Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Mint!!! Very sweet, revvy little 1.5 engine kicks out a nicely usable 89 bhp. Superb on the motorway and fun through the twisty bits too. Always leaves me with a smile on my face. Not as economical as my other Paseos tho. Decent accomodation too for a car of it's size.
What's it like to park?
A doddle to park due to decent visablity and the compact size of the car.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Usual Paseo weak spots. The radiator, and the rear suspension bushes, all sorted easily by my local garage.
What's most practical about your car?
A decent sized boot for the size of the car, and nice wide doors to aid access.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
A fab Toyota/Sony music system.
