The difference being that the Tacoma has always been proven to be solid. While S-10s & 1zt gen Colorado’s were not so much. The new Colorado is darn nice, but who knows how it will last until time answers that one. The “new/old” Tacoma will likely not have unforseen issues.
Corolla All The Things

Best and most problem free used cars I’ve owned had over 200k on them, My current DD has 300k. The only things absurdly high mileage mean to me now are: Lower sale price, lower wear highway miles, and usually better upkeep.
In the trunk an 84’ Corolla SR-5, an equally 80s era condom box with condom poking out the sides of the decrepit box. And a nearby tube of lipstick, that clearly had been bitten off... Yum!
Likewise pilots probably said the same thing about HUDs when they first debuted, and how they preferred iron sights. Certainly it will have teething pains, but some day it might be just as universal as they are now.
Don’t forget the mid-80s SR-5. It’s the V-6 mustang of the import world, looks like an AE86 drives like a crapcan. Thanks to it’s low revving 70HP engine, spagetti swaybars, it’s 100% as awful as the early 80s version.
We used to have an old 92 non-turbo model with canvas doors/tops for exercises, it honestly seemed gear limited more than anything. Fastest we ever got it GPS confirmed was around 62. This was foot to the floor, down a slight hill.
It just fills me with XTasy that they lived.
Ran when last parked 44 years ago.
Just looked at those results, that guy is a gosh darned hero. <3
Fun seeing this game mentioned, I’ve been heading a project that’s been patching the old girl up. I absolutely hate the rubberbanding/parts are useless against AI, but there is a ton of work that will need to be sorted that aspect in a fair manner. Some of the more hardcore online tracks were simply insane as well, at…
The endurance, extra weight military cargo planes have makes them less than ideal for it. Though it’s an option on C-130s. With the amount of fuel a fully fueled up C-17 burns in a long flight, you could easily fuel a few cars for an entire year.
Any pre-2002 USDM turbo Beetle. It’s tiny, on a car with 150hp and it only deploys above 93MPH. It’s fairly likely that few owners even know it’s there, let alone ever had it deploy in the US.
Have to say some of the old Taco's they use over there look much like the Hilux at the end of that top gear episode. Dents everywhere, missing windows, near no interior, with some off-road mods and nice suspension. They blend right in there, despite looking like they should have been scrapped.
Great job finishing 7 out of 7, CVT just kicked in yo!
It's been going on for awhile now, around the time of the SS appearance-only package GMs.
I've been daily driving a mostly 1986 Corolla SR-5, for about 6 years now. This is the model of the AE86 (This isn't Japan-land, so yes it is AE86) nobody wants. Makes around a raw 70 carburated horsepower to the crank with power peaking well below 4k RPM. Despite it's 306k on the odometer currently, it is probably…

I'm in this group, I thought it was something only common on really low-end economy cars/top-end sports cars. But then again my primary DD is over 30 years old, so it's not like I've been shopping around. Still I'd feel at some point you'd poke around back there when looking at a new car.
Start with a V6 Camry?
