The ECHO, Toyota’s sub-compact sedan, did not change significantly for 2002.
The 2002 Toyota ECHO came in two body styles, a two door and a four door. Both shared a 108-horsepower 1.5-liter engine. It came standard with a five-speed manual transmission, and a four-speed automatic was an available option. Fuel economy was excellent, about 31/38 mpg.
By 2002, The Toyota ECHO was gaining more fans, but it still had its detractors. Those who like the car praise it for its Toyota reliability, low cost, fuel economy, and unusual appearance. ECHO fans admit that the car comes with very few creature comforts, but for the most part, they are fine with that. Those who dislike the 2002 ECHO complain that it is very noisy and bumpy at freeway speeds, has unattractive styling, and a cheap-looking interior.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2002 Toyota ECHO generally feel positive about their cars, praising its impressive fuel efficiency, fun driving experience, and overall reliability. Many appreciated the vehicle's small size, which makes it easy to park and maneuver in city settings.

Overall, the ECHO is seen as a low-cost, dependable option for those seeking a practical vehicle."
This car handles very well on the road and I have always felt safe driving this car. Durable and trustworthy and toyotas seem to lat forever. Would highly recommend this car to any one looking for smaller car. Also very fun to drive.
July 13, 2013I co-owned this car back around 2005-2006. It has gas mileage of 40 to 42, the most fuel-efficient ever existed. Too bad it didn't sell well that Toyota decided to cease production. It was easy to maneuver and it is small, perfect for city streets. Good performance as it almost never needed any repairs during my co-ownership. However, its outside appearance did not seem to attract a lot of people; but I only cared about its fuel economy and functionality.
August 8, 2008Performance : very good acceleration and handling and braking as it's small Build Quality: if you are cool driving there is no need to repair Appearance : Small and tight and cool as you can feel that you are handling the car not as big cars Cost of Ownership: sheep Fun factor : just drive it and you will see how it can do every thing (drift - hand braking turn - 180 - over speed to 182 - double calatch - loud stereo )

December 5, 2008It was the best inversion ever!!! The quality of the ECHO is awesome. The performance is incredible, the only thing that I spend money on it is on gas, tires and regular mantainance. It's really a fun car to drive. If you are looking for a non-expensive carwith good rendiment, this is the car for you!!!
July 13, 2008Love the manual 5-speed; it gives me more control over the car. It has good gas mileage, easy to find parking, and zips around fabulously.
June 15, 2008Low maintenance, lots of room, reliability. You get good gas mileage. Overall, a good car.
January 17, 2008The car gets wonderful gas mileage and drove well the 700 miles I have driven it so far. I would compare it to other Toyotas but it was a good value!
