Great Car
Excelent car. On average I get 39 miles to the galon. The bigest problem I have with the car is the salesmen were realy pushing that you can go 7500 miles between oil changes when in reality if you read the manual 5000 is more like it unless your drive in perfect conditions. But 5000 miles is not bad and the car drives great.
Long Term Economy
One of the most desirable features I have found with the Echo is the motor and drivetrain. It has excellent performance for a 1.5L motor - I assume this is due in part to the Variable Valve Timing. There is no timing belt that will need to be replaced in a few years, it uses a timing chain. There are no spark plug wires that need to be replaced either. I agree with the Edmunds review that the styling is not as desireable as the Scions which use the same drivetrain.
my favorite
This car is the first toyota that I have owned. It has proven to be a very reliable vehicle and has weathered this awful winter in the northeast without any difficulty. I frankly love the location of the instrument panel although I see some are not so happy with that. The only thing that I miss is a rear window wiper.
Lovin' life in my Echo!
I've added 126,000 miles to this car in 14 months & I've LOVED it! Gas mileage is great - 38 mpg! Seven front seat storage compartments are unrivaled in ANY prev. car I've owned for both quantity and convenience. Interior roominess is unbelievable - awesome for tall drivers! I'd buy one for every day of the week, but it's just not necessary.
Toyota Echo
I love my Toyota Echo. Its gets me wherever i want to go. It goes ok on the snow too. its a great car to cruise around town in.
