2000 Toyota ECHO VVT-i review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very noisy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 3 months the engine overheated because the service technician hadn't put the radiator cap on properly.
At 19,000km the park brake locked on and they found rust in the brake drum.
The entire car rattles and every time I've had it fixed, it's okay for a few days and then it gets worse.
General comments?
I feel like I've got the bad car in the batch. I am really disappointed with it. I'm so disappointed, I've sold it!
I would appreciate other comments from Echo owners as I would like to know if it was just my car.
