1997 Toyota Paseo 1.5 GT review from Italy
"Reliable keeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power stearing gasket broke with 25000 Km.
General comments?
The Car is extremely reliable, drives well and looks great! The only shortcoming are the rear seats which are too small.
I bought it with 7000 Km and drove it so far to 105000. It never had a problem and I just love driving it.
It is a bit slow, unless you get it at hight rpms and it is a little small as a family car. So far I just did the regular mantainance. I changed oil every 10/12.000 km and all belts at 80.000. I would like to drive it for at least 300.000km
