Something you should know about the fj cruiser.
The car is very reliable has no major problems to the car that would make it costly even if you've had for almost ten years. Great off-road truck to have. Its spacious and very comfortable. The only issues would be its blind spots in the back of the car that would make it hard to see and that it's not very good on gas mileage.

A cool, comfortable, mini SUV.
My fj cruiser is the best vehicles I have ever owned. I have never once had to bring it to a shop for any problems. So far I have 150,000 miles on it, no issues. It is comfortable to drive, small enough that you do not feel like you are driving a tank but large enough to give you the SUV feel of safety. The only thing I would say is that if you are looking for a car with good gas mileage, this is not it. I have to fill up regularly and the tank only holds about 16 gallons. I am at the gas station a lot. Worth every penny of gas for me though. Just an all around excellent vehicle. And the style looks really cool too.

Reliability and functionality
Very Strong Shock Absorbers and sharp brake system, this is a mountain giant climber too.

Great vehicle, not many issues.
I have not had many problems with my fj. I love it. The worst part is the occasional blind spot but that can be helped with those little mirrors. The cabin noise is a little loud but it's a great vehicle. Gas mileage is not superb but average. Id recommend.

IT'S VERY ROOMY AND COMORTABLE.IT TOWS MY BOAT EASILY VERY RELIABLE . IT'S A TOYOTA SO LOW MAINTENANCE. DON'T LIKE THE GAS MILEAGE.

Latest Toyota cruiser 2014
Complaint really is the gas mileage with a small normal tank, drives me nuts. It performs well and does what you think it should no matter the terrain. Love going camping with and in it. I feel my kids are safe when we are driving. It's more of a bumpy ride compared to a luxury vehicle

FJ Cruiser Has Great Features For Any Person
The only thing I don't like about the FJ is that it is only two door and you have to open the two front doors before you can open the two back doors. I also love how high up from the ground it is, don't have to worry about curb checks when you park and it's a very sturdy and safe car with the amount of airbags it has installed on the inside!

2014 FJ has great value and dependable
The FJ has a look and unique character of its own. It is a very easy ride both on and off road. Has 94,000 miles and still runs so smooth. The space, height when driving and just the overall feel behind the wheel is just awesome.

Grey rim Toyota nice reliable and comfortable!
I have had a few problems with my Toyota it is grey and not very large it is a really nice car but sometimes it will not run the first time I try to turn it on. Also when I am sitting it's hard to view because I am not very tall. Another problem I have is that when I try to curve in my driveway my Toyota hits the sides and leaves marks. But overall it's nice and has great features.

Car is hot: slate grey, dark windows, luggage rack & large tires w/ custom rims.
Great looking vehicle that really sets me apart. Lots of cool features. Gas mileage is not great, less than 15 miles to the gallon and it does not have a lot of get up and go so you have to really punch it if you need to get on a freeway. Not super comfortable or spacious... It is really for sporting and too look good.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Aya A.

They can go anywhere on or off the road. They are surprisingly comfortable and quiet. They look really cool. They a great vehicles for hauling pets. When I am driving I cannot hear the noises of wheels or the road.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Aya A.

Visibility is a problem until you get used to blind spots it is difficult to get into the back seats. The upright windshield is prone to chips and cracks from stones coming from cars ahead of you. Gas mileage is around 17 to 21.
