Re: oh oh, fj crusier not so great

Consumer reports is good, but ridiculous sometimes. They rate sports cars bad because of comfort, tough and hard ride and no storage space. Well duh, it's a sports car.

Re: oh oh, fj crusier not so great

It's marketed as a capable off road vehicle, just as CR says...I tend to disagree with most critics...I like to make up my own mind.

Re: oh oh, fj crusier not so great

This is like 4Wheel Offroad doing a test on passenger cars and giving them bad ratings for low ground clearance.

Re: oh oh, fj crusier not so great

I would really like to know what kind of criteria C/R uses for it's tests. On the crappy roads here in Quebec my FJ rides smoother than my wife's Accord. And as for visibility...that is why it has side mirrors. The visibility in my old Chevy pick with cab on the back.....that was bad. I have the C/R magazine that tests all SUVs and pick ups. They gave higher ratings to vehicles with horrible reliabilty, bad resale value and poor consumer satisfaction just because they performed marginally well on the slalom course. BTW the FJ was tops in consumer satisfaction. That should tell them something eh!!
