Over $800 invested to make the car spring ready!!!!! 1997 Toyota Paseo Convertible by Carey Russ The Paseo coupe has provided Toyota with a reasonably-priced, high-quality presence in the small sporty coupe segment of the automotive marketplace since mid-1991. It was redesigned inside and out for the 1996 model year, and continues mostly unchanged for 1997. Mostly is the key word, as there is a major addition to the Paseo lineup this year - a convertible. It is Toyota's lowest-priced convertible, and is also one of the lowest-priced convertibles offered by any manufacturer. The Paseo convertible is a first-rate conversion done by Automobile Specialty Company (ASC) in Long Beach, California - the same company that has been making the Toyota Celica convertibles for the past decade. ASC and Toyota have been partners for a long time, and it shows in the fit and finish and quality of the Paseo convertible. Paseo convertibles start life as coupes on the same assembly line in Toyota City, Japan as other Paseos, but extra reinforcement is added to their rocker panels, rear strut towers, and rear fenders. They are then shipped to ASC for top removal and the rest of the conversion process. A 4-layer insulated top that has a heated glass rear window is added, as are glass rear quarter windows that fold automatically with the manually-operated top. The top can be easily and quickly raised or lowered by one person. The convertible conversion only adds 143 lbs. to the Paseo's weight, and has a minimal impact on chassis stiffness. In performance, handling, and fun quotient, the Paseo is equal to or better than any of the small convertibles available in recent years. A 93-horsepower twincam engine gives sprightly performance and the same sporty snarl as many a sports car of the past. However, the Paseo convertible is evolutionary epochs ahead of the small-displacement European sports cars I remember from my formative years. The week I spent with it was marked by cold and rain. No problems there - the heater worked just fine, the top didn't leak, could be raised or lowered in seconds, and had a glass backlight that won't ever go opaque. The Paseo convertible combined good old days small-displacement fun with modern Toyota practicality, civilization, and quality. APPEARANCE: Small convertibles can look a little awkward. Not the Paseo. It is a well-proportioned car that is handsome with the top up or down. It shares most of its sheet metal with the current
