1995 Toyota Paseo review from North America

At first my Paseo seemed to work great. But when it hit closer to 90,000 miles, everything went wrong. My speedometer broke completely and the local Toyota dealer charged me $1000 for a new one, and it took them 2 months to fix it. Shortly afterward my transmission went bad as well. When I try to accelerate quickly, you hear this horrible rattling noise. I haven't gotten this fixed, however, because I'm poor. My ignition has problems also. Sometimes my keys get stuck and don't come out. When this happens I have to turn on the car again and move it a little, and then try to turn it off again, which usually works. Three months ago my air conditioner broke and water started pouring out from underneath the glove compartment, and all over my friend's feet. We were two hours away so we couldn't do anything about it. This was about $150 to fix. After 90,000, Paseo's fall apart.

The backseat is so small. The back window hits my four-foot, 11-inch mom's head. So basically you need to be about four feet tall to fit in the back. Paseo's are horrible in the snow. I get stuck everywhere. They are also incredibly short. When I go through drive-thru's, I have to get on my knees to reach things.
