"It's fast because i drive it fast"
Literally every car guy's argument
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 )
@@maxinnn1 Iv got a 2013 fiat 500 turbo lol fun little car
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
@@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.

Paseo is the interesting man’s Corolla.
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
"I never took a corner that hard. I just use it to go to work and come home, that's why I bought it"
the tone of "wtf are you doing" in his voice has me cracking up
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.

Scotty Kilmer is like...
"I finally bought my dream car and it runs like a clock!"
Rev up your engines
"...runs like a dream." is what he usually says. LOL
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.
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.
It's so poetic you started the fart pipe imitation when the dieselbro Dodge with the "locally hated" sticker passed.
And also the Camry who got impatient of being in that line of cars and went hard in the left lane to just barely accelerate faster
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.
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.
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.
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. So it was a lot of fun to watch this video and see the little old Paseo again. Thank you for what you do!
Sorry about your loss.
An entire review without a single high school reference. I’m impressed. Great job.
"I got a 93 Toyota Paseo in the parkin' lot.

This is legitimately, the first time I've seen this car.
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.

As a guy who ownes a Paseo for almost 4 years now. I will say: I laughed my @$$ off while watching this video. It's spot on. 👍
Still LOVE my loud, slow, silly Paseo though. 😎
Me too man.🤣
The only reason I’d say this is supposed to be “Sporty” is because there was already a Tercel coupe, and this is essentially the sporty version of that.
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 😏
In highschool 2 of my friends and I each bought $500 cars, which we got as daily drivers for our broke butts but quickly realized we were perfectly set up for top gear style challenges. The contenders were my w123 300D, a V6 automatic mustang convertible, and a very very VERY beat to shit Toyota Paseo. It became a rule that if we found each other while driving we would have to at least lightly hit each other while driving... good times. Ultimately the Paseo was the only one that blew up before it was junked. Being that his car already had power assisted nothing, rather than tow it to the junk yard i pushed him the 5 miles through town with the w123 panzer. Good times... garbage car.
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.
Suddenly worried that RCR is secretly a drug cartel and we witnessed an execution.
We did...that poor paseo.

Me: I wonder if a Chrysler slant 6 will fit in it?
Uncle Tony's Garage: Hold my beer!
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
My parents bought my a Paseo as my first car, it was less than a $1000. It wasn't a fast car, but I was in high school and it was a couple that wasn't a cavalier, so I had a few moments of being cool. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
As someone who used to work at AutoZone, he hit the nail on the head.
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.
Unbelievably reliable, fuel efficient, easy to work on, and still a joy to drive with the 5 speed.

My sister bought a black Paseo in the early 00's. We had a lot of fun in that thing. Then she sold it to a dude who fart piped it and just ran one center windshield wiper.
Lol at fart piped it🤣
I feared for my life sitting in the back seat of Paseo while my buddy was driving like he was on the Nurburgring.
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.
The contempt in your voice when you say Tercel is unwarranted.
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.
My Mom had one of these. And I had a Tercel. Honestly it was a fun little car.
The Paseo actually has engine mounts that will fit the turbo engine. It's a pretty good upgrade path,especially without 1996+ OBD requirements.
I hope to all that is holy that someone has and offers for review a first generation Oldsmobile Aurora. This channel and its subscribers deserves 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
everyone saw "the movie"
..... and never stopped hacking the mufflers off perfectly reasonable cars ever since. Fuck.
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.

@@dodger7183 thanks!
Okay I know them of course but I have to check the German voiceover if they say paseo or something else
This was my first car. My brother sold me his unmodified ‘93 with a stick. Almost identical to the one in the video minus the sun roof. It was the epitome of slow car fast. I did not modify it at all and still had plenty of fun, despite the A/C being worthless under 50 MPH during a Texas summer. The clutch was a b***h too, but that meant that only I had “the touch” to be able to drive it.
Thank you RCR for this review. I still remember the 90’s Toyota smell like I’m still sitting in it, sweating while driving my buddy and I to Fry’s after marching band rehearsal to ogle at the new computer crap while sipping Bawls energy drink. It’s 2003 all over again.
I remember this car from a book I read when I was a kid, Paseo sounds like “Not tall enough” in French (Pas assez haut) and the guy in the book made a pun
So when I see this the first thing I think is “Not tall enough”
Why do I know the outro song? *10 seconds later* “GOTTA BLAST!”
i thought so!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this comment. I was wondering where the outro parody was from.

Can confirm
The Paseo was my first car I financed. I owned it for 9 years an loved every minute of it. I had a full exhaust on it… yes, header and all.
May get one as first car too

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.
One of my old roommates had one of these, and she'd try to hotrod it around town even though she weighed as much as the car itself. She rarely bathed, so it reeked of BO and cigarettes.
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..

@@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

Car was a blast because just like the review said, it was fun at 50, looked decent, got about 3 billion miles to the gallon, and cost nothing to maintain. I'm sure no one can say the same about her ever...
This is the most accurate review yet and I watched almost all of them
I've literally never seen or heard of the Paseo
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.
Fun fact: there is a class for cars like the Paseo, Geo Storm, Hyundai Scoupe, and Del Sol/CRX. Econosport. Take one of the most basic cars in your lineup, put a cool coupe body on it, and squeeze all of the fun you can get out of the econobox underpinnings.
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.

Man thank you for this vid. I had a 92 Paseo as my first car back in the day. Bought it with 186k miles, drove the everliving piss out of it, and not once did she skip a beat. I loved that car. (I learned to drive stick on her too) 4 years later and about 120k miles added, I sold her for the same $1000 dollars that I bought her for. Same oil leak, stock everything. I did do my routine maintenance, breaks and alternator, but that's all she needed. Again, thank you for this awesome vid!

Finally! A video about a PASEO!! A 2nd gen Paseo was my aunts first car, she drove it for about ten years till I turned 18. That same old Paseo became my first car too, best summer I've ever had was with this funky and unpowerful coupe, I instantly fell in love with it, sadly it was in rough shape and had to be scrapped... This brings back memories.. Thank You for this video!!!
My dad had this car in college and he often talks about that it was a good car. I can’t wait to show him this

I've been in so many street races that I didn't even know I was racing in. At least until I hear the fart muffler screaming at 6000rpm slowly past me, while I'm cruising at the speed limit. I Haven't won a race yet, shucks.
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. 😜
Before I even watch the video I'd like to say that a 1996 paseo was my first car I loved it to death it went to 300,000 miles and boy does it have a story. I've been waiting for this video for a long time!
My first car was a 1993 Toyota Paseo with nearly 300,000km. I still miss it
The intro was pure excellence hahaha there's no one who does ads like RCR haha love it!
"How much for the strong **** pills? I'm trying to put her in the hospital." Absolute legend
In Scotch Plains, NJ of all places
Just say dick my guy
I had a guy who came in almost every night to get some of those when I worked at a gas station I’m surprised he hasn’t had a heart attack yet
Did you just censor yourself from saying dick?
@@iHaveTheDocuments Yeah, it's because I don't know how the CZcams algorithm would behave. I've been shadowbanned by CZcams for no apparent reason before.
I'm mad at CZcams for hiding this channel from me for so long. But at least now I get to binge. I can't stop watching your videos.
I had a 94 Paseo, and I had a Starlet engine shipped from Japan that I dropped in it. Some lady in an SUV smashed into me about a month later and totaled the car. I loved that car.
14:03 she barked, but she never threatened to bite.
Good girl
"The frog suit is cool if you're in a water level, but on land you're just hopping around all slow like some kind of asshole"
☠🤣 so true
I wonder if anyone has ever played through the whole game with just the frog suit just for fun?
@@chaseman94 I've tried. There are many places where it is impossible to finish a level with it.
Yeah... world 8 with a frog suit? Not going to happen.
The perfect gun is, at most, a thinking reed
The perfect gun is blood, at water level.
The perfect gun is sufficient unto the day
Glad you guys reviewed this one so I don't have to submit my dumpster fire!
Lol
I've been waiting for this review forever love it
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.
I can confirm as a Puerto Rican, we love Toyota’s more then ourselves...
The warriors and Mario bros. reference, this is why I love this channel.
I do love the little alignments of background cars with the script - a Prius passing the Paseo as you discuss how it could be gapped by one, and a *wide* Dodge brodozer in the heat of the fart noises
i don't think anybody still reading comments under two years old rcr videos, but i just have to make one. i drive 94 tercel el41 3 doors hatch, japanese model, mechanically it's almost identical to the cynos/paseo, and i love it from the bottom of my heart. it is the happiest car i drove, ever, the lightness, the suspension setup, balance, and, yeah, complete lack of power, makes it fun all the time, my commute is the highlight of the day, i kid you not. as years go by the maintenance and little repairs becoming less trivial, if i ever need to change a headlight i would have to ship it from japan or at least from another part of the country, but at the end of the day I'm happy to catch the tail of that era of cars, cheap, reliable, horribly unsafe (mine has exactly zero airbags), efficient little machines that we won't have again, for that I'm grateful, and I'll try my best to keep it on the road as long as i can

Gracias mi amigos!
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).
Damn shame too. Del Sols are nearly impossible to find unmolested after 25 years of being owned by various high schoolers.
My Del Sol could walk Highway Patrol Crown Vics as a hobby. Barely an economy car averaging mid-20's MPG's.
Mr. Regular is back! And I love it.
these are the only guys keeping the 00's vibe alive
"mom can we get integra?"
"we have integra at home"
integra at home: pAsEo
also it looks like a car from a "flatout 2" game
me: "honey, whats for dinner?"
rcr: 2:37 *roasted clutch*
reminded me of those stock Need For Speed Underground 2 clutches
Ooof yeah slippage
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.
This makes me appreciate my prelude even more
It sucks that dirt cheap coupes of the 90s like this Paseo and the European Market Opel Tigra and the Renault Megane Coupe dont exist anymore
They'll come back: AS AN SMALL (ELECTRIC) BOOMER CROSSOVER SUV. See what they did to the Eclipse and the Puma.
One of my favorite cars that I've always wanted to own, but have always talked myself out of.....I still love them though!
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.
Rallycrossing an MG Midget is the best conversation I have heard of for months
"Mom, can I have a prelude?"
My mom: FINE.
“You look cute when you eat those fries”
One of the best reviews ever on RCR
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
