"If you are wanting a car that is fun and safe and has power...then an FJ Cruiser is for you. An FJ has a very distinctive look that is a simple and clean design both outside and inside. When I drive it, I feel very safe. The only flaws that an FJ Cruiser has is big blind spots and not so great gas mileage for city driving. Other than that, a great car."

"Canada's oilfield outback puts vehicles through the toughest test in the world - from muskeg swamps to 50 below weather. The fj trumps all vehicles on our sites, including the hummers and jeeps. It is not a Toyota, it is built by HINO and is only marketed and maintained by Toyota. Hino is a commercial truck manufacturer in Japan - the fj is built to commercial quality. Buy this vehicle if you want a vehicle that will last 50 years and will not break down......challenge - try and find an fj owner who does not think their vehicle is the best built in the world.....you will not find one....check out the fj on youtube...there is nothing else like it. .."

"I bought my 2008 trail teams fj cruiser about three months ago and I absolutely love it!! Third time is the charm, I actaully had my eye on two of these same trucks and right before I was about to go look at them, someone bought it right out from underneath me. I finally found mine in Nevada. Just from the car ride home to the bay area I had fallen in love. Everything on the truck is awesome, from the exterior look to stereo, it is an amazing truck. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone!!"

"this fj has all the power and reliability you would expect from toyota. plenty of power, rides smooth on the road. the 4x4 works great in the snow, and on the beach. the gas mileage is what you would expect for a vehicle this size. if you want better mileage, get a mini cooper. i have 40k and hoping to get 300k out of it. as long as this truck is your personal taste, get it! runs great and kicks butt in the snow. people who complain about the blindspots should understand what you are driving. the only negative is the suicide doors. not good in parking lots. getting in and out of the back seat is a chore for adults. otherwise it's an awesome vehicle."

"After owning Acuras for the last 8 yrs, and paying for premium only gas, the FJ is a great vehicle and not a gas guzzler like most think. I actually spend less and still enjoy the power of a V6! Love this vehicle for on and off road!"

"I have been very pleased with my 2008 FJ. The only problem was, after shopping online for 2 months, I finally located a Certified Used in the area. I felt taken when the Internet advertised a price with features and the dealer gave me what looked like the same vehicle, Yet upon delivery, I had no keyless entry, rear tire cover or 4WD. Mileage was low and the tires were new. Be weary about the final package. Look over the vehicle thoroughly- especially the options stated on the sales specs. Make sure the final price includes both the Maintenance and Tire package. Dealers will say they will give you all the best options, but they are only interested in getting the most out of you at their price. Now, I have to spend another $120.00 for a remote, which is included with the Certified Vehicle. Leave the dealership if they don't include your bottom line needs. With the beauty of the FJ, you'll be more overwhelmed with acquiring it than looking at the fine details. Despite these things, Love it!!"

"Excellent truck. This baby can go anywhere and in all weather conditions. Handles the desert heat and dust very well I would recommend this truck to anybody who has kids and wants a reliable and safe ride. Running costs are very reasonable indeed and overall the FJ is a very practical vehicle."

"This is the best car I have ever owned. I have had this for a year and it is just a lot of fun. I put a six inch lift and 18 mud tires and rims on this car.I have gotten more people asking about this car more than any car I have ever had.The interior is great if you spend time in the dirt or have kids/little league clay washes out with a hose!It does have a few blind spots but i fixed that with a back up camera. Get this car and you will not regret it!"
