Toyota Tacoma Change Vehicle

"The 4 cylinder engine is somewhat underpowered."

"wish I had gotten a 5 speed manual transmission"

"the good. lots of power, the bad. transmission is hard to service. and the gas milage is not great for the size of the vehicle"

"When I turn from a full stop like backing out of the driveway it is not a smooth ride. The truck seems to shimmy until it straightens out."

"Acceleration is adequate. In spite of stiff suspension, the handling is poor, and I find that I have to drive a bit slower than I would in a different vehicle when negotiating twisting roads or sharp bends. The suspension feels mushy at these times. I have experienced sideways hop when going over rough bridge joints that are at an angle to the road. Overall, I drive this vehicle more cautiously than I might a car."

"After owning 4 Toyota trucks previously this one is a disappointment. It's size was increased for no good purpose and the engine was not made adequate to this new size. Steering is slow and balky. Parking is like driving a 40 mule team. Even a slight hill causes downshifting and on a long hill loss of speed is inevitable. "I should have bought the larger engine" said sales person. NO, I should have bought a different brand of truck. Gas mileage is abysmal. With a larger engine it would hav"

"Handles and drives easily"

"Great power, takes curves well."

"Wind noise from drivers and passenger door s (not sealing completely)."

"Very noisy ride which I was told was due to the tires"

"The A/C unit went completely after year 3 just after warranty was up. Had dealer replace the failed compressor. 3 years later the condenser is now gone. Each one was a 4 figure repair."

"I'm very disappointed that the a/c compressor went bad so soon, 27,000 miles."

"I was very surprised how comfortable this vehicle is in ride and noise. I owned a Lincoln LS V 6 simultaneously for 3 years, and it was as good as the Lincoln in most respects."

"It is a four wheel drive and it rides rough as a cob...which I expect...but the seats are also hard which doesn't make the ride very comfortable. We have taken this truck out West for the last three years and the road ride is okay as long as you're on a smooth road. Off road isn't any more than expected for a four wheel drive truck, you're going to feel the bumps."

"Weak fan with only four speeds, so I have to run it on high or next-to-high speed a lot. No key lock on the passenger door."

"seats need lumbar support also better padding material"

"I would prefer to have more lumber support in the seats. The "driving' position seems to be a little low."

"The turning radius is terrible the a/c really does not cool people in the back. Also I would prefer an in dash video screen. I had to replace two ujoints and both wheel bearings"

"Driving/frt passenger seating is uncomfortable for a taller person. Had issues with getting heat/air to the floor/feet area-they finally got it fixed."

"handles well, climate control responds quickly, drive is quiet"

"Seats are uncomfortable, sits too low. Ride is harsh."

"This truck is ok for going back & forth to work, but for an extended drive is noisy and uncomfortable."

"The seats need more adjustment. No way to tilt seat base. Too flat."

"This version is the base model so it has 1 bench seat all the way across. I would prefer a separate driver's seat from the rest of the bench."

"Seating is not the most comfortable and has no adjustment"

"As comfortable to drive as a Sedan"

"I've noticed CR reviews saying the seats were quite low. As a 6'5" male, I felt the Tacoma offered better headroom than Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, & Honda. I guess it all depends on your individual perspective."

"Seats are not very comfortable on long trips. More could be done in the area of design and padding to assure comfort."

"The body styling and dependability of the engine and its related components."

"Basic truck with bulletproof reliability"

"Resale is very good."

"We were looking for a plain truck and this is the truck. Nothing fancy but it get the job done. Did not want any special features."

"It is the right size and fit ."

"Front windshield view is limited. View blocked by posts. Hard to see directly in front needs some slant. Inside lots of room easy to controls. Like the Gage layout"

"The Tacoma looks rugged and stylish at the same time."

"The finish on one of the wheels has completely deteriorated."

"The seats are positioned way to low for comfort and visibility"

"It is a nice looking pickup"

"the good is. its tough vehicle and very reliable."
