I think I'm over it

Consumer Reports states that the Toyota FJ disappoints. They also headline an inset box with "Why We Can't Recommend the BMW X3 or Toyota FJ"

At least, the FJ is in good company (BMW?) in its ignominy.

[I]t's poorly suited for daily use. Visibility is quite poor and the rear-hinged doors are awkward. Routine and emergency handling is clumsy; the ride is compliant but unsettled.

On the other hand, the Toyota RAV4 (I drive a '98) is the most highly rated "Sporty SUV." So I guess I'll just stick with what I have.

I still think the FJ looks cool . . .
