" is virtually nonexistent with the mirrors. I have more fun driving this vehicle than any vehicle that I have ever owned.

  • Great niche truck - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    I absolutely love this truck. Styling is a matter of taste. The retro theme is appealing to me however, and I like having a truck that doesnt blend in. The engine is very powerful with a lot of low end torque, great exhaust note too. The suspension is made with off roading in mind and is a bit floaty with some body roll in the turns. Regardless though it is surprisingly fun to drive. Also very smooth/comfortable on the road/hwy. Was worried about wind noise w roof rack but no more than my Explorer had. Gas mileage avg 19 mpg mixed. Not bad considering: 4200 lbs, powerful engine, big tires, and styling sacrifices some aerodynamics. Back seat tight getting in/out but dont really ever use.

  • Full-Time 4x4, Fast, Fun, Fjc - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Ive driven the 2009 Jeep & xterra both 6mt and neither compare to my fj 6mt; because of the full-time 4x4 it accelerates & handles just like a Forester xti. In heavy and deep snow 8-12" its amazing, no need to even touch the transfer shifter. Vsc and traction control are an excellent compliment to the full-time system. I love the waterproof interior. Im 5,11 & often have my 6,2 and 6,4 friends seated behind me comfortably, though not for 3 people. Under 60 mph and I get 22 mpg, over 65 and its about 16- 17 mpg highway. In my opinion the 6mt full 4x4 make it worth its awkward looks, if youre thinking 5 at your better off with an xterra same difference more practical unless you like fjs looks

  • Back to Toyota - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    By -

    Just got the FJ. I had a Land Cruiser about 10 years ago and regret selling it. Havent had it in the dirt or snow yet and cant wait to do so. Its great on the road, you forget youre in a serious 4X4. The rear view camera helps with the blind spots when parking. My wife spent her teen years off roading and she is eager to get the FJ dirty. Its a challenge with the doors and our two boys. But the 12 year old isnt complaining as he will take this car over when he is 18. Safe and solid, we will sleep better knowing he will be in the FJ. Now whos got my old Land Cruiser? Can I have it back please? I miss it a little less now that I have this creature.
