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.

2005 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
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.

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 owned low cost, long range commuter
Gregory Estes, 05/17/2009
2005 Toyota ECHO 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
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).
