'92 Toyota Paseo

I got my Paseo from a friend, who got it from an older gentleman who used it for a year and a half. When I got it, all it needed was a new air hose (hard to find but we synthesized it) and some rubber transmission seals that had worn down. When those were fixed, the car ran fine. It has a roomy seat for the driver and passenger, but the rear is a little tight for taller people, but perfect for kids. The engine is steady and reliable, and the features easily excessible. Ex: The spark plugs are readily available for changing right after you open the hood. I would recommend this car for a new couple or a kid learning how to drive a stick.

I bought this car as my first car for $650 about 4 years ago and have put many miles and a lot of work into it. It put a 12” sub in the trunk, changed the lights inside and outside the car and changed the dash lights and it was all so easy to do! I’m currently in the middle of an engine swap just because I’m a speed freak. 100 horsepower isn’t a lot but for this car it’s pretty zippy! I can’t wait to see what 150 horsepower will do!

I have just moved up to a brand new Toyota, but it is with regret that I leave behind my wonderful Paseo. I've had this car since my freshman year in college, when I bought it from a relative with 29K on it. Now, with 144K on the odometer, we part ways, but not because the car failed in any way. It was just time for power windows. I was still on the original clutch. No engine problems. Not a single one. I saved a lot of money keeping this car around. All my friends went through several used cars, and I just kept driving the Paseo. I could always snag the smallest parking space in the city that everyone else had to pass up. I will miss this car.

Stylish but built to last.

184,000 miles and still cruising with fabulous gas mileage, peppy performance, minimal maintenance, and classic style. Sticker mileage was 19/23. But have always gotten 33/36. Heavy expressway traffic or Chicago blizzards might lessen that a bit. Almost zero problems - in 18 yrs, have paid only $6869 for all maintenance, including oil changes, flat tires, headlamps, et al. My friends keep telling me that "this car won't last." But they've been telling me that for the last 10 years. Though it's not the most luxurious, in 18+ years, this car has started every day (even today when it was 10 degrees). Like a young horse, fresh from the stable, it's always rarin' to go.
