In my opinion Toyota FJ is a cool car with funky personality. The Japanese company was very creative when designing this model. It looks like the hummer H3 a bit, but it is smaller and cheekier than a H3. Better looking and cheaper! FJ will put a smile on your face when you drive it. However, you won’t be happy if you set in the back. The seating area is restricted and you may ask the driver to stop the car to get out and do some exercises to move blood in your legs. No worries, the car still offers some good features such as the color, cat-Back Exhaust and VIP security lock.

When it comes to the performance, Toyota FJ isn’t that fast, but it is powerful that won’t disappoint you especially when driving off-road. It comes with 4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve engine which can generate up to 240bhp at 5200rpm and a torque of 278lb ft at 3800rpm. The car can reach 100kph in 8sec. The tested top speed of Toyota FJ was only 185kph. The car comes with a unique ignition system (TDIS). The most interesting thing in this car is the drive-train. It is rear-wheel 2WD or part-time 4WD for automatic transmission models; full-time 4WD for manual transmission models; automatic limited-slip differential (2WD model). Maybe the hummer H3 is much stronger than Toyota FJ, but FJ price has the advantage over the H3. You will pay less for the same fun time!
