My FJ - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Its an FJ thing.... - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By tbrock60 - March 14 - 5:36 pmIts obvious that most "professional" automotive journalists dont get the FJ and dont understnd its purpose. It isnt a AWD cross over, it is a very capable Off Road Vehicle. A properly equipped FJ is unequaled in off road capability, comfort and reliability. The often complained about "limited visibility" is easily remedied by adjusting your mirrors properly. Gas Mileage? Do you really buy an off road vehicle for gas mileage? Im getting between 23 and 24 on the highway...much better than my Dodge Ram! All in all, you either understand the purpose of the FJ and love it or you dont get it and the vehicle just confuses you.

YOULL EITHER LOVE THEM OR HATE THEM!! - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By hunting45 - April 11 - 5:35 pmI have wanted one since "07" and finally have a 2012 4x4 automatic. If youre one that likes to look out the side of your auto to see whats beside you forget it in this ride, Ive always used my mirrors so it doesnt bother me. If you have hair on your head and like to ride with your window down you better carry a cap for when you get out cause your hair well be parted right above your ear. There will be no equalizing the wind blow by trying to equalize with the other window nor with side window visors. When stopping at some stop lights youll need to get use to looking up from the steering wheel. I do truely love mine, the gas mpg is great even pulling my 21 bass boat. Lovem or hatem.

silly rice burner! what? - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By dakomaha - August 23 - 6:45 pmIm 36, I served in the military for 12 yrs. rough, tough and rugged reliable rigs at work, and jeep wranglers at home. Ive never even considered anything else. purchase a wrangler, smittybilt bumpers, black rims, and rugged mud tires for the snow, mud ect........... now, over a decade later 100% IU disabled vet with a bad back and no leg from my left knee down, I was devestated. no clutch lol.... so, i decided to open my options. in the entire car/suv/and 4x4 line up I was about to throw my hands up. then I saw a FJ extremely attractive from the outside. I dont want to say "boxy" but it wasnt all aero dynamic- It looked like a SUV built for a man. Then I saw the inside. WOW!

Iceberg 2012 - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By John Whitten - September 25 - 4:12 amWhile the blind spots are real and the gas mileage is not why you buy this ...I am loving every minute of owning it so far.

Love my FJ in so many ways! - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By ladylonglegs - September 3 - 2:59 pmI have had my FJ for ten months now and still enjoy driving it very much. I owned cars for most of my driving years and wanted a SUV since we were moving into the mountains of WV. and thought a 4x4 would serve my needs better. This vehicle does just that and more...the seats are comfortable and the turning radius is great. Inside the cabin is quiet while driving and gives me a feeling that I am riding in a safe vehicle. I purchased the soild white color and couldnt be any happier with my decision on this SUV!

Laughing at the "professional" reviews - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By tbrock60 - September 12 - 10:08 pmThe reviews that have been published on the FJ crack me up. Its appears the reviewers dont understand the purpose of the FJ. This is no commuter car SUV, it is a body on frame vehicle with significant off-road capability. I have no issues with visibility or blind spots; check your mirrors and look out the window... My 11 year old son loves the back of this thing and the wife likes the ride better than our Ram 1500 quadcab. I got 18.5 mpg on the first tank and expect better as the engine breaks in. I bought this vehicle knowing what I was looking for and Im thrilled with it. Cant wait to hook the camper to it and head to Marble, CO.

Just what youd expect... - 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By tahoclimbr - November 23 - 10:56 amIf you are considering buying this car, you are likely looking for something rugged, durable, reliable, and fun to drive. This meets all expectations. I have had my 2012 FJ for 1 month now and couldnt be happier. It gets the same gas mileage as a the Highlander, drives and handles great, is actually just as quiet (or quieter) than my friends Audi S4 (except at speeds over 70mph, then of course there is more wind noise). I get compliments everyday on the car. Its spacious, reliable, rugged, unique, fun to drive, handles snow/ice/mud great, what else do you want? If youre considering buying this vehicle, its just what youd expect.
