With gas prices rising, I'm so happy with my Toy. Great for people on fixed incomes. Would consider buying another one when the time comes. Great in snow 1 foot or less. Front seat nice and high especially for elderly, and people with problems from the waist down, especially disabled transferring from wheelchair to car.
small wonder packs it in

I love my Echo. In today's times of rising gas prices, it's fabulous gas mileage and small gas tank feel like a relief.

This appraisal is for a become-15 year old daily driver hatchback Echo in rust belt eastern Ontario, Canada that currently has 260,000 km on it. Most reliable car I've owned in the past 50 years. I've always driven fuel efficient cars (ie econoboxes with manual transmissions) but this is the very first one I've ever had that achieves 5 litre/100 km day all day long and on one occasion last year actually crossed over the miracle (certainly for me) 60 miles per Imperial gallon (4.5 l/100 km) during a leisurely 400 km road trip through New York State. That still mostly-rust-free old car (I'm a believer in annual oil sprays) has virtually no resale value anymore but the engine uses no oil between changes and parts such as the clutch, alternator, starter, power steering pump, radiator, water pump are still original. I will definitely be shopping for another Toyota when the old girl gives up the ghost or somebody crashes into it. Compared to low-slung cars Echos are tall which makes them easy to get in an out of.

Bought new to commute 100 miles a day round trip, both freeway and intercity (half and half). Have tracked mileage since new, averages 37-41 depending on road conditions, speed and my patience with traffic. Normally drive 60-65 mph highway. Only serviced at 60k and now have 97k miles. I do my own oil and filter change every 3k miles. I love this little car, hope to get 300k plus out of it. Would definitely recommend this car to anyone! (note, it's stick shift).
