2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I'm 36, I served in the military for 12 yrs. rough, tough and rugged reliable rigs at work, and jeep wranglers at home. I've never even considered anything else. purchase a wrangler, smittybilt bumpers, black rims, and rugged mud tires for the snow, mud ect........... now, over a decade later 100% IU disabled vet with a bad back and no leg from my left knee down, I was devestated. no … clutch lol.... so, i decided to open my options. in the entire car/suv/and 4x4 line up I was about to throw my hands up. then I saw a FJ extremely attractive from the outside. I don't want to say "boxy" but it wasn't all aero dynamic- It looked like a SUV built for a man. Then I saw the inside. WOW!
I held the Toyota in such high regards- I've upgraded to a TRD Sr5 4Runner!
Which is everything and more than I could have imagined!
Love my FJ in so many ways!

2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I have had my FJ for ten months now and still enjoy driving it very much. I owned cars for most of my driving years and wanted a SUV since we were moving into the mountains of WV. and thought a 4x4 would serve my needs better. This vehicle does just that and more...the seats are comfortable and the turning radius is great. Inside the cabin is quiet while driving and gives me a feeling … that I am riding in a safe vehicle. I purchased the soild white color and couldn't be any happier with my decision on this SUV!

While the blind spots are real and the gas mileage is not why you buy this ...I am loving every minute of owning it so far.
YOU'LL EITHER LOVE THEM OR HATE THEM!!

2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I have wanted one since "07" and finally have a 2012 4x4 automatic. If you're one that likes to look out the side of your auto to see what's beside you forget it in this ride, I've always used my mirrors so it doesn't bother me. If you have hair on your head and like to ride with your window down you better carry a cap for when you get out cause your hair well be parted right above your … ear. There will be no equalizing the wind blow by trying to equalize with the other window nor with side window visors. When stopping at some stop lights you'll need to get use to looking up from the steering wheel.
I do truely love mine, the gas mpg is great even pulling my 21' bass boat. Love'm or hate'm.
