I have had my 1996 paseo for about one an a half year, the only thing that I am impress about not the power, its the handling that i am impress of, I tested my car doing 60mph in a round about u still feel very safe at that point, compare to a bmw handling I think that the paseo will beat the handling no problem. Because I also own a BMW E36 318i

There is no room in the backseat of this car at all in less your a person with no legs. The engine has no power and is completely gutless. The handling is terrible this is not a really sports car. There stock radio is crap, i have had to replace the brakes pads 5 times, the rotors 2 times. This car only has 102,000 on it. I used genuine Toyota pads and finally gave on the grinding and switched to Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads best pads ever! There is a awful clicking noise coming from the engine compartment.

Just bought it for 1,000 engine was swapped for a 99,000 engine. Leaks oil, top needs to be replaced, need new tires, it’s faster then my Ford Fiesta. I’m hoping to fix it soon and get a maco paint job. And taking it to a trusted Toyota in Venice, but first to my local Walmart recommended place to see how much they charge to fix oil leak, after I register it for a few hundred. The title was only signed by lady given to a mobile mechanic who sold it to me, every day I’m hustling, pray for me and my beautiful hair raping the wind as I drive her, oh need to op grade the stero system :( 1,000 plus 2,500 eaquals raping music
