I drive a 4runner. I have always tried to steer people away from buying them. As for the new ones I don't like the body style. I don't think that they are supercharged. Toyota doesn't have much experiance with the v8. However they don't break down. But they are so freaking expensive. That is what bothers me. They depreciate fast and everybody has one. If you want a toyota get the new Lexus Ex300. They are going to have a new body style and they look nice. Plus it is cheaper. My girlfriends mom wanted a toyota but bought a land rover discovery because it was cheaper. For that amount of money it is up to you on what to spend it on. I am just letting you know what I think about it.

Another to consider when looking into a 4-runner. The are expensive to insure. Not sure why, but when i was looking at getting one a few years back, it was amazingly expensive.

Imagine a 16 year old driving one cause that was how old I was when I got mine. My mom thought it would be less cause it was an SUV. My Fd was alot cheaper to insure. Not sure why they cost so much either but they do! Thats why I said to look into other choices.

The 4runners used to be grossly underpowered, I guess that isnt the

case anymore.



I can rememeber when I was 20 I was going to get one, the insurance

at that time was 3600 a year, I asked how much to insure a Corvette- 3700 a year



go figure?

My guess is they are expensive to repair. They dont seem to be a car that is likely to get stolen often. *shrugs*
