2007 Toyota Tacoma

Luxury minivan Toyota Alphard will be sold in Russia. “Follow the A-2 highway,” the navigation orders with an iron voice, and a series of rocky peaks jumps out from behind the turn, and the sun beats in the face through the palm trees. New Toyota Corolla on the road. It turns out that you can just drive a car without listening to the engine, without making it roar and squeal with rubber, and without testing its notorious maneuverability, jumping like an orangutan from row to row. Japanese engineers seem to have taken a liking to art modeling, so the latest models look like plasticine crafts from kindergarten kids while away the time before quiet time. The lines of the Corolla are too smooth and rounded, and the headlights seem to be carelessly squeezed out with a plastic knife. It seems that the Corolla body can be pushed through with a finger, it seems so soft. Speaking seriously, the Corolla turned out to be solid, it’s not shameful to drive up to the office and to th 2007 Toyota Tacoma e house of your girlfriend’s parents in such a car. From Camry, she inherited a focused and frowning look, while becoming less cumbersome and clumsy than its predecessor. Having won the cherished keys to the Corolla 1.6 with a robotic mechanical transmission Multimode from militant-minded colleagues from other countries, we are going to look for our fellow traveler among the cars lined up in a row. The immobilizer is sent to a small box under the armrest: in the most expensive configuration, the car has a Stop-Start button. The gaze stops at the instrument panel, which burn, as it seems at first, with one bright orange spot. Small numbers and light bulbs are full of eyes, and the speedometer and tachometer needles are not visible due to too bright backlighting. But man is an opportunistic creature, and after a dozen kilometers, reading fuel consumption indicators on a small display inside the speedometer does not seem to be such a problem. The only thing that persistently attracts attention is the so-called “hint”, which in a car with mechanics shows with arrows where and when to switch, giving rise to an offensive feeling of inferiority in the driver. The central panel is made in gray and black tones and on a graceful bend places a modest radio and climate control. There is no need to talk about the convenience of the buttons and the location of the adjustments, everything is quite predictable, but it does not cause either delight or rejection - everything is as it should, “in Toyota style”. Despite the presence of a large number of various pockets and drawers, only a couple of water bottles and an umbrella can be placed here, which will more than suit a city dweller. For 10 minutes I had to hard adjust the seat, which did not obey, being sure that a long-legged volleyball coach was sitting behind the wheel. But then it turned out that you can lean your head back on the headrest and at the same time see the road both forward and backward in two large side mirrors. Now you can “stomp on the floor”, especially since few people drive in the left lane on the Spanish autobahn. As usual, the “robot” thought, threw off the gear, and the engine began to roar strainedly. According to the documents, a car with a 1.6 liter engine should drive like 124 “horses”, it accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.4 seconds. However, you won’t get rid of the pernicious Moscow habit in one day, so we press the “Sport” button and leave the motorway for deserted mountain paths. The car begins to roar menacingly and brings the tachometer needle up to 5.5 thousand revolutions, switching becomes less thoughtful. The light steering wheel responds very well, and even in sharp turns you feel safe: the car, only slightly tilted, passes them flawlessly, and most importantly, gives an almost childish feeling of power over the car. Only here in corners it is not very convenient to adjust gear shifts with paddle shifters, which are located on the steering wheel and turn with the steering wheel, so that at the most crucial moment you have to frantically feel the entire steering wheel. But the gearbox itself with short strokes between a few modes allows you to instantly switch to the back one and, for example, turn around in a small alley - not every machine can give such a luxury. Finally, to reinforce the impression of quality factor, which should have already been formed, let's also say about the brakes: a slightly heavy pedal grabs, although not immediately, but reliably and somehow confiden https://cars45.com/listing/toyota/tacoma/2007
