Used 1997 Toyota Paseo for Sale near Raleigh, NC

Performance – quick car for the city though needs more power for high way driving. Build Quality - over engineered car, car take alot and keep going. Cost of Ownership – cheep on gas $5 can go a long way. Fun Factor – when the right mods are done, this car is a blast to drive.

The 1997 Toyota Paseo basically runs on the tercel platform but has a better body design with some sporty perks. The car runs well if taken care of and mine runs better than my friends 1998 Honda Civic.

Fun as hell to drive, hooks up good in low speeds, but lets be real it's a 1.6L. And it's a 98. Good burnout on Youtube under Kiacon. Want the turbo motor from Japan so bad. Brakes kinda light, specially the way i drive her. We'll see how she performs at autocross next year...

This car has given me no trouble. I bought the car in 2009 at 98000km and am just about to hit 140000 in early 2011. Since I bought it, I have only had to replace the brakes(which you have to replace on every car) and the windshield (which broke because a chunk of ice from a snowplow cracked it). The car drives smooth, and is comfortable to drive. The car does lack power, but there are plenty of ways to increase power on small engines. Overall, a great car.

Maniabilité exemplaire, mais il ne faut avoir d'illusions avec le moteur d'origine... Les freins de compagnie sont des Brembo, alors l'auto à une puissance de freinage assez bonne. Le rapport puissance poid est d'environ 10Kg/hp, ce qui n'a rien d'extraordinaire, mais ça fait le travail. Les possibilités de gain de performance sont assez complexes, mais elle valent la peine. Avec le moteur d'Europe/Japon, en ajoutant un turbo, il est possible t'atteindre 300hp dans ~950kg. Ça donne un rapport de 3.167kg/hp.
