1995 Toyota Paseo: Regular Car Reviews 

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

@@MCTogs Yeah if you only had 2 kids otherwise it was a cramped ride with 3 in the back, then it's Minivan, or SUV land for you!!

Aww bro I feel you

Sure beats walking.

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.

i mean if your not racing no one and just racing your self no need to be fast

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow.

@@joshaulis8326 One of the most true things I have heard on the Internet

@@joshaulis8326 iv got a 2002 fiat palio with a 1.3 16v with 85 hp with exhaust, and evrytime i get on the gas its like im on the fastest car on the world ( even if other car just fly past me lol )

You look like you have to take a tinkle! Go on, take a couple drips

I was looking for this

@@MrChanw11 I was going to be very disappointed if this wasn't mentioned when I saw this new Paseo review

Video Edit @7:23 should be Big Macs super sized ...

Legit though, that cartoonist is a genius. His Ed, Edd n Eddy skits are pieces of art.

Lol. I do drive this car harder after learning what it can handle. It really is just a cheap, reliable, cheap to fix, cheap insurance, good gas, commuter car though....and that is solely why I bought it. A to B

@@qpwoeiruty850 dude I daily a stick corolla - only car I have that can feel at its limits at 50! RCR can give a long poetic diatribe about a pair of white sox haha

😂😂😂😂

@@qpwoeiruty850 the car looks nice n i would V8, RWD swap it, i have a 97 Lincoln Town Car rust bucket i bought couple years ago, i want to swap the drivetrain to a Nissan Sentra B13 to, thing weighs 2,200lbs, would be a monster on the street..lol

Thats when the real video starts and yes then the paseo becomes the poor mans ae86 lolol

And the celica is the interesting man’s Camry

@Coby Williams yes I’ve met guys pushing big power out of JDM 3S ‘s & GT4’s , my point applies to the majority of celicas that came with the 5S-fe out of the Camry

Only if the civic coupe is the interesting man’s civic which it isn’t

@@activecamoflage6649 so is the Supra the interesting man's Avalon? 🤔

@@Bonno95 but that's only because civics are too easy to make power out of. Actually WANTING a 90's shitbox toyota is kind of...rare, cause they're all garbage for anything but getting you around. Damn near every Honda can make solid power, even the single jingle 1.6's can hold 500 ish on the block, and 200 without even touching the internals. They arent interesting because they're too damn easy

Rev up your engines

"...runs like a dream." is what he usually says. LOL

what a fine specimen

Now that's a alphaaa

Let me guess. One of them dumped the other and now she goes around asking what happened to all the good men.

I still have my paseo. IG is hawkeye.paseo 👀 convertible version too

I want to live in a timeline where Toyota realized that a car that looks like the Paseo needs some gonads, and put the Starlet’s 3FTE engine in it instead of the ho-hum 5FE. People who have done this swap have loved it.

@@Noahh_jp and it's red with an underbody neon kit. You sir, have done life right. 👍

@@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.

I got your point, and it makes perfect sense ONLY IF you already have roomy SUV for your family. Daily driving cars like Paseo just to get to work and back is perfectly reasonable.

It’s the little things we appreciate

Life imitates art

@ Boxed Fossil The Camry was going fairly decently. Two overtakes in less than ten seconds? Don’t let a long lens fool you.

That was a Scion tC, but close enough

Toyotas all look the same.

Sorry about your loss.

As a former W123 owner, I approve of this usage.

Now the w123 300d got insanely expensive..

and now for the bottom gear high school special!

@@rolux4853 yea the market for them has gone up significantly. Clean examples are a rarity now since unlike most other classics, most w123s actually get driven. I had both an 85 300d (cheap car from story) and a significantly nicer, though not entirely perfect, 82 240d with the 4 speed manual. I daily drove the 240d up until 2017. What other car could reasonably be used as a daily driver for 35 years? Gotta love em.

About 15-16 years ago I remember hiring on a new dude at work to help me with some IT stuff and customer service, fresh out of high school, smart at a button and had been given his mum's Paseo. Without fail at knock off time it was nearly always refusing to work for some reason or another and I suppose to the rubbish POS credit I could usually get it running for him with nothing more than basic tools, WD40 and beatings. Like any car owned by a single mum with no XY parental unit in the family, it had literally never been maintained in well over 12 years by that stage 'because it mostly just kept working' when the road service guy would come out and presumably do the same things I did to it They really are just that bad Thing I never really understood was just how bloody pointless the whole package was, its too small for anyone but the most stunted manlets, slower than a turtle with a hardon over broken glass and not enough space for much more than a small dog and a couple of overnight bags. The rest is just a mess of crap suspension, basic bitch everything and completely awful.

Same

Yup, same for me.

There was one in a MeatCanyon video called Just Beyond the Golden Arches

Yep, never seen one of these. Or a Tercel. Or a Sera. Well, I saw the Sera many times... in Gran Turismo 4.

Not popular or familiar cars (car clubs be damned). They’re shiny turds of the bottom of the Toyota selection that most will say “Man, it looks alright…” unbeknownst to its bellow par performance and basic yet memorable interior.

I was hoping to find this.

"Our bathrooms are very clean! Hmmm...you look like you have to take a tinkle :) -- go on...take a couple dripss..."

Why didn’t you try the Big Mac?

They made a Tercel Redhawk, which given that it's a Tercel was probably just a decals/nicer hubcaps package but still a special edition Tercel. IDGAF, most Toyotas are limp dick cars for people that pump their brakes going uphill and still pee the bed at night ages 34 and up

@@ScubaSteveM45 I mean a mk3 Supra can fuckin rip.

@@Foxfloop the rest of the lineup is by and large for the people I described earlier. I run into people all the time spewing their bullshit about some 22RE truck, their 1990 Corolla or 1993 Camry "Ohhhhh it's so reliable, I changed the oil in 2007 and it's still driving" and then you look inside it and the seats are threadbare and split with foam chunks crumbling out, all the symbols in the center console wore away and the arm rests around the door handles have eroded down to nothing. I have a 20+ year old Benz with nearly 300k miles and the only hint that it's pretty old is the body style. Leather seats and wood are still mint.

@@ScubaSteveM45 the Tercel is so underrated, in the US at least. Go to South/central America and 90s Toyota’s are hot shit. Cheap, reliable, fuel efficient, AND fun to drive can’t be beat

@@williamspencer1935 well when it's competing against donkey carts and flatbed trucks yeah I bet the Tercel looks pretty attractive in comparison 😏

It was only a matter of time lol

@@spicywater9284 0-60mph: yes. They love to leak oil. I have a 97.

@@spicywater9284 yes they are. Get on it

I felt the same with my 1993 Toyota Tercel coupe. Only had 82 HP, but it was so light weight that you feel like your driving a go cart.

@@applepoop10 i took off the back seats and passenger as well. It was my lil go kart to fight LA traffic

I remember getting zoofed by a Prius on my way to work a few weeks ago. I was already doing 95...

@@Sonic6293 perks of being invisible to cops I guess

That had to be planned. Planned as in adding the commentary when editing the video and seeing that. LOL

Toyota Paseo; for the man who's tired of trying to convince his friends his Corolla isn't boring

Its the car you traded your corolla for while going through a divorce

Except its a trecel

Wait, there are people that like the Corolla?!

@@ScubaSteveM45 the Corolla is the benchmark of automotive quality/dependability excellence 🐐

Pfft, Autozone? I used to work at a lumber yard around the time when there were only two Fast and Furious movies out. Dumbass kids coming wanting PVC pipe for cold air returns or 1in steel tubing for exhaust (still couldn't understand how they were reducing it down)... and I was only in my 20's then and they were still dumbass kids to me. Told one of them that wasn't a good idea and he's like "why? Everyone else is doing it" and I replied "because if that plastic melts on the engine, it'll catch fire and burn your car to the ground". I probably saved his life.

@@ozzya8057 It's a good car, but please don't put sticker hood vents on it haha

I just don’t know why you didn’t eat the Big Mac

You look cute when you eat those fries.

Don't you wanna know how succulent it can taste?

@@MrDroski100 LOL some funny shit.

@@aspiceronni4462 I've got a 93 Toyota paseo in the parking lot

While this is completely unrelated to the Toyota Paseo and the Chrysler slant-6, there was an Australian car in the early 70s that had the combination of an inline 6, transversely mounted in the front, driving the front wheels; the Austin Kimberley and Tasman, 1970-72. BMC E-series, 2.2L and SOHC, it's related to the engines found in the Austin Allegro and Maxi.

Rather a 2zz

Every tercel owner is dreaming of owning a paseo someday

@@Spicymeatbawls gotta start somewhere...🤣

@@Spicymeatbawls When I had my Tercel, I wanted my mother's Paseo... Yeah, that's accurate.

Nissan NX2000 > Toyota sera

This is very true. Mr. Regular said on the phone that he would let me drive his Sera. Then after the filming he got in his car and drove away :(

I was like “no he didn’t”

people don't realize just how damn cramped those back seats are. You're just like 'yep, if we get in a minor fender bender, it's still over for me."

When I had my paseo I would always make sure to but the tallest guy in the back seat and then go and drive the fuck out of the car just to scare the shit out of them. I really do miss that little car.

Hahah I had a 92 paseo and it was amazing to throw arround. Really fun on curvy roads. Easy to mantain

@@gunxperp I had a cushion for the back passanger to put betweet the top of the head and the roof glass haha

@@FreedomPhotographs yeah I wasn't that nice. I enjoyed their pain and discomfort.

Ram air filter plus muffler delete equals at least 50hp. Works especially well if your vehicle is OBD2.

What’s „that movie“? I’m from Germany and we don’t have a popular movie with such a car over here. In fact we don’t even have this car over here, I never knew of it’s existence before this video.

@@rolux4853 The first two 'Fast and the Furious' movies, in 2001 and 2003 respectively

@@dodger7183 thanks! Okay I know them of course but I have to check the German voiceover if they say paseo or something else

Lol at fart piped it🤣

I still love them cars they were really something different for GM at the time,They didn’t do the Aurora name justice with the second generation though,I always liked the Aurora’s and the Riviera’s and the Buick Reata, I had a buddy growing up that his dad had the old style Riviera from the 80s it had 400,000 miles on it and you couldn’t tell his dad and took such good care of his cars I mean you barely touch the key and it fired right up.

I had a 2nd gen 2003 Olds Aurora with the v8; stealth fast.

One of the best cars GM ever made. I fell in love with it the first time I ever saw one in an ad in 1995. Apparently the Short Star was a decent V8 too unlike its larger sibling.

i'm looking to buy one and i'm definitely gonna try and submit it soon :p

I wish so bad they just made those cars RWD. They looked good and had quite a bit of options for a GM, had they made them RWD too they probably wouldn't need to kill off Oldsmobile as it probably would have taken a few buyers away from Lexus, Mercedes, BMW and Infiniti and kept them in action

True a underrated car

Yes miss mine 94 2dr 4 speed had a lot of fun in that car

I’m not sure why he sounds like that, his review of the Tercel was super positive!

Tercel. The small economy car built to Lexus standards. How do I know you ask? I own a 96 sport model. (96 Canada 1 year only) car has 300,000 kms and drives perfect and is more reliable than a new car. It’s so nice that it has collectors plates for low insurance cost . Built to very high standards.

He's saying it that way because the Paseo is a Tercel that's trying to be a Prelude, basically.

Nah that's a Jetta

i thought so!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for this comment. I was wondering where the outro parody was from.

Yep the Paseo was also sold in Japan as the Toyota Sprinter Trueno Edit: the people replying to me are correct I was wrong the Paseo is the Cynos in Japan

@@patrickmartin3322 That’s the Levin.

@@InfinityR319 no to that too, the Levin was always a Corolla coupe.

@@patrickmartin3322 it was sold as the cynos.

"I GOT A '93 PASEO IN THE PARKING LOT, LETS GET OUTTA HERE"

@@ekzilo funniest shit I’ve ever heard 🤣

And says he's "training to fly one of them some day", and nonchalantly waves a hand at the tarmac...

Can confirm

Oww god, the visual imagery.... It hurts... I see the poor Paseo's suspension over dropping left as she sits down, or the empty water bottles and random crap falling out of the car as a passenger opens the door.

@@Coolit2683 Try two Jabba the Hutt sized megabutch lesbians who must have weighed 45st each getting into a vauxhall Astra - poor thing looked like a Los Angeles class doing a crash dive, even the chassis creaked.. And the mental images of them doing the Ethiopian boredom dance, yarrgh, enough to turn Ellen DeGeneres straight... One of them was my maternal aunt, who has now found God, now the car only looks like Ark Royal having a bad day.... Arrgh, the thought of those two together is enough to cause PTSD.

@@Coolit2683 that’s funny. When I took my Tercel to get emissions tested, the guy looked like he weighed about 300 lbs. No shit my suspension dropped about 2 inches when he got in haha

I have to know, what kind of cigarettes? If I may guess; they where either really cheap menthols or really expensive menthols.

Reminds me of a hefty friend of mine who had a plymouth breeze years ago, basically a rebadged neon. He actually had to replace the drivers seat because he was so fat that he basically broke it.

Hell yeah boi

Also Nissan Pulsar/NX... and to a certain extent... the Pontiac Fiero (Chevette front end.. FWD Citation/Phoenix rear end with solid tie rods, Iron Duke engine, and GM parts bin interior).

@@Bartonovich52 I can’t believe I forgot the Pulsar and NX, haha, they were the most dominant ones. The MR2 could be considered one too, as most of its parts were Corolla parts.

He's been doing that since right around the quarantine started. Would love to back the channel on Patreon again but the guy's got to come out of his funk.

@@sneakerfreak2002 100% The *HOT BROWN* bits are the least interesting thing about these reviews.

@@robotbjorn4952 I completely agree. I'm here for the literary bits and the discussions of where these cars fit in the culture, not sophomoric poop jokes that show no originality at all.

May get one as first car too And... Honestly, it fits me, its the black sheep shitty commuter that nobody would give a fuck about (exactly like who i am) and spanish too If i was a car, i would be a paseo... Or a yugo

You must be in your 20's or at least very early thirties. I saw a lot of them when I was 17-25 years old. (I am now 38) The issue is that they were heavily abused by teenagers and didn't get much maintenance or care. Also being from Montreal Quebec with heavy snow and heavily salted roads, the body of those cars would rust to hell... and given the lack of care, they were all scrapped. Not many survivors.

@@Coolit2683 even in Southern California, these were mostly scrapped by the mid 00’s.

Because they were cheap and simple, that were either nodded to death by ignorant youths, or simply driven to long, slow deaths by the commuters they were designed for. Such is the fate of good, basic transportation.

You sir, have provided me a valuable service, for free.

This happened to me the day I got my $400 Ford Escort wagon. Didn't realize i was "racing" against a riced civic, a beige Camry, and a clapped out accord all in the same night.

I've been the passenger of a few 100hp shitboxes with insane drivers who were eager to prove something to the world. Fast in a slow car is *TERRIFYING* because you're at some multiple of the speed limit for way longer than is comfortable.

@@robotbjorn4952 100 pct. I've been in the same situation. They don't realize that you can be the best driver in the world, but you can't account for Chad up the road running a red because he's too busy updating his FB. It only takes a fraction of a second at that speed to end up dead or worse. Or maybe I'm the asshole for having a 5 litre and driving like a Grandpa.

@@tcolec540 I'd like to imagine if you got the cash to buy a monster you're also smart behind the wheel but I have been wrong before.

@@jessehenderson2967 Wellll I think there are more than enough Mustang Videos to prove you wrong there. 😜

They are great cars. I dont know why this douchebag hates them so bad.

@@Just_In_credible6 thats kinda his thing with these cheap cars unless they are famous ofcourse.

@@Just_In_credible6 He spoke well of it....well enough...

@@Just_In_credible6 I don't know why you think he dislikes it. He's quite honest about its weaknesses and strength, and compliments it for succeeding at being cheap, basic transportation. His criticism is of people who.think it's something it's not, a sports car, and a good car for cheap modding.

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