I Love My Car..here Are A Few Reasons Why — The main issues that I have with the toyota echo that I own are the lack of automatic locks or windows and storage space. My favourite part about my echo, besides gas mileage, is the customization. Anyone who knows me will know that it is my car because of the distinctive decals, magnets, and overall appearance. The oddest part about my vehicle is the large alice pack (aka my 72 hour Search & Rescue gear) strapped into the back seat..hey, it has to go somewhere! =)

Good Daily Driver — Acceleration is OK, as is braking, actually got it to 107 once - downhill. Turns very sharply, short wheelbase, and engine is way down low, so CG feels suprisingly low for such a tall car. Build quality is excellent, 105,000+ miles, no maintenance beyond oil, plugs, brake pads and a new set of tires in 55000 miles (bought used). Appearance is alright, less boring than many economy cars - the gauges are in the center of the dash turned towards the driver. Gas mileage is excellent averages 35MPG, once got nearly 40 burning an entire tank on the freeway. For an economy car with a 1.8L engine its suprisingly fun to drive.

Got Gas?? — This car gets great gas mileage! It had no problem besides what regularly goes wrong with cars. The only thing was it had no power. Oil changes were very simple to do also. To bad FED EX had to kill him! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Still Lovin' It! — Owned for 6 yrs- still love everything about fitting in tight parking spaces, getting better gas mileage than the majority, and most of all it's been with me in 4 countries and is perfect for every one! Downfall- the interior is fairly basic. | ||

ProsThe best gas mileage, better than most hybreds. ConsLight and fidgity on the freeway. Crosswinds require two hands on the wheel.

The Perfect Commuter Car! — I like that it was cheap to buy ($11,000), gets as good gas mileage as my motorcycles after a synthetic oil change and a K&N air filter (43 mpg), and it's easy to park this little car just about anywhere. Since it's a Toyota, parts are cheap and easy to find (if I were to ever need them). Our car now has 170,000 miles, and we've only replaced the clutch and a crank sensor! Accessories and options are almost non-existant. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Great Buy, Easy To Drive & Maintain, Fun! — I love this car! I've had it since I bought it new almost 10 years ago. Though it doesn't have many frills, it beats out nearly every car sold today in economy and gas mileage. I have a manual transmission, and it is fun to drive... so zippy and handles very well. I have never had to replace or repair anything major, just kept up with oil changes and occasional maintenance, and I have spent very little other money besides buying tires a couple of times. It is no Corvette, but the manual trans. has pretty good acceleration, very responsive breaking & handling. It is a minimalist car, as I bought it when I was broke and in college, but seeing as I spent little to buy it and almost nothing on repairs, it has been a great investment, compared to other comparably priced cars I don't believe would have served me as well. I can't say enough good things about this car, it is great! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Stop Laughing. — I'll give you a second to stop laughing. Okay - well this car was a lease that we bought out because it was over on mileage, and we haven't looked back. Absolutely indestructable. 260,000 on it and I've done front brakes twice and rears once and done each front bearing once. That's IT for repairs. It blew 0's on its last E-test. Ridiculously reliable little POS. Oh yeah, it barely uses any fuel - better highway mileage than any current hybrid. (So is the Yaris by the way...) Primary Use: Commuting to work |
