Overall, I still think that the new FJ Cruiser is great, and give it 9 FJammers out of 10. It's rough and tough, but refined at the same time. Did I also point out how cool looking it is? Not to mention my boyfriend and friends loved having it around. And chances are if the FJ is the vehicle you have your heart set on, you will too.
