2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser consumer reviews

diappointed with lack of some essential products as far as I am concerned...no fog lights, no satellite radio...did come with 6 cd changer...love that....would not have bought it if it didn't come with that feature..great in snow and great on the highway...just came back from a 6000 mile trip and was extremely pleased with the overall performance...very comfortable seats..never got tired of driving...some days went little over 800 miles..no fatigue sat in...camera could work better..will buy another when the warranty runs out on this one...love the height...near perfect vehicle for me.....

This suv rides like a dream, performs great. Smooth and strong on and off road. Fuel mileage is 17mpg no matter what you try to do to improve it. The so called service on the vehicle for 2 years is a lie. They tell you it is good for 5,000 mile oil changes, it is really 10,000 miles. They fail to do any adjustments on the vehicle under warranty because it has large tires on it, which came on it from the factory. This is my first Toyota vehicle, and my last. I really dont look forward tonthe first major issue with it, as I feel like I have bought an as-is vehicle instead of a new vehicle with a warranty from a company thar would stand behind it's product.

Bought my FJ in January 2010. Love it!! Traded in a Honda Accord, so a little bit of an adjustment to the size. Gas mileage is decent...easily gets 21 mpg on the highway if I stick to the speed limit--if you are a left lane driver at 75mph all the time, you'll notice the gas mileage dropping quite a bit. Blind spots are bad so you have to get used to using your mirrors.....I drive in a lot of traffic so it took me about a week to get used to that (actually makes me more aware of vehicles around me at all times, that's not a bad thing). Interior is very comfortable.....it's a simple vehicle, but that's what it is supposed to be. It's a great snow hog!! My driveway has a steep hill on it and my front-wheel drive car never would make it up the driveway if there was more than an inch of snow on it. The FJ can make it up the driveway not even using 4-wheel drive. Awesome! Do have to use a step ladder when I wash the vehicle...it's pretty tall! Acceleration is very decent for the size and the weight of the vehicle. The V6 is very smooth. The FJ on the highway is very smooth running.....doesn't ride rough at all. If you are looking for a funky 4-wheel drive vehicle, you'll love the FJ. I'd buy another one in a minute!!

Second FJ we have owned. Rear view camea fixed only design limitation(somewhat limited rear visibility) we found with our 2007 model, which is staying in the family. Dealers who responded to our internet search were arrogant, had a take it or leave it attitude, and would not find the Manual Transmission version which was the one non-negotiable feature for us. Finally we contacted a local dealer under new management. Salesman was Great. Entire deal conducted by telephone until paperwork had to be signed. Got what we wanted at the price we were willing to pay. No hassles. FJ is comfortable and like Rolls Royce, it has sufficient(actually more than sufficient) power. Manual Transmission model has all wheel drive,lockable center and rear differentials, excellent seats, fantastic sound system, is satelite radio ready, ground clearance is generous. This is a go anywhere vehicle, from off road where there are no trails to fight brush and forest fires to interstate trips on vacation and handles city driving without hesitation. Ride is very comfortable in all conditions, all roads. Our stable of vehicles include a 2006 Mustang GT, 1996 Toyota RAV 4(primary emergency response vehicle for fire and ambulance calls), 1979 Jeep CJ 5, 1996 Dodge Ram 3500,2004 Dodge Ram 2500, and a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. We are both healthly, very active senior citizens, and every one of our vehicles is well used and maintained.

Ive had my FJ for 2 months now and love it. Prior to purchase, I feared the MPG, but am very satisified with the overall 19mpg, (21 on the road). She is solid and rides really smooth for a SUV. The rear visibility is horrendous, but I have learned how to manage it with the large mirrors and rearview camera.
