2003 Toyota Tacoma xtra cab review from North America
"Wonderful for 2!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I found that when at a stop light the truck sometimes swerves upon acceleration and the tires squeal.
I do not take off fast this is a regular acceleration.
The brake system hesitates a tad bit.
General comments?
This truck I would recommend if you do not have any kids. My husband and I had this truck for 9 months and then got tired of it because the cost of gas and that the 'extra cab' wasn't worth it. Any time we took more than two people it was very uncomfortable and cramped. We recently traded it for a 2003 Toyota Camry, we still have our 2001 Dodge Neon which is a horrid nightmare.
