"...in the Real World"? Are you sure it was CNN and not MTV?

Both are experts in 4 wheel drive in my view. ;-)

Re: CNN ranks the FJ lowest of 3 reviewed :-(

Im concluding this review was really only looking for the best Minivan/drop the kids at soccer vehicle marketed as an off-road wanna-be vehicle- because I know for a fact the FJ has the best on-road performance, and also beats the H3 on milage and price and cost of ownership, handling, reliability- CNN Money should be ashamed of this review.

Someone had to throw the GM guys a bone since they are paying for so much advertisement.

The FJ will be out in the "real" world while the wrangler and H3 will be in the "repair" world.

Re: CNN ranks the FJ lowest of 3 reviewed :-(



Take reviews with a grain of salt. The odds are someone is paying the reviewers somehow, either with straight cash or advertisments...

As long as you like your FJ, that's all that matters. Can't please everyone!!

Sounds like the driver doesn't know how to drive. Two of the paragraphs are JUST about "visibility issues" Learn how to drive... use mirrors... adjust your seat then write a review.
