Consumer Reports... FJ scores too low to recommend

[Jill]

Bought a 97 Chevy Cavalier because at the time CR rated it up there with the best small cars. In a few more years they was rating it among the very worst. It wasn't a very good car for sure, but I listened to them once and watched them do a 180 on what I'd bought so never again.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post. Anyone see the last couple of issues of Consumer Reports? The FJ scored great in just about EVERYTHING, but failed to earn their seal of approval because of poor visability. You know blind spots, etc. They don't even mention the rear sonar. How do you all feel about this? I think the FJ is the BEST suv in it's class and we should write them and let them know what's up. BTW they consider the FJ a compact suv... I do believe it's a bit bigger than a Kia...

I read that article but did you notice the part where they reported 85% of owners "would buy again"! I rest my case. This is one hell of a truck which I will never sell.
