Short comings
I have a 2007 FJ 4x4 with all the bells-and whistles; although I have had no mechanical difficulties, I have to say that it is not without its problems. Its paint chips if the wind blows, its all over the road with wind over 25 mph, has dangerous blind spots, too wide for most off road situations, weak tie rods, front windows break easily due to shape/angel e, frames on some are weak and buckle, some have weak rear differential, terrible transmission, poorly designed for water usage for a 4x4, (short rods in motor so if you make a mistake in the water you will have to replace the motor), poor gas mileage, engine wines over 40 mph, even with change of tires its squarely on slick surfaces (
FJ Time
Great vehicle and fun to drive. Very stable on the highway and on curves. Does not feel top heavy like you would think that it would. Dealer support when check engine came on was lacking. Replaced 2 oxygen sensors per their diagnosis. Neither fixed the check engine light. Went back for a third visit and they said it must be a catalytic converter, a $900 repair. I've just been ignoring the check engine light since, about 10,000 miles ago and it still runs great! Maybe a piece of black tape over the light is all the repair that is needed. I would highly recommend this vehicle and am glad that I bought this one. I bought it with 52k miles and it now has 165k and still runs great!

Some flaws
I have been very disappointed with the FJ! Current Land Rover owner... don't think for a second that you're getting one of those for $30K. First impression driving, very WEAK on power. The wife's Accord has way more get up and go. Rear visibility is tolerable for GREAT drivers, for average ones look out. Cannot believe those tiny windows in the back don't even open, the back seat is like a crypt. Can't see anything outside, so much for an "off-road" vehicle. Storage space is also very limited. If ALL you will use this for is off- roading, fine, but it's no commuter.
Got Skunked!
Our FJ is black, and with the white roof we nicknamed it the Skunk... we just added tint to the windows all the way around and love the change it made in the look and feeling inside. I originally considered a Honda Element, Nissan Frontier, and Xterra, but after driving them and then finally seeing and then driving the FJ there was not longer any doubt which one we wanted. We had to drive 600 miles round trip to get one, but it was worth it. I'm a photographer and need versatility.
I LOVE MY FJ CRUISER
I first saw the FJ Cruiser on the computer last year, I loved the look of it and when it came out in April of 2006 I found a dealer and took it for a test drive. That's all it took, I'm hooked. I have the Voodoo Blue loaded with all the extra. I love the drive it gives you, not truck like but smoother and turning, you feel nice and safe. Hey it's a Toyota how can you go wrong... you can't. I just know this is going to be a long lasting vehicle. I'm driving in style. I love my FJ Cruiser. Vickie
