Most of us don't buy a vehicle without comparing various models.
So, what was you 2nd choice (or more) when you were considering to buy your FJ Cruiser?
Re: What was you 2nd choice when purchasing the FJ?
I had no serious second choice ... unless you consider choice of color a second choice. I looked through the other SUV's (particularly the 4Runner and some smaller SUVs), but this was the only one that caught my attention and held it for any length of time. Considering the fact that I wanted a manual tranny and a rear cargo hold that had enough clearance for my great danes, AND that fared well (or was expected to fare well) on safety ratings & reliability, my choice of SUVs was quite limited. But that's ok, I loved the look/feel of this truck when I first laid eyes on it, and haven't looked back.
