Review
I was just getting used to the Paseo when somebody hit me but I was not entirely loving it. I felt very cramped in the driver's seat compared to my Honda. My head bumped the window in the backseat, painful for passengers. It ran pretty well, decent acceleration. Excellent gas mileage. Next time I want a bigger car.

Review
It's over 175,000 miles, and never once had mechanical problem. Replaced thermostat at 165K, and other than routine maintenance (wear/tear), transmission and engine is in excellent condition. My friend didn't believe it is over 175k because the engine is so quiet. Commuted between Vegas and LA last year every weekend, and never broke down in the desert. Gets 36 mpg, why pay more for hybrid. This one is a keeper. Great for one or two person drive around town doing chors. Space and power is limited, but we didn't buy it for those. We have a 4Runner and Sienna for those. We only drive Toyotas because of their quality.
Favorite Features
Just quality built, everything is great.
Suggested Improvements
Too bad this model is discontinued.

Review
This was the first car that I financed. so I was paying for it and had to take care of the car. Also my first Toyota. I soon realized what makes Toyotas so great. This little car is very well built. Its handling is adequate for its top speed. This was just a fun little car to drive although I do wish I had a stick, not an auto. Makes an already gutless car even more so.
Favorite Features
Moon roof. Sporty feel behind the wheel and in the car.
Suggested Improvements
More power, more torque.

Review
Overall, this car was a solid buy. I bought it at 59k miles and it now has 145k miles. I had to replace the thermostat 2x as the only non-typical repair. It now leaks oil and coolant, but not once has it ever let me down. The back seat is very short (people over 5'6 or so hit their head) and the trunk is small, but I knew that going in. Overall, I have been a happy customer. I am definitely considering a Toyota again. Not a bad car for a cheap purchase now.
Favorite Features
Reliability. Has a small engine, but still has a little pep.
Suggested Improvements
Doesn't really matter now since they aren't making them anymore.
A Great Car

Review
This car is 11 years old, but is more reliable than a lot of my friend's new cars. My car rarely has any mechanical problems, besides some of the parts that just get old after a decade or so of driving.It is still a joy to drive.
Favorite Features
The easy maneuverability, and the easy ride.
Suggested Improvements
The car is really light so it moves around easily in windy areas.
