Toyota Tacoma

(Courtesy: tacomaworld.com)

The Toyota Tacoma, one of the most reliable trucks from one of the most reliable companies.

These trucks are known for their affordability, off-road capability, and surprisingly their mileage of 20 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. A fascinating thing that I found about Toyota's line up, is their yearly themes. Every year, the Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, and Sequoia have a themed color, my favorite so far being between the baby blue like the Tacoma above or the olive/army green below.

The Tacoma is available in a AWD, RWD or FWD with either the 2.7L V4 making around 159 HP and the 3.5L V6 making around 278 HP.

The Tacoma is known for its good driver assistance technology, but unfortunately its is also known for its cheap-feeling plasticky interior as well as its tiny back seats and an uncoordinated automatic shifting. 

The trucks are available in the following models:
  • SR - priced at $27,425
  • SR5 - priced at $29,215
  • TRD Sport - priced at $34,335
  • Trail Special Edition (a limited 7,000 copy special for 2021) - priced at $35,180
  • TRD Off Road - priced at $35,590
  • Limited - priced at $40,180
  • Nightshade - priced at $41,080
  • TRD Pro - priced at $45,350

Pros and cons aside, the Tacoma is one of my all time favorites, because it's really just an affordable car, with a truck's body and capability. 

Like many trucks and SUVs around this price range, the Tacoma also has a wide scope of modifiability.

Jeep Wrangler

  (Courtesy: motorbiscuit.com) Jeep. The company that has brought world-class off-road capability for around 78 years. When you hear the word "Jeep" there's not only the company that comes to mind, but a styling of SUVs that took the car market by storm, in the States, and out, for example India's Mahindra Thar. (Courtesy: motorauthority.com) The Wrangler took life from the all-famous Willy's Jeep which was used greatly in World War II. The Jeep back in the time was known for its capability of getting you anywhere you wanted, as well as being reliable, more than any all terrain SUV at the time. But, moving on from my habits of preaching history, let's move on to what matters, the 2021, Jeep Wrangler. (Courtesy: newsopener.com) The 2021 Jeep Wrangler keeps the styling that they have been using for many years now, but they made one major change. The brand new 4xe, a plug in hybrid, that can take the Jeep (combined with a turbocharged four-cylinder producing 375

Honda Civic Type R

Image
(Courtesy: The Car Connection)   This, is the Honda Civic Type R. The Type R has followed the Civic generations for a long time now, but is available out of the factory in the form of the 10th-Generation. This variant of the Civic is only available with a well-engineered and fun 6-speed manual transmission. The Type R comes with a 306 HP, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 295 LB-FT of torque. Although that really doesn't sound like much, the way Honda puts that power down in their FWD drivetrain is more than any power you need. The best way to think about the Type R, is the go-kart to go grocery shopping in. It's stupidly fun to drive, and equally as practical to use every day of the year. And lets not forget, this conventional sedan is not only practical, but one of the fastest  sport compacts available in the market. If we had to directly compare the car to compare another, the Type R's main rival would be the Hyundai Veloster N (there is a post on the Veloster N,
