1995 Toyota 4Runner

Pros: Endurance, power, speed, interior features.

Cons: Not one to mention, never had a single problem in 6 years!

The Bottom Line: This is absolutely the best SUV out there both for style and performance.

Review: My dad has owned this truck since 1995, and talk about iron clad. A true testimonial to its fine performance was illustrated in Summer of 2000 when my dad hit someone broad side at an intersection in my home town. The other car was totalled, my dad's...

Pros: reliable, tight interior, huge back area

Cons: pricey, cupholder in wrong place (1995)

Review: Before buying this SUV, I had only owned little bitty Hondas and Toyotas. Sporty little cars that zipped around corners but couldn't haul much more than groceries. I am a small person, so I wasn't sure how it would feel to drive a BIG truck. I test...

Pros: Sturdy, smooth, roomy, powerful, and fun to drive (with 5-speed.)

Cons: Aside from a short clutch, nada.

The Bottom Line: The 4Runner has spent very little time at the shop (except various fluid and tire changes) and, boy it is soo fun to drive!

Review: OVERVIEW

There are some cars out there that make you think about your personal preferences.

I'm not an SUV fan. I don't like them because they are not as safe as people make them to be, and they handle so sluggishly....

Pros: Reliability, room, off-road ability

Cons: Lacks power

The Bottom Line: Perfect for the job. Will probably never sell it.

Review: I think the first thing that should be said is, if you want a mini-van or sedan you shouldn't buy an SUV. Too many people want an SUV they can drive on the freeway, then complain that it doesn't handle like a sedan or accelerate like a sports car. This...

Pros: Reliability

Cons: Gas Guzzler

Review: After having driven my Dodge Intrepid for 7 years (5 years Eagle Vision, 2 years Intrepid) and scared to find out what was going to go wrong today, the Toyota has been a breath of fresh air. My girl friend has just bought a 95 Toyota 4-Runner and let me...

Pros: Elegant, reliable, good mileage compared to other SUVs in its class, Not limited anywhere

Cons: Back seat, acceleration

Review: I have a 95 Toyota 4 runner SR5 with all the options. I driven or owned about every sports utility out there between my parents SUVs and works and mine. Compared to all the other SUVs, I love this one the most. I has the elegant look to it but the 3 feet...

Pros: Reliability, Style & Space

Cons: High floor, underpowered, tight front seating (for 6' or taller drivers)

The Bottom Line: Buy this SUV*. Its reliable, looks great and keeps its value. * If your 6' and shorter.

Review: I have always owned a GM vehicle (S-Blazers) and have been disappointed in many areas of quality, fit and finish etc. The 4Runner does everything better than the GM's Ive owned. After 7 years of use and 111k, the 4runner runs well and EVERYTHING still...

Pros: roomy, good gas mileage in city

Cons: loses some degree of acceleration on steep inclines

Review: What a Vehicle!, I must say I am very impressed with our recent purchase of a Toyota 4Runner. Back in May my husband and I decided that it was time to get another "new-used" vehicle. We had SUV in our minds with our growing family, currently we...

Pros: VERY Reliable!, Solid, High ground clearance, Nice build quality, climate control works well

Cons: Poor Fuel economy, Engine power limited, imprecise HVAC levers

Review: I bought my '95 4runner from my mom and I swear to you, it has never had to have one part replaced or anything tuned and it runs like new. We live in Lake Tahoe, CA and in winter, this car is very good in snow and just works flawlessly! The 4runner is...

Pros: Rugged Vehicle, Handles Well in Bad Weather

Cons: ABS only in 2WD - fixed in later models; Mediocre Gas Mileage

Review: The 4-Runner is a great vehicle. I own a 1995, and am looking forward to purchasing the 2000 later this year. With over 50,000 miles, this vehicle has never needed service other than routine maintenance.

I bought a 4-Runner because of the...
