In response to blind spots, at first I had an adjustment period. I have since gotten used to a good view. I have to admit that I bought my FJ without test driving it. I drove it right before I paid for it. The cargo space is a bit limited and the access to the back seat is a bit odd, but I have enjoyed the heck out of it. It feels alot more "zippy" than the GMC Envoy I was previously driving. The information I got about the limited supply was about 45,000. I hope that is right. My FJ is black with white. I like the way it stands out. My boyfriend drives a black Jeep Wrangler-- Imagine that!! Have fun!!! I even ordered a black "GOT FJ" t-shirt...

#9 of 14 Be careful . . . FJ Cruiser with Roof Rack by maxload

Jun 02, 2006 (12:13 pm)

I just got an FJ Cruiser last weekend and although it's a great car and it certainly does command attention, I have one slight problem with the height of the car with the added roof rack. I can't fit into the garage at my work with a clearance of 6'3". Keep this in mind if you're looking to buy one. I haven't had any problems with blind spots, but visability out the rear window is limited and will take some getting used to. Other than that, it's a great car so far.

Funny you should mention that - Edmunds just added one to the long term fleet:
 
"More than a few editors noted how high the FJ stands with the optional roof rack, something we figured out real quick after barely making it into our underground parking garage."
 
Long-Term Test: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

#11 of 14 What about the 4X2's ? by bbug1

Jun 17, 2006 (5:52 pm)

I bought a 4X2 and have noticed that most owners posting on the FJ forums have the 4X4's. While I'm not interested in rugged off-roading, I would like to think that my FJ is capable for navigating terrain that my prior ride couldn't go---2005 Honda Ody(zzzzzzzzzzzzzz).
So far I am in love with this ride! This is my pre-mid-life-crisis "car" and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Lots of great posts over in Straightline about the SEMA show, including this FJ rig:
 
TLC Canyon Runner FJ Cruiser
 
It's a "street killer" - sorry Bbug, it's still the 4x4 flavor.
 

 
There's also an entry about a FJ "Rat Rod."

Hey "Girl" have you gotten a reply yet?? I am going to buy an FJ and a few shady dealers have told me limited production... from what I have read it is not limited production.

total Production for the 2007 model was slated for 46,000
 
compared to the 500,000 Camry's Toyota will build that is limited production
