I just bought a 2000 Toyota Echo in 2019

In December of 2018 I experienced a huge financial reversal and good a friend sold me a 2000 Echo 4 speed coupe that he took in trade. Who knew that underneath all the dirt was a 65.000 mile gem. Fortunately my business and income is back to normal but I have no desire to let my Echo go. It's now January 6, 2021 and my Echo just turned 70 thousand miles and I drive it every day for short trips around Sarasota Florida. I'm 74 years old and I have to say that my 2000 Totota Echo is the most trouble free relieble car I've ever owned.

I LOVE this car

It gets good mileage, average of 36 mpg, and it handles well for a small car. It's comfortable, though I find my shoulder hurting after sitting in it too long since I'm 6'1 and the armrest on the door isn't quite high enough to sit without slouching. The only problems so far are a catalytic converter and a charcoal canister. The Catalytic Converter was replaced at 79,000 and now needs it again at 90,000, that's a major expense only 11,000 miles apart. I do love this car, so hopefully once its catalytic converter is fixed it will be back to its excellent driving condition. The Toyota dealership was happy to see it and told me they are the best of the used Toyotas out there.

I was always amazed at the torque in 2nd gear. I once pulled past a Corvette. The driver and I each gave each other looks of surprise. I was impressed by the reliability and the fuel economy.

Endearing little machine

This car has won me over. Despite the awful center-mount gauges and ugly styling, Toyota did its homework. Interior space is larger than its subcompact rating would suggest, as is its trunk. The interior materials, while not much on a quality impression, are extremely hard wearing. Few rattles are to be heard. The ride is comfortable for a car with such a short wheelbase, but handling can be squirrelly especially at higher speeds or in crosswinds. The motor isn't exactly refined but even saddled with an automatic transmission it moved the car with surprising swiftness and equally impressive fuel economy - low 30's on my short commute with a/c and near 40 on long trips.
