    Oh and I hated the mirror position so I ordered the Immryo relocate bracket, and I wish the leather was darker instead of light Grey, but ultimately I'll probably just get seat covers in the future if I get tired of cleaning and conditioning leather

    For $1500 I can get an electric sunroof that's all I would like compared to a new one however my 6spd manual is getting a new frame so my trade in plans get shelved, maybe a 3 yr old IS 200 F Sport to sit next to the Coma in the garage....

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Dude. You referred to a Tundra from 06 getting worse fuel mileage than your 2014 Tacoma. 8 year difference in engine, why would you compare fuel mileage? In 2006 the fuel mileage concerns were very, very, different from in 2014.

    Then you said you'd be concerned about visors falling in 8 years. Mine is 4 years old and started to droop not much older than yours is now. One day you'll see that little gap forming then you'll realize that "pulling" motion to close tight is sounding more and more like a loud "pop."

    Then you'll realize.

    If I'm not mistaken, a 2006 Tacoma has the same danged drivetrain my 2014 has. So, from a design standpoint, the fuel mileage concerns were very, very the same. Does a 2014 Tundra have much greater fuel efficiency than a 2006? Bigger, bigger engine... kinda doubt it.

    But whatever. You seem to have a pretty strong opinion. Don't want to mess with your personal thing.

    Low seat height for my short ass, and the stereo SUCKS. Repeat: SUCKS. Aside from those two things, I love it.

    The gas mileage. I was able to come up with a solution for the low mirror, no clock and no overhead temp/comp display problems on my 2015

    That's why it's called a base model. No frills. Just a few of the essentials, and nothing more. All vehicles are like that with the base model. If can do the wiper mod yourself for little money. There is a write up on this site for it.

    Well...base model is a bit of a misrepresentation...A true base would not have power windows, locks, remote entry, cruise, touch screen radio w/blue tooth, steering wheel controls.... A/C even....I mean I had a 51 Chevy with 2 speed wipers....But by 2014 don't ya think intermittent wipers should be standard equipment? When did the Tacoma go from that antiquated pull up emergency brake, to the ultra modern push down with your foot? - Yeah I love Toyota's, but I think someone over there is sleeping at the switch !

    Number one thing for me is the speedometer. I wish it had the odd number 10 digits (30, 50, 70, etc).
