| 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 |

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 |

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 |
