Used 2001 Toyota ECHO for Sale near Allentown, PA
The Toyota ECHO saw very few changes for 2001. Driver and passenger-side airbags were an option and a new color choice was available, but other than that, the 2001 ECHO saw very few changes.
The 2001 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.
Drivers of the 2001 Toyota ECHO either love it or hate it. The ECHO fans love its reliability, value, gas mileage, and low price. They do not miss the frills and features that might come with a more expensive car, and some even like the way the car looks. The naysayers complain that the interior feels cheap, the car is noisy and unstable at freeway speeds, and that it is hard to find models with a lot of options. Some also claim that the car is very unattractive.

(28 reviews)Always loved the Echo. Good gas mileage, simple/sporty little car that lasts forever.
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!!
This is a great first car or small eco friendly vehicle for those single folks or a couple! Surprisingly lots of space and the seats are very comfy for a long drive! Great gas mileage (one of my favorite things about this vehicle) and maintenance is great and minimal! Also great for tall people, my brother is 6"3' and can sit (and stretch legs) comfortably!
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...)
