1992 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"Nice reliable, but sharp looking commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really major. My Water pump just recently went bad. And I had to have the springs, motor mounts, and left axle replaced. The car is low to the ground so the pot hole filled streets of New York can make for a rough ride in a Paseo.
General comments?
This is a great car. It requires little maintenance and is very reliable. Even when this car has had problems its never left me stranded anywhere. The engine performs great even over 100k miles and the transmission still shifts smoothly. The car gives you a sports car look and feel without actually being one. I only wish the back seat were a little larger (a full size adult could not sit back there) and that the engine had a little more horsepower.
