Re: reviewing FJC this week
I knew I struck gold when I found this forum board.
You guys (and hopefully gals) are asking questions that some journalists don't come up with when they have the engineers in front of them.
My tester is a 4x4 with six-speed manual tranny.
It is outfitted with the xjammer stereo system as well. Interior plastic could be improved, especially the door panels. As this is a pre-production unit, I certainly expect this plastic to be upgraded with at least some grain or softer materials. Side sill armrest is hot as blazes in this Texas sun when resting my arm.
Truck rides VERY well on road with minimal noise. Seating position is much more comfortable than H3. The truck even made a hit with my girlfriends dad who, let's just say is well into retirement years. He wants to take it to the deer lease.
This is one aspect that continues to surprise the mainstream is how well Toyota does with new vehicles across the spectrum of consumers.
Scion xB was a hit with folks way out of target demographic and FJC is proving to be following the same course.
More to come.
