Used 2000 Toyota ECHO Coupe Consumer Reviews
Unstoppable, Well-Engineered Car
Bought this car brand new in 2000. 13 years and 220,000 miles later, I have no plans to let it go anytime soon. Replaced the catalytic converter at about 150,000 miles, but no other repairs ever needed - routine maintenance only. It does leak some oil now, but that's to be expected at this age. 34-36 MPG avg. combined, city and hwy. Incredibly roomy interior and trunk, given the car's tiny exterior. Interior features are simple and "plastic-y" but are rugged. Engine has plenty of power and pep, but handling leaves a bit to be desired, especially when taking curves at high speed, or in stiff winds. Hard to beat for simple, reliable, and comfortable transportation
I may make the foreign car leap...
Just got this little car so I can park my big ol' Ford F-150 gas guzzler for a while. Was not expecting much- but it is surprisingly fun to drive. It feels much larger than it's subcompact size, and the trunk is rather roomy. The check engine light was on when I got it, and like everyone else, it's O2 sensors. It is by no means a sports car, but with 198,000 miles on it- there are NO rattles and it feels solid. The interior is in remarkable condition considering the age and miles. It was filthy when we got it- we gutted the interior and cleaned everything and it is very close to new looking now- proving the durability of the interior. I don't think I will regret this purchase.

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.

Amazing tho Small
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.
