    • more cargo space

    Coming from 2015 Porsche 911 turbo S. Just drove 1 hr to get oils changed and cost $400 just for oil changed. Got me thinking about tacos.

    Pros:
    -handles more like a go cart
    -dual clutch automated transmission seems more responsive ... so better than taco
    -better mpg than taco when driven conservatively
    -engine louder but tires quieter than taco
    -easier to park in shorter spaces than taco so better
    -feels slightly quicker than taco

    Cons:
    -car payment a lot less than taco. Can buy 4 taco for same price . Better value
    - back seat in taco more usable
    -haul more with better towing capacity. Uhaul told me they couldn't install hitch on Porsche turbo model
    - taco holds more and more room for passenger
    -heated seats hotter keep taco meat inside warmer
    -can go off road. Porsche always scrape bottom and make bad noise when rock crawling. Taco much more better

    Another Win for the taco! Yay!! Going to hand down Porsche for my 16 year old son to drive.

    This thread is a joke. I can see if your Comparing coming from another truck, who give a crap about the differences between a Tacoma, CRZ and a Porsche. It's like comparing apples to asparagus

    it comparing your previous to your current one. what you like about your previous vehicle vs 2016 tacoma. it notcomparing a car to a truck, but comparing what you PREViOUSLY own to what you own now. it so happen I have a crz i know it not a truck. I thought this was on the 3rd gen tacama section.

    The Porsche 911 turbo s , ( my old carpy cars). No good car. Have over 500 horses power but can't tow my horse's trailer! Uhaul won't do hitch for tow on it, I said I pay uou $900 and still no! I say have enough horsepower! Dealer also say don't make hitch for 911 turbo. Stupid most ever thing.

    Have to tell horses sorry stay on farm. Why taco only 278 horses power but can tow more betters????

    Taco better for win. Can put passenger in and tow more and put more in it. I say taco is more bestest car.
