OK what do you think of the FJ Cruiser........

[Andy C]

For some reason I fancy getting one of them for my wife - no idea why - it has just stuck in my mind - does anyone here actually have one.

She doesn't want an H3 - and for a moment scared the crap out of me by professing some interest in a ...........................sh1te I cant even type it - OK a Smart Car.

Luckily I talked her out of that insanity, she then fancied a Mini Cooper S - I have driven one of them and it was actually a fun little car to be honest - even with my 6'4" 250lb bulk stuffed in there.

I just want to put her in something a bit more practical and the FJ looks like a good bet.

Well, the FJ is a chick car.

Rearward vision is severely restricted due to design flaws of multiple wide pillars. Hope she likes cheap plastic because there's lots of it. And be prepared to lift and mod it if you're planning on doing any wheeling more challenging than a gravel driveway.

saw one fixed up at a 4 wheel parts grand opening, looked real capable, at least there are plenty of aftermarket stuff for it. For a daily driver blind spots would be a concern, best bet rent one a couple days and see if it fits

I have driven a couple... FWIW, they get up and go. As for wheeling? IF you plan to do some mods, it will be fun truck!!!! Drty is spot on with the blind spots though. THe side mirrors help quite a bit, but plan on getting used to that.
