Happy Monday my chinas.
I currently have ownership of two vehicles. One a Honda Jazz that the lady of the house uses and the other one a vehicle that is supplying me with it's intended purpose 100%.
I have an itch in the back of my sides that causes me start looking around for a new vehicle every once in a while.
This time the toyota FJ cruiser is the vehicle that has been taking attention from me for the last couple of weeks.
From people who own, or have owned one of these machines, how was your experience with it?
1. How bad is the mileage? Like how many kilometers could you get off a tank?
2. How tricky are those passenger back doors if you have a childrens in the back? Do you have to plan ahead when finding a parking spot so you can open the doors?
3. What irritated you the most that you just couldn't get over.
a.How many times have you almost driven over another car in your blind spot? Is it fairly easy to overcome the apparent massive blind spot on this vehicle?
4. How was the insurance on this?
My idea is to swap the Jazz for the FJ. If the missus doesn't like the FJ, she's more than welcome to use my other car. We both drive around only about 5 to 10 kms a day.
The idea is that I have an offroader that is still capable of hi-way speeds. I already have a diesel, so I would like to go for a large petrol engine this time.
What I like about the cruiser is
it's looks.
It's short stubby nature.
It's headroom for the driver.
It's 4.0 litre V6 engine.
That it's reliable (toyota)
It has funky back doors that's different from anything I've had before.
It's a really good offroader.
It's good at freeway speeds.
It has big wheels.
It feels like I'm driving a tank or some other military piece of equipment.
Please change or re-affirm my decicion to be obsessed with this.
If you have one or know someone who want's to sell one, please also let me know.
If you have one and you don't want to sell it, can I come and have a look at it and talk about it?
