Like almost every WRX owner, the engine blew on me. I was relatively stock and only at 116k miles and the engine decided to end it's own life. WRX's are "fast" but when you add too much crap to them they no longer become reliable at all. And I know this may sound hypocritical but I think the Subaru boxer engine is overrated. To me, it'll always be shit. I kinda hate how they went with a subaru engine in the FR-S because of all the weird noises and the problems I have had with it (camshaft positioning sensor) I like that the fact that the boxer engine highlights and helps with a lower center of gravity but the v6 in that tacoma will be more reliable than a subaru boxer.

Go down to a local toyota dealer, ask them if they have any TRD tacomas and test drive the second generation (2005-2015) and then the 3rd generation (2016+)
Damn you're right, I forgot all about test driving. I know that if I wanted a Tacoma, I need to buy it with a double cab. The only thing about that is that the price will somewhat be a higher than a base Wrx.
