Anybody own an FJ Cruiser?

Im looking into a new car and I was wondering what people thought of FJ Cruisers. They are rated to 16 miles to the gallon but I heard they actually get 22 is this right?

  • I have a 2007 FJ, I just took a long trip, from Kansas City to Tacoma Wa. and back. The mileage was pretty much as advertized, about 18 was average on the highway. When it was really wind in South Dakota the mileage was much worse, around 15 MPG. This is the second time I did this trip in two years and the other time... Read More
  • my brother has one and when he bought it it had the Borla exhaust and it got about 20mpg but he put 40" mud terrains and a lift on it and now it gets like 8 or 10.
  • depends if you get 4 or 6 cylinder and wheel size, as well as induction and exhaust and yes I am talking new. A 4 will get apporx 20-26 and 6 is 18-25.
  • 16 to 18 city...20 to 22 highway....They are not very aero dynamic....My 72 Fj40 gets about 9 or10.... Reference:25 year cruiser owner....I got 3 now.

Other Choices:

The Xterra and Wrangler are both vehicles that, like the FJ Cruiser, draw people based on their styling and off-road prowess, and it’s mostly a matter of which styling suits you best. All three are very capable off-road, but the Xterra is arguably the best for those who plan to tow or haul gear on the road; its V-6 feels especially perky on the road compared to the nearly equally sized engines in the other two vehicles, and it handles a bit better on the road. The Wrangler now has a full array of safety features, along with much better handling than the old version, but its interior is slightly inferior to the others, and it still has more wind noise than the others due to its boxy shape. The Xterra’s interior is much roomier and more versatile than the FJ’s, which has an especially cramped backseat. Although it’s not much more expensive, the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser feels like a more expensive vehicle inside and out, which may give it an advantage over the Xterra.
