Used 2001 Toyota ECHO 4 Dr STD Sedan for Sale near Houston, TX

I've liked virtually everything about this car for over 348,000 miles!!! So much that when I realized it might not last forever, I spent two days test driving new cars and then went and found a great buy on a used one with only 49,000 miles. I figure I'm all set for the next 13 years!!

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.

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...)

i like that the car ges great gas mileage. it really helps now adays because of the higher gas prices. it never needed any necessary maintance. i love the fact it is small and i can park pretty much any where. it is not too fast but it is a great first car for anyone.

Great little car that just sips the gas. When it's my turn to carpool, out comes the Echo! It performs decently with the 5 speed...it's no sports car, but it's no slouch either.
