1995 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"A beginners sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have had with this car is the sun roof case/protector. The zipper broke since it was a VERY tight fit getting it in. I only have one side zipped and that seems to be doing the job well since it stays pretty quiet back there.
General comments?
This is a good first car for a teenager. It's not too powerful, handles well with about $1000 into suspension, and is extremely fun to drive. I would recommend it to novice drivers who like sports cars, but can't afford/handle the hard-core sports cars such as MR2 Spyders and Miatas. Right now my dad and I are looking into exhaust systems and intakes.
