Ranking	Details
#1	New Toy Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: This is an off road vehicle with on road manners. The ride is very good on pavement as well as handling and performance. It has the ability to tow 5000 pounds. Cons: Nothing Overall: When shopping for an SUV of this class, give the FJ a look. After you take it for a test ride, you will be sold. Take everything else out first so you can compare. Once you do, you will be done...
#2	More than I expected! Source: Cars.com ...This is one of my most loved purchases. It may be classified as a "utility" vehicle, but this business woman LOVES hers. VERY comfortable, smooth ride and no one out does Toyota's transmission. I never even feel it shift! I must say I wasn't too keen on the color combos that were the only option until the later models, but getting to purchase a solid iceberg white made it the perfect vehicle for me. It's roomy, safe and now available with all the bells and whistles. I LOVE MY FJ!! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants the great value and craftsmanship that Toyota offers along...
#3	Just what you'd expect... Source: Edmunds ...If you are considering buying this car, you are likely looking for something rugged, durable, reliable, and fun to drive. This meets all expectations. I have had my 2012 FJ for 1 month now and couldn't be happier. It gets the same gas mileage as a the Highlander, drives and handles great, is actually just as quiet (or quieter) than my friends' Audi S4 (except at speeds over 70mph, then of course there is more wind noise). I get compliments everyday on the car. It's spacious, reliable, rugged, unique, fun to drive, handles snow/ice/mud great, what else do you want? If...
#4	Bogus Numbers!!! Source: Cars.com ..."I want you all to know that these prices are not factual pricing. They do not represent that acutal pricing that you will find at a dealership. Best bet, just call the dealership yourself and ask for pricing..."...
#5	Laughing at the "professional" reviews Source: Edmunds ...It's appears the reviewers don't understand the purpose of the FJ. This is no commuter car SUV, it is a body on frame vehicle with significant off-road capability. I have no issues with visibility or blind spots; check your mirrors and look out the window... My 11 year old son loves the back of this thing and the wife likes the ride better than our Ram 1500 quadcab. I got 18.5 mpg on the first tank and expect better as the engine breaks in. I bought this vehicle knowing what I was looking for and I'm thrilled with it. Can't wait to hook the camper to it and head to Marble, CO...
#6	Great truck Source: Cars.com ..."This is not a luxury vehicle ride. It is a truck like vehicle with terrific performance and the degree of comfort that you would expect. I chose the manual transmission which provides options for driving in tough conditions, the kind of conditions where this vehicle excels. Add a quality set of snow tires and you can't do better."...
#7	FJ Cruiser, The Best Bang for the Buck Source: MSN Autos ...Pros: The FJ Cruiser has lots of room for 5 and cargo. The handling is great on or off the road. Cons: None, however the MPG rating is off. I am getting about 3 1/2 mpg better. Overall: I bought my FJ off the toyota new car lot. It didn't have the Bilsteen shocks and did sway a little on the test drive. I worked my saleman on price and then told him I would close if he replaced the shocks. The dealer ordered them and installed them within 48 hours. The Bilsteens make a big difference...
#8	Love my FJ in so many ways! Source: Edmunds ...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!...
