1996 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"Fun car, although it is slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The antenna was broken and needed replaced.
Seat was slightly ripped and worn when purchased.
Passenger side front speaker does not work.
The car eats oil almost faster than gas.
Very minor problems though.
General comments?
I have only had the car for a little over a month and it is a great car for a first car. I love to drive it. the engine is small and struggled to make 95 mph, but the handling makes up for lack of speed. I like having a car that is this rare, plus mine is teal and I have not seen any others that color. the gas mileage is great and rarely have to visit the pump. the back seat is very small, but I never have to sit back there so what do I care?
I have decided that since paseos are so uncommon, and jeep and motorcycles have a wave wen they pass each other on the road, there should be a paseo wave. so if you see a fellow paseo owner wave at them next time.
