1992 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"Awesome!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump @ 200,000 miles.
General comments?
I bought this car for $1000 with 150,000 miles on it. Put gas in it (usually 350 miles/tank). Put tires and brakes on it once the entire time I owned it! It was lucky if I added or changed the oil EVER! (I was young) I beat the crap out of it, never maintained anything.
This car NEVER died on me, NEVER left me stranded! I couldn't kill it (not that I wanted to cuz really I loved it).
After 2 kids I finally made myself get rid of it. A guy bought it off me for $700 with about 220,000 miles on it. That was 3 years ago. He still owns it, absolutely loves it and drives it every day. It probably has close to 300,000 miles on it by now!
Best car I ever owned. I would buy another one in a heart beat! Bought a 1999 VW Jetta after that and it was the biggest mistake of my life!
