Extremely reliable and what makes this vehicle unique is that the value increases over time because it was discontinued in 2014. These fj’s can last 300k + miles. I love the way it drives like a car but performance off road is amazing. Interior is huge too and as a bigger guy this makes it a no brainer. Absolutely love it.

The fj has a rugged look but does not drive like a truck but a SUV.
The fj is a great car. It is reliable, safe and fun to drive. It gas power in snow and mountain terrain. The fj has blind spots on the sides so you must be cautious when you change lanes. It offers features you can buy to meet your lifestyle. Such as racks, lights, tires and racks for bikes, skies and small boats. It gas a lot of power and can pull a trailer and bug boat or camper.

It is a good investment for the durability, life of the car, including a feeling of uniqueness when driving it and safety.
I like the added safety rating of my SUV, and the fact it has height to see traffic above the road and back up cameras and sensors. Also the comfort on long trips and turning radius. It does have blind spots and you have to learn to drive and park it due to Its size front bumper.

The safety and comfort of the Toyota fj cruiser.
This vehicle has been excellent and reliable. Off-road capability is really what I was looking for along with comfort and safety as well. This vehicle was purchased as a safe way navigate in adverse conditions of winter weather with easy to understand controls for the four wheel drive. Comfort of the fj Cruiser is excellent and the interior is simple and easy to clean. The engine power of the fj is excellent as it easily accelerates in traffic to safely navigate hazards. With the handling of this vehicle feeling more car like than truck it is also a pleasure to drive.

Blue fj cruiser with ladder on the back. Off road package.
I love my fj cruiser! I love the performance and reliability! I have always felt safe in my car, especially when off roading. It is comfortable and spacious in the front seats. However a little tight in the back seats. I have no problems with my car! Best car purchase yet!

It is great for off roading or just driving in general. Quiet enjoyable ride!
Awesome car love the look and the way it drives! Only con is that it is hard to see at night with the lights but I also have a slight lift on my car so that might be part of the reason why. I have asked other fj owners about this and they have similar problems one guy told me he put in a light bar but it didn't make much of a difference. But with the brights on you can see everything!

The Toyota FJ Cruiser makes Driving fun again!!
This is a very fun vehicle to drive. I have never gotten bored with it and don't plan on ever selling. It has a retro vibe that I really enjoy. The engine, drivetrain and transmission are excellent. As long as you keep the maintenance up, you should be able to drive this vehicle for years with no issues.

Incredibly Reliable Vehicle
My FJ-Cruiser is incredibly reliable and comfortable. I have had zero issues in the 6 years of owning and I could not be happier. It is everything I could ever want. I love how large it is because it makes me feel incredibly safe on the road while giving me plenty of room for storage. I also love that it can easily drive off-road so that I am never nervous about different terrain.

Love my 4 wheel drive. Fj cruiser.
I have had no problems with my vehicle, there is some limited visibility but not so bad I want to get rid of it, I love four wheeling in my fj it handles any situation I have put it in. I love the fj cruiser great SUV. It is too bad that have discontinued it.

The field of view is limited so you have to really use the mirrors and the backup camera if it comes with one.
It is a Toyota and very reliable. We only have had to perform routine maintenance. It is more of an off-road type SUV but despite that it is very comfortable. You have to get use to the limited vision but we have a backup camera which helps. Gas mileage of course isn't great but we knew that before we purchased.

Driving an FJ cruiser is like owning your very own Tonga truck
I love my FJ cruiser. I bought it from a reliable manufacturer and it has driven without problems in rain, snow,ice, high wind, and sunny conditions. The only drawback is that the angle of the windshield makes it prone to cracking and I have had to replace it once. It is a very comfortable interior as well and I can haul all my gardening supplies fairly easily inside

Very reliable car and made in japan.
Not family friendly car. But the cruiser car is very good at bad conditions road and weather. I can carry a lots of stuff so we can save money for moving.

Extremely reliable. Can be driven in any terrain in any conditions.
Several design flaws: poor visibility, too many blind spots. Windshield positioned too perpendicular to the road causing frequent cracked windshields when hit by rocks. Poor instrument lighting. In bright daylight you cannot read the time, compass, radio because of the backlighting.

It's a real treat to drive!
This is the most fun, reliable and comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. Taking it out everyday is a real treat! I did have to get used to a few of the blind spots at first but that was easy to get over. I HIGHLY recommend the FJ cruiser for anyone- single people, families, grandparents, whatever!

Fj cruiser- great car for a 21 y/o!
The only major problem I have noticed is the extreme blind spots due to the large panels behind the rear windows. I have installed small mirrors to help with this problem. I have roof racks which make the car feel sensitive to the wind when going high speeds (on the highway). Sometimes when parked close to another car the suicide style doors may be difficult to open for someone sitting in the back. Extremely comfortable and feels safe. I really enjoy the interior look of the vehicle.

Magma colored with white top/ bars across which makes it easy to put my kayak.
I have had no issues with the fj cruiser, except for recall for seat belt. The battery has been replaced twice. It is reliable, other than the mentioned issues. Performance wise it runs great! Comfort wise it could use some improvements. There is no armrest for the passenger seat or the driver seat.

It is a great car because it has all of the amenities you could ask for.
I like the comfortable ride. The seats fold down for extra storage. The rear and side visibility could be better.

Fj cruiser, best vehicle I have ever owned.
Never had an issue with it. Rides nice and will go anywhere. I bought it sight unseen and it is beautiful. I would recommend the fj cruiser to anyone who wants an off road and everyday driver. Probably wouldn't be great for an infant seat. Leg room is very good.

6 inch lift, and 35 inch tires and 18 inch rims and metal bumpers and its 4x4.
I love my vehicle BC I can accessorize it as much as I want I added a 6 inch inch lift big mud tires to it. It's great for my family and outdoor adventures such as trails one thing is that this vehicle has sold really well for a used vehicle for almost the same price as it did when they first came out and when they ended them. Fj cruisers have topped many list as the vehicle with the best retained resale value. I definitely don't plan on ever getting rid of mine it's a gem.
