| 2010 | 4dr SUV 259-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range |
Rear seats are cramped. Access is awful, with strange half-doors that require front doors to be open before they can be opened. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |

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 |
