I really like the mid model update for the front end of the new 4Runner, it gives a more aggressive look that is desirable for me. I also like the overall look of the newer 4Runners. The cabin seems to have plenty of room for me and I am a pretty large guy. I like the bolstering of the front seats, they are very comfortable. There is plenty of room to carry things in the back and the middle seats fold down for even more room, if necessary. 4runners are known to have superior quality compared to other vehicles in its class. This is reflected with my vehicle, I have had no issues with is yet. I only get around 15-16 miles per gallon in my 4runner which leaves a lot to be desired from me. this is where my biggest gripe comes in. The 4runner in an immensely popular vehicle, but if you don't plan to off-road, it simply doesn't make much sense. It gets too poor of gas mileage, seems underpowered, and lacks some of the features of its competition now. Not to mention, it rides like a truck due to being of a cabin over frame design. If I had to do it over again, I would have probably purchased a newer GM pickup. That way I would have a bed, more power, and about the same, if not better gas mileage. But, overall the 4runner is pretty fun to drive while felling slightly underpowered.

Very reliable and great on gas. I have put 50,000 trouble free miles on it. I have only had to do routine maintenance, and it is great for a family car, and I use it to race in. I have had it for about 2 years, and I always buy Honda. I have had several Civics and Integras. The 2012 is very great on gas with its aerodynamic shaped body. The r18 engine has plenty of power for what it is. Mine is a automatic, but I wish I would have got the manual. I have put cold air intake and full exhaust on it. It is a sedan lx. I like to pick up scrap metal in it.
