The FJ Cruiser is the perfect imperfect vehicle. Just like a stick shift, if forces you to pay more attention to your surroundings, only because it has horrible blind spots. The tech-barren, knob filled console really minimizes distractions as well. The rubberized and plastic interior means you don’t have to worry much about dirt or sand. The engine - although an old design - has plenty of power. I never find myself asking for more from it.
