During these difficult times, with the economy being down and gasoline prices’ reaching record highs, deciding to buy a car involves having to make a number of important considerations. Gone are the days when all a prospective car buyer needed to do was to pick a car he or she wanted and purchase it right away. Today, a consumer must take into consideration a number of important factors, such as the automobile’s practicality, comfort, utility, and of course, its affordability as well.

The good news for prospective car buyers, more specifically truck lovers, is that there is car that is not only easy to look at but gives good value for money as well. That, is the 2011 Toyota Tacoma.

The Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck that comes in a wide variety of body styles and trims: regular, access cab, double cab, and x-runner. All body styles can be purchased in either two or four wheel drive.

Moreover, in government crash testing, the 2011 Tacoma was awarded a top five star rating for its protection of passengers in both side-impact and frontal crashes.

Second, the engine offers a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, not what you would normally expect from a midsized pickup truck. Consumers have an option of buying a Tacoma with either a four cylinder engine or a six cylinder engines. For buyers who are more concerned about the truck’s power rather than its fuel efficiency, a 4.0 liter V6 engine is recommended. However, for drivers who do not plan on heavy hauling and prefer smoother rides, purchasing a Tacoma with a four-cylinder engine is recommended.

Third, it has an attractive exterior. Although many car experts agree that its design isn’t as flashy or stylish as other midsized trucks produced by Toyota’s competitors such as Nissan, Ford, and Dodge, it still has an impressive built and is definitely very easy on the eyes. In terms of space, double cabs have a choice of a five or six foot bed. Moreover, all beds come with a liner.

The seats of the car are comfortable and offer a generous amount of headroom and legroom.

Fifth, the 2011 Toyota Tacoma is extremely reliable with a reliability score of 6 out of 10. In addition to its wide-ranging line-up, every new Tacoma comes with a three year, 36,000 mile basic warranty.

Sixth, compared to other midsized pickups, the Tacoma is relatively more affordable with a price range estimated between $16,492 and $27,221.

In Conclusion

Having said all that, the Tacoma isn’t without its faults. Many consumers and car experts alike have complained about its low seating positions, spongy brake pedal, and extremely loud V6 engine.

Although the 2011 Tacoma is far from perfect, it is an extremely ideal vehicle for pickup truck lovers and enthusiasts. In terms of practicality and utility, the truck is suited for people with construction, farming, and transportation jobs. Ranking number two out of seven compact pickup trucks, the Toyota Tacoma is a must have for anybody who is looking for a reliable, comfortable, and practical car that is visually appealing yet easy on the pocket.

If you want your car big, it means you have money to flaunt. This, however, does not mean you have to burn gas that costs a fortune every time you go out. Look at the 2011 Toyota Sequoia—a big beast that can show off without you splurging more than you need to.

Most of all, the Toyota Sequoia is one of the most reasonably-priced large SUVs in the market. Its counterparts in other car makers promise more classy and luxurious interiors, justifying their incredible tag prices. The Sequoia gives this vibe of sophistication without hurting your pocket.

From its look alone, the 2011 Sequoia is already a champ. The sleek design of this SUV follows the design tradition of its recent editions—clear lines, refined details, a mighty front view, and a towering side view. If you’re familiar with the Toyota Tundra, you’ll notice that the Sequoia is similar to it in some ways. The most remarkable addition this year though is the control for the standard daytime running lights. Critical reception of this new car in terms of exterior is often times overlooked, because really, there’s nothing to criticize about given its majestic design.

Inside

The promising body of the Sequoia is pursued inside the car. The interiors define class. The dashboard boasts of digital controls for the utmost convenience of the driver, and entertainment and high tech perks are generously packed for the family. The seats are designed with Toyota’s brand of simplicity and sophistication. The room space is huge, affording passengers to do activities while traveling. This trait in fact even turns off some people as drivers may face difficulty in reaching dashboard controls. But all in all, the Sequoia’s a winner in the carpool contest. It can seat as many as 8 people, plus loads of cargoes.

Like many other vehicles released in 2011, the Toyota Sequoia has not been given official scores by transport regulation agencies regarding its degree of safety. Although this is the case, it is important to note that past Sequoia models have been greatly praised for their safety features and accessories. The 2011 Sequoia boasts of rollover sensors that urgently detect movement and release front, side, and side curtain airbags. It is engineered with stability and traction control to adapt to different types of driving environment. Car owners even have the option to install additional sonar systems, cameras, and cruise controls.

Unrivaled

The Toyota Sequoia has many rivals. Other car makers have models to pit against this SUV. Some have respective advantages over the Sequoia, ranging from better fuel economy to better towing capacity. The advantage of the Sequoia however lies in its driving performance: the car is capable of exceptionally quick acceleration and short braking despite its weight. Price advantage too still goes to the Sequoia.

All in all, the 2011 Toyota Sequoia is one of the ten best large SUVs this year. This road beast boasts of carrying eight passengers and towing up to 7,400 pounds—a great choice for a family vehicle or for drivers constantly traveling with a group. It is also great for businesses use, as it can serve the function of a pickup truck but with the perks of a SUV. It is not a competitor in terms of fuel efficiency but its fuel usage at 16 miles-per-gallon is exceptionally low considering its size and weight. The Sequoia’s interiors are greatly amusing, the space is very generous, and the driving and maneuvering performances are at their best.
