2001 Toyota ECHO review from North America
"I could never replace this car, there is nothing better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hail storm damage shattered the windows and dented my car.
General comments?
My little echo survived the worst hail storm anyone has ever seen!
It happened one evening in October, giant tennis ball sized hail rained down on my town and shattered the windowed of every car around and dented many so badly that they had to be totaled. Even after my car was confirmed as totaled, I still got offers to buy it. Instead I kept the poor little thing and replaced all that I could so that it would drive again. I don't care what other cars are out there I wanted my Toyota! I could never replace it; I had it for three years with no problems. I looked, but could not find a better car and now with the gas prices on the rise my little blue echo is even better then ever! I could have bought bran new 2004 Chevy for the same price it cost to fix my car, but I'd rather drive my dimpled 2001 Toyota echo.
