2000 Toyota ECHO Base review from North America
"Fantastic commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.. Have to keep the serpentine belt very tight so not make noise with the A/C on.
Tire/road noise more than I expected.
General comments?
Like the ride, better than expected.
Excellent on gas, great economy car, very easy to drive.
Very poor drivers seat hard and uncomfortable on long trips. It needs a seat that has an adjustable bottom and a lil longer bottom.
Need to have the steering wheel come further away from dash, have to have the seat too straight up.
This seems to be a great lil car in general except for the drivers position!!
