  Unbeliveably dependable - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By BeatleFan - November 16 - 8:50 pm

  We have over 100,000 miles on our Echo and still have the same spark plugs, coolant, battery, clutch...everything except 2 sets of tires and 1 set of brakes. Never had a minutes trouble out of this car, it still drives as well as the day we boughht it new and the fuel economy is awesome. We will definitely by another Echo in 2 years. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS CAR!

  Great car, great mpg, great value - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By sctam1007 - October 17 - 3:20 pm

  After having SUVs, my concern was being able to haul stuff around. With the folding rear seats, Im still able to haul 2X4s and other home improvement items. Great gas mileage (remember the SUVs). It feels much larger on the inside that what you would think. My husband is 64" and has plenty of head/leg room. We also have had 4 plus size people inside and still lots of room. Ive found I can fit more into the trunk than I could in the "trunk" of my Jeep Liberty. I would recommend this car to anyone. It is a great value.

  An ECHO to shout about! - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By tallcooloneny - September 19 - 10:00 am

  This is my 9th vehicle in 20 years of driving, and I must say, it is the BEST one so far. I am a TOYOTA convert thanks to my ECHO, with build quality better than a $40k Caddy....lol

  Hot! Pocket Rocket - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By James Fidelis - August 18 - 2:00 am

  Excellent fuel economy, great performance, agile and fun to drive. For the size, has exceptional comfort. Needs more available options. I could have bought any car I desired. I tested everything from a Camry down and chose the Echo because its just so fun to drive and to cute to ignore.

  HOT MAMAS ECHOES - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By HOT MAMA - May 25 - 2:00 am

  Its nimble and fun to drive....you actually have to drive it...it doesnt go 80 mph unless you have put it there. Bit difficult if you have to go up a mountain.... good in snow.

  The best small car ever - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By Amurtadi - August 30 - 2:46 pm

  I made 103K KM since I bought it new for C$13000. I had no trouble with it at all. It is the best bang for the buck. Drives and handles very well. It is not very comfortable for long distance travel but you can drive it very comfortably for 100 mile with no hassle. Excellent leg room in the back seat for 64" tall person.

  my favorite - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By pseudogram - July 18 - 2:00 am

  This car is the first toyota that I have owned. It has proven to be a very reliable vehicle and has weathered this awful winter in the northeast without any difficulty. I frankly love the location of the instrument panel although I see some are not so happy with that. The only thing that I miss is a rear window wiper.

  My favorite car ever - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By Julie Harris - January 17 - 10:00 am

  My Echo is perfect for me - superb gas mileage, classy look, extremely comfortable and fun to drive. Great head and leg room, even for the tall men in my life! All my friends rave about my "little big" car.

  My Echo...My Echo...My Echo - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By mailmanfrank - November 4 - 2:00 am

  The car performs well, giving good gas mileage and stability.I am pleased with the positioning of the guages and speedometer. I have found that there is amble leg room for drivers and passengers(front seat). The cargo capabilties (trunk) are amazingly good. I would probably look to buy another Echo in the future.

  Cheap and good - 2004 Toyota Echo
  By Lumpierre - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I have had over 10 Toyotas over the years. This is my second Echo. They are cheap, attractive, great mileage and reliable. For someone living on a steady income, it is great! One more advantage: for people with disabilities: the drivers seat is so high that it gives a full view of what is ahead of you; fantastic in that aspect!
