Not a real offroader like Land Cruiser

>>28821621
Don't care about off-roading. Daughter will drive it to school, practice and work.
I want a car with some ground clearance to give her a margin of error.

>>28821620
Just realized, I meant to say
>are they* any good?

Is your daughter 18?

>>28821623
No, the FJ Cruiser seems like a pretty bad choice. It's a less practical 4Runner.

>>28821636
She will be in a few months. She can already start driving but she needs her own car soon.
>>28821640
It's much cheaper and shorter than a 4Runner so I figured it'd be less risk if she were to mess it up / less difficult to drive given the shorter profile.

>>28821620
It is a solid car but simply the visibility is not great to the point I wouldn’t recommend it for a new driver. Both forward to the bumpers and left/right blind spots for on the freeway.

>>28821623
then just get a durango or a grand cherokee

The element is the same way with its massive A pillars. Must be a structural thing from weird doors.

>>28821623
>some ground clearance to give her a margin of error.
You'll want something a little more heavy duty if she plans on running over children older than 5 years old age.

>>28821646
>less difficult to drive given the shorter profile.
People saying visibility is bad aren't joking. It's pretty bad. Now imagine foid depth perception on top of things.

It's a damn good car but I'd go for a 4Runner over it. Jeep if she's into cars and can stand the horrible noise.

>>28821803
I don't view those as reliable.
>>28821808
You haven't been around women long enough anon
>>28821780
Fair point and I agree the visibility isn't as good as say a 4Runner. But I'm thinking of adding those convex mirrors that will help.
Plus the version I'm looking at has a reversible camera and parking sensors so I feel good about that.
>>28821812
Dumb comment
>>28821823
See above for visibility, valid point.
Regarding the 4Runner, too expensive for a youngsters first car.

Seconded, post daughter feets
Also you should know every girl/guy that gets FJs are total fags and sluts
Right pecker inspector car, I don't know a single dude who owns one that isn't a homosexual with an affinity for browns.
Don't do that to your daughter.
But do post her feet or bikini pics.

Parking sensor is a good idea. I’ve never driven a big truck before, but the FJ is what I imagine it feels like with the chunky pillars and view down the hood. In a sense it feels bigger than it is. Fun fact in Japan they have these side mirror on the front left to help with visibility, much more needed on small Japanese streets.

My dad had one and I learned stick on it, driven other SUVs before.

>>28821620
you're nuts to spend that much on a first car but you do you.
It's a Toyota, it'll be fine.

>>28822004
Those mirrors are not a bad idea... only worried that she'll focus too much on them hence I suggested the little convex mirrors that go on the actual mirrors themselves.
Good to hear that you learned on the car, makes me hopeful that it's a decent beginner car for my daughter.
>>28822009
I'm getting one for 9K with 130K miles with one owner, no rust.
2WD hence the fact it's cheap.

>>28821620

>>28822124

I'm considering your daughter, anon. She cute?

>>28822050
>2WD hence the fact it's cheap.
The fuck? Not worth it at any price. Buy a lesbaru.

>>28822166
Carfax has oil changed every 5-6K miles.
>>28822819
Why not? I live in Florida, we simply don't need 4WD.

>>28822864
$9k is a lot for a high school girl. Are you going to replace it or fix it if she fucks it up cosmetically? Or are you going to make her continue driving it as it is?

- Parking bollards
- Friends jumping in and out and hitting the doors against metal poles, other cars, etc.
- Parties with lots of people parked in one driveway. Lots of scraping.
- She may think it's a legit offroad vehicle (because it looks like one) and drive faster in rain or snow

I would buy my daughter a $4k Accord or Sonata. I would buy her a portable battery jumper for $30 and teach her to use it and to keep it charged. I would buy her a battery pack for her phone in case her battery is dead. I would teach her death isn't the worst that could happen in a crash - she could live with a permanent disability.

A big car =/= safer

>buying your daughter a Hyundai
since you clearly don't love her, can I be the father figure she's missing?

>>28822893
I've never driven a Toyota long. I have nothing bad to say about them short term.

Hyundai is indestructible. I'm sorry you got filtered.

>>28822893
She's well catered for with simps already, champ

>>28822887
Yes she will drive it even if she cosmetically messes with it. She values the things we give her so I'm sure she'll drive with care.
She won't off road and she doesn't go to parties unless they're at church, so I don't have any issues.
I was considering those two cars you mentioned but want her to have some ground clearance since women are awful with curbs. My daughter is no different.

>>28821839
>You haven't been around women long enough anon
I promise you that giving them a big ass SUV with poor visibility will only make it worse.

>>28822897
>Hyundai is indestructible
Someone clearly didn't tell the engine design team that

>>28822900
Does she call all of them Daddy as well?

Put your penis away anon, this isn't the place, There will be an OnlyFans somewhere even you can afford

Onlyfans is free, you just go to one of the siterips.

>>28821620
Great car but don't get it for your daughter. Its a dedicated off-roader with alot of concessions made in pursuit of that goal. Visibility in the FJ is dogshit.

>>28821623
Do not get your daughter an FJ Cruiser. They are rare to begin with, we don't need another being driven into the ground. A CRV, Outback, or RAV4 would be much better choices. They would likely be much cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, and likely safer for when she eventually nails a tree doomscrolling while driving.

FJ Cruisers were meant to be used anon
>>28821620
Good choice.

>>28823560
>FJ Cruisers were meant to be used
Not as commuter cars

10 years ago you were a quirky faggot in a hideous tonka truck toy car in the FJ cruiser but things have gotten so bad these are 4x4 holy grails selling for $20k minimum in any condition

>>28823562
You could literally say that about most cars.

>>28823577
Most cars are designed for exactly that, actually.

>>28823580
No SUV or truck was meant to be a commuter car.

>>28822819
This is the correct answer. Get a used crosstrek. Lots of ground clearance for her to run over the neighbor's lawn gnome, cheap, and unlike the FJ, you can actually see out of it

>>28823113
You would know, gooner

>>28822887
>Accord or Sonata
Sedans are death traps in America, there's a reason nobody buys them and every manufacturer is discontinuing production of them.

what do you think people that live in suburbs do for work?

>>28821623
Then a Mazda CX-5 will do, she doesn't need a more expensive vehicle if its all for just commuting in urban areas, besides it's also quite safe if she has the bad luck to be involved in a crash.

>>28821620
>suv
why are you teaching your child to have shit taste?

>>28821620
No. The visibility is awful, which is an often overlooked aspect of safety. Also as a young guy who did not become a car guy until recently and certainly did not enjoy driving in high school, please consider getting her something smaller and lower to the ground. SUVs are not easy or pleasurable to drive for a new driver especially. Not to mention you have death wobble on the highway with those 4x4s. Maybe just get her a vw golf or a civic or something like that.

>>28821621
landcruisers are buildt on the same platforms and are quite succesfull offroaders. artic trucks buildt these with 37" on the "stock" front suspension, up to 35" on stocl. they only go solid front axle once you get above that but its not a must-have its just impractical and weak not doing so. definetly an offroader, even bone stock.

>>28821839
>I don't view those as reliable.
yeah if you redline them and never change the oil like niggers do yeah they'll tick at 50k miles. even with a lifter tick they'll thug it out for years. when jap cars shit the bed, they SHIT the bed.

My friend had one in high school, he said his only gripe was that the visibility out of the rear windows was atrocious because it's small and the spare tire is in the way.

>>28828352
I learned to drive with my father's 2011 x164 gl350 cdi. I could comfortably navigate cities and park anything under the sun after that . Had great visibility too and was a comfy highway cruiser, as well as being very torquey and fun to drive on countryside roads. Granted, I lived out in the sticks, so probably less suited to urban experiences.

>>28821839
>Regarding the 4Runner, too expensive for a youngsters first car.
Why not get an older gen (3rd or 4th gen) or even in the same year range as the FJ Cruiser, should be at the same price point as the FJ if anything likely even cheaper especially the V6 models.
