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

It is uncomfortable, small, and awkardly designed. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

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

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

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

The best thing is the flexibility of the cabin configuration. I have tall in-laws and my wife and I are both tall, so the adjustments you can make to the cabin configuration depending on the use are important. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

See above. When we are alone, we put the back seats all the way forward and the front seats all the way back, maximizing hauling space. When accompanied, we change it to maximize rear passenger spce. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

Seat is okay on the interstate, but on a twisty road - forget it! Good thing it has a drivers door and a console, otherwise you would fall out or wind up in the passenger seat. Speaking of the console, what a joke!!! Idiot that designed that should be see full Chevrolet Equinox review
