1995 Toyota Paseo: Regular Car Reviews

[@realjaytruth]

This was my mom's first car when I was a kid. We took the bus everywhere until she got it. I remember tearing up knowing we had a car. Ours was black with graphics on the side. It felt like an awesome sports car to me, but it definitely isn't that. Good memories.

My mom had an MX-3 and I felt the same way about it. Cheap Japanese coupes make for surprisingly good family cars

My mom had one of those too. 1986 Renault Alliance in bright yellow. She only had it briefly though before a hood type guy pulled her out of the seat at a 7-11, beat her up, stole the car, and totaled it in a nearby telephone pole. This was back in '91 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

[@Yugophoto]

when I was a young teen, my aunts boyfriend at the time "Damon" had a paseo. The front fender paint was peeling, the car was silver but the passenger door was black, and the rear wheel wells had rust holes big enough to put a finger through. He had it straight piped, and put a hilariously massive spoiler on it, the kind of spoiler that has cables criss-crossed to keep it stable. Damon himself was exactly the man you would expect to be driving such a car. Pushing 40 but still had the attitude of a 16 year old. His receding hairline pulled back into a pony tail, an attempt at a goatee, and an oversized black t-shirt that he thought made him look like Steven Seagal, who he worshipped as the peak of manliness. Damon drove that car a little too fast everywhere, had about three different radar detectors, and never wore his seatbelt 'in case he had to bail'. As you can tell, my aunt had fantastic taste in men.

When I saw that the subject was the Toyota Paseo, I unintentionally let out an orgasmic "ugh!" I love this little car, and the "economy coupe" segment as a whole. I firmly believe, if we think about it with total honesty, it's the best type of vehicle for most peoples' daily driving habits. And I will argue that point to anyone anywhere. A couple years ago, I had a neighbor with a teal 2nd gen Paseo with light grey cloth interior, and I couldn't stop looking at it, because I realized that, even though I drive a much nicer car today, I could be perfectly content if that was my daily driver. I want to live in the timeline where we still have that sense of fun, with it's total lack of pretence or insecurity.

@@illegal_space_alien it wasn't uncommon for the company to have a hotter version. Most people bought the commuter engine, and the hot one becomes a collector item. So it's not inconceivable, had the car been Civic/Corolla popular. In Europe, there was usually a middle engine option, typically a diesel, that offered the best of both worlds.

The Paseo might be forgettable overall, but I'll never forget it. When I was little, my dad had one. It was black, it was manual and we would go to the grocery store in it and listen to cassettes of The Clash. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Then one time it had an unfortunate run-in with some sudden flood waters and it was gone. Dad died last year, rather suddenly, and now I find myself seeking out things that make me think of him.

This thing is awesome. A cheap, stick shift, japanese compact. It may seem underwhelming, but man are they fun.

Lots of cars do this formula better though. Anything more modern in the same category is going to feel a lot peppier.

[@matthewjones12181]

My Dad had a 95 Paseo Convertible. He found it at a local used car place, and it had been very well loved to that point, other than the ragtop. Dad found a shop that he had the top redone in a camel cover, and the body was black. He had the seats recovered in the camel color as well. It was a very sharp little car, and Dad definitely called it his mid-life crisis. Pros, it was sharp. It was fun to drive. Cons, it desperately needed a sixth gear. You'd get into 5th, and just needed something else to get it over the top, especially in the mountains where we live.

[@kodeyhughes6806]

Was my first car. A 93' my aunt passed it down to me and i learned to drive stick in it. Along with my brothers and many cousins. Loved that car. Did min maintenance on it and it lasted almost 12 years. Till it blew up in spectacular fashion, with 2 fist side holes in the block. Just as it should be.

The comparison between the modern Corolla and the Paseo Is such a powerful statement. I hope Toyota watches your video.

[@christianloper9483]

Yo my '07 manual trans Civic coupe is fun at 50 on the back roads too, guess it's a sports car lol. But really, when you brought it back all quiet and said why it actually is a sports car, I got chills. Really great writing there. A good remembrance of an "it's fine" car.

[@ian93sc28]

I , an owner of a 93 thunderbird super coupe that’s a 5 speed , I get the fizz every time I see a Toyota paseo, it’s one of my favorite cars and I honestly wanted one but I couldn’t find one in New England so I got my thunderbird. I stopped next to a guy and was geeking over his clean 94 paseo and he was looking at me like I was crazy

[@turborocketmedia]

The intro was pure excellence hahaha there's no one who does ads like RCR haha love it!

[@ThisIsInput]

I knew a kid in 2007 with a Paseo where, during our car cruises with moderate hooning, would fly by everyone after the hooning was long over and then talk about how he kicked your ass in "that race".

[@siliconinsect]

Made for Asian and Caribbean markets. Lived in a Puerto Rican neighborhood and these were all over the place. Paseo was made for that market -- not mainland 'Murica. It's easy to work on and as the example you've shown should take moon miles.

[@Eldomibori]

I can confirm as a Puerto Rican, we love Toyota’s more then ourselves...

[@maverickloggins5470]

I had a 93 with 300,000 miles. Thing started every single day, the AC worked, it was the slowest thing I’ve ever driven and I LOVED it. All four shocks were blown but I was just commuting on local roads so it didn’t matter to me. I’ll always love how great Toyota windows were. Like two turns and it’s all the way down, always smooth

[@kevinpatrickmacnutt]

The Paseo fit into that faux sports car category with the Honda Del Sol and they Hyundai Scoupe. It's an economy car for people who don't want many passengers. I see quite a few Honda Del Sols that have half of the Advance auto accessory trinkets aisle and most of a JC Whitney catalog added to them much like the Paseos (the Hyundai Scoupes ended up in the crusher years ago).

[@robotbjorn4952]

Damn shame too. Del Sols are nearly impossible to find unmolested after 25 years of being owned by various high schoolers.

[@MJorgy5]

My Del Sol could walk Highway Patrol Crown Vics as a hobby. Barely an economy car averaging mid-20's MPG's.

That engine bay brings back memories… I helped a girl engine swap her Tercel because I thought she was cute. Everything mostly went according to plan, but she ended up banging a guy for money, so we went our separate ways.

[@theswimmingcarrot8496]

Used to own a later Paseo couple of years ago, they're fun cars, you just don't have to expect much from them. They're alot of fun to drive on a (downhill) mountain road, but that's kind of everything, besides that it's a good commuter that isn't boring and kind of rare to see, so if they recognise your car, they'll know

Before my wife became my wife, she got a new 1992 Paseo. It cost $10 to fill it with gas and we drove that car everywhere. It was a fun car to drive and was very reliable. We traded it for a 1996 Camry after 160k miles and the top side of it slowly turned from red to pink.

I had a '91 Tercel coupe with a 5-spd manual. It was actually pretty snazzy looking. Even in my naïve youth, I didn't think it was a sports car. But it would chirp second gear, got like 40+ mpg hwy, and the entire car felt like one solid piece, which is amazing for such a light car. Point being, it wasn't pretending to be a sports car like the otherwise identical, except for price, Paseo.

@@MegaAwesomedude234 Nope, never did a 3rd. He used to use a first gen for the camera car, and reviewed a 2nd gen at the same time. The 3rd is a bit different, but not all that different to the older Fits, and by extension the older civic hatchbacks, which is what makes it interesting in 2021. Mine is probably very *rare* because it's a manual, but has any new-car feature you'd expect (radar cruise, lane, keep, etc), all wrapped up in a micro-minivan.
