2005 Toyota ECHO Review
Price Estimate: $1,348 - $2,112

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Good gas mileage, speedy acceleration, roomy and functional interior, Toyota reliability.
Cons
- Cartoonish styling, annoying gauge placement, shaky handling, deceptively low base pricing.
What’s new
There are no changes for the Echo this year.
Edmunds says
With its cheap interior and wobbly handling, the Echo doesn't seem like much of a bargain, especially when you consider the more capable, better-packaged offerings from Hyundai and Toyota's own Scion division.

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.
best economy car for the buck!

2005 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 4A)
I had a Honda 1999 civic before this and I spent $3000. On services just to keep it right. These echos just need oil changes. More room higher off ground for flood areas better mpg quieter. You have to neglect the car to have a problem. 30mpg city. Easy to drive and park. I had a 2005 corolla and it was falling apart . Sad. I know when I walk out to my echo it is going to take … me where I'm going with no problems. These cars were built right. 200k miles easy. No timing belt bs. At 113k now only needs front rotors replaced. Perfect for city or long distance. I would drive it anywhere anytime year.
