Good Buy

Bought mine brand new from the dealer, it hasn't been back to the dealer since. (Except for the small fact that nobody in my area sells the air filter yet) I have never gotten worse than 44 miles per gallon and my highest was 50. Only extras I got were cruise control and a CD player. I drive over 35,000 miles a year, so I just wanted a car that would last and got good gas mileage.

Amazing Car

I bought my Echo new in 1999. I have been driving it now for 11 years and I never had to turn the key twice. I'm at 140K now and other than the oxygen sensors triggering the check engine light, this car has been amazing. I want to keep driving it to see how many miles I can get on it. My last good car was a 1989 Toyota extended cab which I loved.

Hit head on at 292,000 miles

The 1.5 liter engine produces 108 horsepower. If that horsepower to liter ratio stayed the same a 6 liter engine would produce 432 horsepower...and get outrageous mileage. My Echo got 43 mpg overall and around 54 on the highway at 65 mph. It was hit in the front with 292,000 miles on it. Original CV Axles, original clutch, exhaust and all steering gear. Was going strong and will live on as generator power.

I'm 57, and I have owned many cars. Nothing even comes close to the Echo. Ten years old, and still getting gas mileage close to a hybrid. Just change the oil and tires, it just keeps going.

Couldn't be happier

First car I've ever owned, and being a college student, it's awesome on the mileage. I generally get around 35 mpg, and that's a combination of highway and street driving. Recently, I moved 2000 miles across the country, with the car packed full of everything I owned. The weight was so high that the back tires were almost completely in the wheel-wells! This car performed the ENTIRE trip like it didn't have anything but the driver in the car. I have never had any problem with the car whatsoever, and I would totally recommend this car to anybody...ANYBODY. I couldn't be happier in the past year and a half that I've owned this vehicle.
