Junkyard Gems: 1995 Toyota Paseo Coupe

Toyota sold Tercel in North America for almost 20 years, since the first Corolla Tercels Appears here for the 1980 model year (Tercel is not related to corollabut Toyota wants the benefit of name recognition) until echo appeared in 1999. Tercel is quite affordable and boasts a certainly impressive build quality, but it’s always been an uninteresting transport device. Someone at Toyota decided that a small sporty coupe based on the Tercel would be a great idea, and so the Paseo was born. This is a rare second-generation Paseo, found recently in a Colorado wreck.

In 1995, the Paseo had a little more power than its Tercel brother, with 100 hp from this DOHC 5E four bangs (the ’95 Tercel version of this engine makes 92 horses). Since this vehicle weighs just over a ton, it will be a bit heavy.

However, some pep was sucked away by the automatic in this car. The base transmission is a five-speed manual (the cheapest Tercels there are still four-tier manual at this time).

The Paseo has an eye-catching spoiler to go along with its sleek roofline.

How much? MSRP on Paseo 1995 with automatic number is $14,228, or about $28,183 in 2022 dollars. If you’re willing to drive a manual transmission, the ’95 five-speed Paseo is listed at $13,428 ($26,598 today).

While, Mazda will sell you a new one MX-3 for $14,440 ($28,602 today), while the cheapest possible Honda Del Sol priced at $14,780 ($29,276). hyundai however, beat everyone in the small coupe market that year with a new model. trick starting at just $9.995 ($19,798).

Just over 150,000 miles, disappointingly low for a Toyota of this day (especially considering that highest odometer readings I’ve ever seen on a junkyard Toyota was in a Tercel).

In Australiaa new Paseo got you feral cats.

Noisy at high speed? It’s a point of sale!

In its homeland, where it makes random passersby dance in the streets, this car is called the Cynos. Yes, a converted version availablealthough only briefly in the United States.

Leap! Leap!
