2000 Toyota ECHO 4-door review from North America
"It is a great overall car, but needs more power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with my car, possibly because I owned it since the car was new.
General comments?
My echo is good on gas and very dependable. I went to Monterey and back on half a tank, but has poor handling. To increase handling performance I went to wider tires, from a 175/70/14 to a 185/60/14, which has made a huge difference in just that little width I gained in the tires. I love the factory stereo, with amazing sound and easy controls, making it easy for anybody to use. The car could use more power, especially when trying to get onto the freeway after having to stop at those ridiculous lights before entrance.
