  • Economy

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I probably paid too much for mine (Toyota Main dealer), but I have seen some real bargains recently (e.g 1996N for £4100 with high spec).

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The car is quick enough for me and handles superbly.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    In terms of performance, the best thing about mine is very good acceleration from 40 to 60 ( for overtaking slow moving vehicles) with high MPG ( I average 40 mpg).

    I am surprised at low rating. Many people have commented about how good looking the Paseo is and I agree ( similar shape to Ford Probe and Vauxhall Calibra but smaller).

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Only really a two seater. No room in the back for any adults to sit comfortably, but plenty of comfort in front seats. Would have been better for drivers if adjustable steering had been fitted.
