Used Toyota ECHO for Sale

I've had this car for seventeen year, and it's still a very reliable machine. It still gets better than average mileage (around 27 mph on streets; 35 mph on the highway). The car handles well and has a very impressive turn radius. The car does have a "unique" boxy look that some think is unattractive, but I (and other Echo owners) really like it. For a small car, it is surprisingly roomy, and has impressive trunk space. The view from the driver's seat is a bit higher than other cars, so it's nice to be able to see above some of the smaller vehicles on the road. My biggest complaints are that the engine is not as responsive as I would like (sometimes I have to literally put the pedal to the metal to accelerate quickly in order to get out of potentially dangerous situations), there are no power windows, and the headrests are big and bulky and actually impair my ability to see behind me or to check my blind-spots. Also, the odometer console is located in the center of the dashboard (between the driver and front passenger seats), rather than directly above the steering wheel, which takes some time to get used to. Overall, I'm quite happy with this car, and if Toyota still made the Echo, I would definitely consider purchasing another one the next time I buy a car.

This car gets great gas mileage and has been an excellent daily driver through the years. With minimal maintenance it has traveled on and on with only a couple of issues related to routine care. I love this car and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I love that my Toyota Echo is fantastic on gas. It gets around 35 miles to the gallon average, making my habit of taking pleasure drives much lighter on the wallet. The car is also significantly easy to be repaired. While the parts can be hard to find, the car is made like a puzzle. I was once told that it was like taking the pieces and just placing them in one area, no taking out extra pieces to get to another part of the car. The downside, however, is that this car is very small. While a small in size car is great for me personally, as I like smaller vehicles to maneuver in, it can be very hard to fit a lot of objects. For example, if moving somewhere, the car doesn't pack much. Can only carry four passengers, five if you have small enough people. The car however runs very well. The speed pick up is about average for an engine of its size, and I've never had too many problems with it running (past the normal issues such as brakes, etc.). As for maintenance the car requires very little. The standard oil change, tune up, tire change, etc. work well for this car. The parts are usually not expensive, despite being occasionally difficult to find. Overall, I am satisfied with the car. Due to most uses other people would have for it, however, I am not likely to recommend it, unless for pleasure driving, like myself.
