2001 Toyota ECHO Sedan review from North America
"ECHO is a great little reliable and economical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My little ECHO has had NO problems at all, just routine maintenance.
General comments?
In spite of all the jokes I've heard about my little red ECHO, I laugh all the way to the gas station when I fill my tank once/month or less often. I only work part-time and don't do a lot of driving, so this is the perfect car for me. It is comfortable and fun to drive, easy to park, the stereo is great and the A/C makes life easy.
This is my 4th Toyota, and I've noticed that the bodies on these cars seem to hold up quite well compared to some other brands. I live in PA where the winter roads are constantly coated with salt, and I've had no body-work issues, and no trouble driving in snow for that matter. The trunk in my ECHO also seems to be able to hold everything I try to put in it - a very versatile car. I've had a Tercel and two Corollas, and this ECHO is my favorite Toyota by far.
