I am looking to upgrade my daily driver...I would like to get something kind of cool if possible.
Looking for a 2021+ Toyota Tacoma or Honda Accord Sport or Touring.
Would like 45k or less miles
I am open to other cars...fuel mileage isnt a huge factor but I will be driving it every day so I dont want a full size pick up.
30k Cash in hand...let me know what you got (could spend a little more if I really like it)
Thanks

yeah...I thought I had my mind made up on one until I drove a '21 Accord yesterday. Man that car drives great.

Tacoma will hold its value much better and has many more uses due to the bed. But the new Hondas are very nice. Any new car for that matter is pretty darn nice.

My wife and I had 2011 vehicles until this last year…. It was a nice upgrade for sure.

yeah...I agree. I am going to check out a 2021 TRD tonight with 32k miles. I will update post after. Thanks

Just did the same thing at the end of last year. Got a 24 GMC canyon at4. Fun little truck to drive but the mileage isn't all that much better than a full size pickup.

Had a GMC canyon as a work truck for a few years. Great little truck and was extremely reliable zero issues think we kept them to 150k miles. Pulled my 19ft ski boat no problem.

Next work truck was the Silverado 1500 with the turbo 4 cylinder. Great truck and towed my boat way better and even pulled a 4 seat RZR with two quads and a bike with ease.

Both got about the same gas mileage so if that’s the biggest issue I’d go with the 1500 just for versatility but the little gmc definitely drove more like a car than a truck.

I told my self if I ever had to daily my own vehicle again I would buy a hot rod. Something cool like a 32 ford or 55 belair. Something with a basic LS motor and A/C . Driving to work would be cool and your vehicle doesnt really depreciate in value.

Toyotas are awesome. Great trucks.

If you like the Honda, check out an Acura TLX, I’m not sure on the models in that year range you’re looking at but they did make an SH with tech package. I think there is another “sport” version. I’m looking for a commuter but more in the ‘15-‘19 model years. Sporty little rides, good quality.

Also love the GMC Canyon AT4 or Denali.
