1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited review from North America
"A bumpy, expensive ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof constantly leaked and had to be repaired every 5 months. Had to be completely replaced, along with the roof lining once because of mildew.
Have had to replace shocks twice a year for the past three years, and have also had to replace struts multiple times.
The CD 3-disc changer has broken and had to be replaced twice.
General comments?
Extremely uncomfortable ride. Does not absorb even normal road bumps.
Cup holder very inconvenient. Drinks spill with minor bumps, and block view of clock in dash.
Looks nice from the outside.
