2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Four-Wheel Drive
What it Is: A four-door, five-passenger four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle.
What's Hot: Rugged looks hark back to classic Toyota off-roaders.
What's Not: May be too rugged for some tastes.
Family Friendly Options: Navigation, back up camera, Bluetooth, premium audio.
How It Got Its Score: The 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser offers up five-passenger capability and plenty of cargo space. The four-wheel drive model here is equipped for serious off-road duty as well, but note that fuel economy is only so-so.
The 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser's styling is a throwback to classic Toyota off roaders like the FJ40 Land Cruiser. It also boasts much of the same rugged off-road capability, albeit with modern twists like electronic controls for the four-wheel drive system. If you like camping, especially if camping means exploring back-woods trails that few people frequent, then the five-passenger 2010 FJ Cruiser may be worth a look. Some noteworthy features include rear-hinged rear doors that make getting into the back seat easier, and a big cargo area. You can save $510 if you decide to opt for the six-speed manual transmission on the four-wheel drive model, too. Note that the FJ Cruiser suffers from notoriously bad rear visibility thanks to those thick vertical body panels at the rear, and the interior styling and decor leans toward durability than elegance or luxury. Still, hard-core off roaders with kids should definitely check this one out.
