2000 Toyota ECHO review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not just a woman's car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Perfectly reliable and quite well built for the class.
General comments?
The interior is refreshingly different with an abundance of storage compartments.
100% reliability combined with attractive styling and class leading crash safety.
Very fuel efficient.
Reasonable asking price.
Reasonable engine power from the 1.3, but could still be better.
Only complaints: it should have twin airbags and ABS braking as standard features.
