2001 Toyota ECHO review from North America
"This car is a dream to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
From the time I purchased this car, I haven't had any problems at all.
General comments?
I wasn't expecting too much from a 10k car, but once I started driving it daily I fell in love. From it's toyish looks you wouldn't expect this car to hit 60MPH in 6.5 seconds or have a built in rev limiter, but it does! When Toyota designed this car they had performance in their sights. Stock, this car outperforms Honda Civic, and Ford Focus. Not only can I hit 60 in 6.5 seconds, I can still get 43MPG doing it! This is a wonderful car for someone who likes a personal car.
