1998 Toyota Tacoma review from North America
"In a word, phenomenal!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced both O2 sensors at 90000 miles.
Replaced Air Conditioning condenser at 90,000 miles. It seems that road salt ate thru it... common problem in the North East.
General comments?
I LOVE IT. Much like my wife's Camry, it's very dependable. It's a regular cab, short box and it's as much fun to drive as my MGB (only the top doesn't go down). No matter how I drive it, I average between 25 and 28 mpg. In the winter I put studded snows on all four corners and drive through everything with no need for any weight in the back.
