Used 2002 Toyota ECHO Consumer Reviews
I beg to differ with you on this one
I love the car and most people who ride in it are plesently surprised at the roominess, comfort and gas mileage. Until we can get some of the more stylish small cars from Europe, I will continue to enjoy my Echo. When it's paid off, I will keep it for just commuting to work and get something else for show.
Most Reliable Car Ever
This car is very reliable and besides normal maintenance, have hardly done any repairs on it in my four years of ownership. I`m 6`4" so it`s roomy except a little tight for the legs. This car has great fuel economy, so it`s great for trips. The car is surprisingly agile and very nervous for it`s size. I use it mainly for driving to work, trips on occasion and as my winter car.

Who needs a Smartcar??!
When I drive my Echo, I forget that it is a 1.5 liter VVT-i and not a sports car. I was surprised when I test drove it, as I was expecting the response to compare to a Ford Tempo. The car has more interior room than my brothers 2008 Aveo, and my other brothers 2008 Focus! It is not the fastest car on the block, but it sure is fun to drive! I own the manual, so I wouldn't even want to ever drive an auto again!
2 door Toyota Echo 2001
Good qualities: The 2 door Toyota Echo 2001 is a fun car to drive - it zips around, up hills even with the AC on. It also has a fantastic 3 in 1 stereo system with 6 speakers. It stands a little higher off the ground, especially for a small car, which is very helpful in this era of SUVs. I am a large person, and the Echo fits me well, with plenty of head room and no need for a seatbelt extender. I also find the dashboard set up (with the MPH in the center of the dash) to be easier to read than peering through the steering wheel, and I love all the additional spaces built in to the dash.
Overall good car
This was my first car and I drove it for about three years. During that time span, I had a few problems with the A/C and it went through two alternators. We had the original alternator replaced, and one year later it needed another alternator. Otherwise, it was a good car. It was cheap to maintain and great on gas, but that's about it. I recently upgraded to a fully loaded Hyundai Elantra and it is day and night from the Echo in terms of comfort and features.
