Thinking of getting new Double Cab Tacoma, anything I should know before?

Does the Tacoma double cab have any problems I should know about before I go and buy one? I have read numerous reviews on several other webs sites and they all have really good reviews of this truck.

I am not a "trucker", bought this for some business work.
My first week experience with this truck is negative.
- Lots of road noise and wind noise at 50mph+.
- Engine noise is too obvious for a V6 at 2000rpm.
- Uncomfortable, cheap seats.
- The automatic shift lever is located closer to the radio rather than to the driver. You have to stretch your arm out to reach it.
- Steering wheel is a bit too close to the dashboard relative to leg room, can not find a best seat adjustment.
- Very stiff suspension. Bouncing too much on highway, if you have a bad back, you will feel very sorry. Not comfortable to drive on any long trip.
- Low gas mileage.
- Missing lots of convenience options such as: compass, digital temperature gauge, ...

Otherwise, it is a good looking truck. I may last for a while according to other reviews...
