  Great little car - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By dickrwh - September 20 - 2:00 am

  A great little car. I average high 40s fuel economy in the city even though it is rated low 40s. My highway mileage is somewhat lower since I tend to drive too fast. It seems to have a natural highway speed resonance of about 80-85. I have sometimes found myself over 100 mpg.

  Milage as promised - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By Cariade - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I commute 110 miloes a day and love my car. Gage placement takes a little getting used to but is really much better since nothing is ever blocking your viw of the gages

  Driven Hard! - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By trdecho1 - November 7 - 10:00 am

  Mine is actually a 2000 5-speed sedan. Selection list did not go back past 2003. But I love mine, it has 64,000 miles and has not skipped a beat. It has been driven hard due to my lead foot! I run synthetic oil in engine and tranny. 0w-30 in the engine,and 75w-90 in the tranny. Helped alot with pickup and dealer put it in for me. I also run a aftermarket air filter, and took out the baffle in the air box. Put on different muffler, but not a cannon like all other imports, still quiet. I love out running hondas and fords and getting better gas milage in the process. Would keep this car even if I won the lottery!

  Canadian Toyota Echo 5-DR Hatchback 2004 - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By wwhtbabp - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I saw it few year ago in Japan & was suprised that Toyota decided to bring it to Canada, but not to the US (sorry my American friends, so you know how I feel about the MR2 Spyder). I bought it mainly because it is a unique car (I live along the US/Canadian border). Handling & power are actually quite acceptable. With saving from its fuel economy, it wont be long till I can afford an American unique MR2 Spyder.

  disagree with your review - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By scooterbooter - March 19 - 2:00 am

  I own the echo hatch(canada).I love it inside and out .Im 64 and have had no issues completely comfortable.As for the centre mounted gauges, my seated height usually interfered with my view through the steering wheel ,once youve tried it ,its always just there even while spinning the wheel.Handling wise ive driven everything from my old celica and previa up to new f-350 work trucks I can definetly say that my echo handles a twisty road better than anything in my experience its so light you can throw it in to the corners and go fast feeling confident that you can decelerate and manouver in a hurry.

  Great Little Car - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By gjben - December 24 - 2:00 am

  This car is perfect for the type of driving I do. It is almost exclusively city driving and the ECHO is economical beyond belief, rides well, handles easily and is a great little car.
