From what I’ve ehard from another toyota tacoma owner Stay away from the M/T on a used tacoma… I dont know about the brand new ones but I’ve heard that the input shaft wears down on the M/T causing the input shaft to not fit somewaht snuggly inside of the crank ultimatly ending in failure of the input shaft The Input shaft apatrntly is not a replaceable part according to toyotoa… so its a whole new transmission youll be seeking … Im just relaying what I’ve heard… if its wrong im sorry ---

Evo’s steering feel and turn-in response wins it for me. Looks wise ehhh the STI never really did it for me, though I’m not a fan of the VIII and IX either in terms of exterior (though IX looks a BIT better without the awkward rounded grill/nose). ---
