2009 Toyota Tacoma Review

What reviewers liked most
"Energetic response is a bonus of the Tacoma's V-6 engine when it teams with a five-speed-automatic transmission." (Source: Cars.com)
"The new design is eye-catching, yet devotedly functional as it should be." (Source: Cars.com)
"In terms of handling, the feeling behind the wheel is of a truck that is well planted at every corner, predictable when pushed and surprisingly agile considering its size." (Source: Edmunds.com)
"With more room in every direction, the Tacoma has lost much of the claustrophobic feeling so typical of most compact trucks." (Source: Edmunds.com)
"The Tacoma's new composite non-rusting and non-denting inner bed has a new sheet-molded compound deck and walls said to be 10 percent lighter than steel, but tougher and more durable." (Source: MSN Autos)
"It was very carlike with quick steering, a comfortable ride on most roads, good handling and strong braking." (Source: MSN Autos)

Best one-liners
"The new Tacoma is far and away one of the best compact trucks ever offered to the American public." (Source: Edmunds.com)
"Toyota came out swinging from the get-go with a huge a roster of truck variants." (Source: Motor Trend)
"The Access Cab has rear seats, but they're pretty hopeless for humans." (Source: New Car Test Drive)
