1992 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"Great gas mileage and performance too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far only the clutch master cylinder has blown out, but it was faulty, not the car's fault, exhaust is also in need of replacement.
General comments?
When I got the car the previous owner was getting ready to donate it to the fire department to burn, and I purchased it for $100, and it ran, but could not be driven. To bring the car back to life I replaced the front struts and brakes at all 4 corners and and a clutch master cylinder, and all new tires, it now still runs like a top after 140k miles on the chassis and 23k on the motor from the previous owner throwing 3 out of 4 rods through the block. For a 1.5 this car will pick right up and go, and I can hit rubber for 3 gears.
