1997 Toyota Paseo Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car has given me no trouble. I bought the car in 2009 at 98000km and am just about to hit 140000 in early 2011. Since I bought it, I have only had to replace the brakes(which you have to replace on every car) and the windshield (which broke because a chunk of ice from a snowplow cracked it). The car drives smooth, and is comfortable to drive. The car does lack power, but there are plenty of ways to increase power on small engines. Overall, a great car. Jan 20, 2011

Maniabilité exemplaire, mais il ne faut avoir d'illusions avec le moteur d'origine... Les freins de compagnie sont des Brembo, alors l'auto à une puissance de freinage assez bonne. Le rapport puissance poid est d'environ 10Kg/hp, ce qui n'a rien d'extraordinaire, mais ça fait le travail. Les possibilités de gain de performance sont assez complexes, mais elle valent la peine. Avec le moteur d'Europe/Japon, en ajoutant un turbo, il est possible t'atteindre 300hp dans ~950kg. Ça donne un rapport de 3.167kg/hp.Jun 27, 2009

I am use to my Celica, but other than that, this car is awesome. Of course Toyota is known for making great engines and this is no exception. More torque than horsepower, makes it easy to pass traffic on highways. Even though I am 6ft, I would buy this car if it had a tilt steering wheel, and if the shifter/gearbox was towards the back. It truly was made for people who are shorter. But don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore small cars, and this car fits in there.Nov 28, 2008
