2003 Toyota ECHO review from Australia and New Zealand
"Terrific little city car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
My daughters car, and she thrashes it. It is very reliable, great in traffic and feels like a shuttle car from the passenger side. But the Toyota reliability just keeps it going.
It is fairly responsive considering it is only a 1.3 litre engine. Keeps up with traffic easily and has a responsive automatic.
A bit noisy in the cabin (hence my shuttle car comment).
