2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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 5-speed automatic RWD	too small see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
