Default Toyota Paseo? - 04-22-2004 , 02:45 PM






I'm looking at a P Reg Toyota Paseo at the moment. It's a UK car but I
can't say I've ever seen any around. Does anybody know if this is
going to be hard to get parts for?

It has 80,000 miles on the clock and has a 1.5 twin cam engine. Is
there likely to be much life left in the engine? With it being a
Toyota I'd expect it to last a while but best to ask.

Anyone ever owned one?

TIA,

Chris

Toyota sold these for a very short time so there can't be many around.
Always found them very bland with nothing special going for them.

If you like it I'm sure it'll be OK and presumably lots of parts shared with
smaller toyota's but personally I'd give it a miss.

I'd give it a miss too. They were built during Toyotas "decontenting" phase,
where they cut corners of virtually everything. Honda did the same thing,
but they did it well, so you couldn't tell. The Paseo was pretty legendary
for being a cheap car, cheaply built.
