Fun times! Young people thinks it a great ride.
Have had no problem vehicle great on gas terrific off road able to park in small places does great hauling a trailer plentiful storage would be a great buy for off roading. Many offers to buy considering they no longer make it. Would suggest a color other than white.

Fj cruiser: the go to vehicle for any situation.
Fj cruisers are one of the best vehicle I have ever owned. This vehicle is very reliable with a ton of room for storage. I have always felt safe in any type of weather condition including colder conditions. It is easy to switch to 4wd in these conditions. It is perfect for travel and my dogs love it.

Fj is incredibly reliable and looks awesome, 200,000 miles with 10 year ownership.
Vehicle is not very quiet when highway driving. Vehicle performance is very reliable. Gas mileage on highway driving is awesome, very reliable no issues with transmission brakes or engine. Fj is comfortable on long trips & high end audio system is great.

Love everything about it except for blind spots.
A lot of blind spots. The doors are inconvenient for backseat passengers. It is very comfortable to drive and I enjoy the extra long windshield. It has been a pretty reliable car, although I do keep up to date with its maintenance. Wish it had a few more luxury feature packages though.

Fj cruiser, a champion on the road.
I have had no problems with my 2011 fj cruiser. It drives smoothly and is very comfortable. There's a lot of aftermarket add ons, like a roof rack, lighting, generator, etc. It is extremely reliable, as most Toyota vehicles are. I plan on driving this car for years to come.

Fj vs 4runner,Toyota all the way!
I drive a 4runner for 8 years. I love the 4runner but I recently purchased a used fj, I love it even more! The dash and buttons are fun. It handles great. It is way roomier and the seats are more comfortable. I would recommend a Toyota always! But if debating between the 4runner and the fj I would pick another fj.

Buy an fj it never fails!
The fj cruiser is an extremely capable off road vehicle. It is plenty big for my needs, however having a car seat in the back is a little tight when getting the child in and out. It is also very customizable with tons of aftermarket products available to make the vehicle more capable and more suited to your specific needs.

It is a very visible vehicle, and built very well so when driving it, one feels safe
I love how safe I feel driving it, and how easy it is to toe with. My only complaint is their just is not enough room in the back seat.

Buy an fj cruiser or you will die regretting your life's decisions.
Capable, customizable, and a whole lot of fun to drive. I wish they kept making this model, I would buy another if they did. It is comfortable to drive daily, and capable enough to take on just about any terrain. Mileage is not that great, but for local it is worth it.
