Echo that keeps going

I've owned this car for 19 years, with almost 200,000 miles. It's been super fuel efficient and very road worthy in all weather. Basic maintenance is all I've needed to do. It's a manual and very maneuverable. I've taken it cross country many times. ?

Great reliable, fuel efficient vehicle

I've owned my Echo with a manual transmission for 18 years. It's driven across country many times and been a great highway vehicle, for speed, acceleration, comfort, reliability. I've had a drive belt break and a power steering tube leak but that's it for mechanical problems. I'd say that's pretty great. It's a small car, so if you are over 6', you will notice. It's easy to maneuver and the gas milage was ahead of it's time for a 2002 vehicle. It's handles well in all weather and has a suprising amount of storage space. I think the only thing I wish it had was fold down back seats that open into the trunk for carrying larger, long items. I think later models or other versions of Echoes have that feature.

Excellent car!

I love the car. It is a Toyota so the motor is excellent and dependable. The car handles well. I have had the car for almost 20 years and expect to have it another 20. Well, apparently this response needs to be at least 200 characters long. Now it is.

Pro and con

The mileage is great but there are some flaws. Review camera is truly awful. The location or slant of the gps is almost unusable in bright daylight or night for that matter and the dash instruments reflect a glow on the windshield at night. Hate the split in the rear window. But, all things considered a great car. I will not buy another if the complaints I noted are not corrected however.

A reliable car.

As the owner of a 2002 Toyota Echo, I find this car to be very reliable. It is a bare bones model with no extras but has served me well. It requires almost no maintenance, except an oil change twice a year. It's a stick shift and fun to drive and I am 65. I have 60,000 miles on it and plan on driving it for a very long time. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Good basic transportation

Bought 2002 Echo as a new vehicle. Economical, good basic transport for getting around the city. Still runs like a top in 2017, with only regular maintenance and replacement of common parts that wear out with mileage. About 22mpg in town; about 27mpg on freeway. Ride is smooth and trunk substantially large for a small car. Current miles: about 103,000. Only one caveat: does not do well in the snow.

This is my Granddaughter's Echo and she loves it.

This Echo gets great gas mileage plus is a high end with all the special additions. It gets my Granddaughters to work every day. Which is very important for these two Cna. It now sports chrome wheels. I have two Echoes in my name and the above picture is the one n keep t driven by me. People are still asking me if mine is for sale.
