YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Not wide enough for circumferentially challenged bodies. Bottom cushion too narrow, confined bolsters, not long enough under thighs. see full Toyota 4Runner review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser

2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD
Difficulty entering/exiting rear passenger area see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
It is uncomfortable, small, and awkardly designed. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Back seat is not built to have adults riding there. May be ok for children but is difficult to put a child seat in the rear as well. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
6-speed manual AWD w/low range
Cramped rear seating - putting 3 people back there would be really pushing it. The only bonus is that the rear seats fold down flat (I love that). see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
Rear suicide doors are cool - unless you have to use them. Easier than no door, but hard to access for adults or kid seats. Really a 2 person back seat, 3 is not good. Rear seat visibility is poor, front view blocked and side posts take out side view. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2007 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6

too small see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
