  Best by Far - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By vuduthmb - November 4 - 7:56 pm

  Im 57, and I have owned many cars. Nothing even comes close to the Echo. Ten years old, and still getting gas mileage close to a hybrid. Just change the oil and tires, it just keeps going.

  So far very good - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By Serbian - January 25 - 2:00 am

  50.000 km without single problem. Car did not see dealer. Seats and seating positions is excelent. I like big trunk. I do not like "side wind" driving car instead of me.

  Awesome little car! - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By dimples - November 25 - 8:36 pm

  I love this car and have had it for 8 yrs with no problems. I only had to change the tires and oil. Make a great product and then discontinue it! Makes sense. Why in the world did Toyota do this! I am going out to buy a newer Toyota Echo with less mileage and run it to death like this one.

  I may make the foreign car leap... - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By rcfk - October 3 - 10:07 pm

  Just got this little car so I can park my big ol Ford F-150 gas guzzler for a while. Was not expecting much- but it is surprisingly fun to drive. It feels much larger than its subcompact size, and the trunk is rather roomy. The check engine light was on when I got it, and like everyone else, its O2 sensors. It is by no means a sports car, but with 198,000 miles on it- there are NO rattles and it feels solid. The interior is in remarkable condition considering the age and miles. It was filthy when we got it- we gutted the interior and cleaned everything and it is very close to new looking now- proving the durability of the interior. I dont think I will regret this purchase.

  Best little car out there - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By echo1 - September 18 - 10:00 am

  When my boyfriend totalled my old Carolla, I had no idea what was out there, and checked just about everything. The minute I got into the Echo it was great, and has stayed great for the last 2 years. Great car for the price, great reliability, no problems, great gas mileage (and I do a lot of stop-and-go traffic), and amazing amounts of space for such a small looking car! It has moved half my apartment, and stands up to LA traffic. I would highly recommend it.

  Echos got Zoom - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By wasabiJo - June 4 - 9:56 pm

  My little red Echo spoils me - incredible fuel economy, roomy interior, peppy attitude, and very durable (mine has been rebuilt twice from two accidents - I just didnt want to get rid of it). Ive used mine for zipping around town and cross-country trips (over 2,000 miles at a time), and hauling my junk to and from colleges for years. My friends (and some mechanics) think Im nuts when I say I plan to run this car into the ground before I buy another one. As long as you keep up with the regular maintenance, nothing short of a collision with a semi will destroy it.

  Too good to be true - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By John Green - April 12 - 2:33 pm

  I bought my "new" echo with 195k miles this year, it drives perfect. Its the second echo I own. I still regret that I sold my first one to my friend. I made 10k in about 5 months and have nothing to complain about. Im a mechanic and I would recommend it to everybody. I drive mostly in city and get 36 mpg. Highway around 44 mpg. Its the most reliable car you can get for your money. I bet it can last more than 300k miles (I will try it). I still have original clutch with over 200k, no leaks at all. First it was ugly but now its a pretty nice car, it takes time to get used to it. :)

  2000 Toyota ECHO 4dr - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By ECHO owner - March 31 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car new in the summer of 2000. Performance is great for such a small car. However, I am unhappy with the current resale value of my vehicle. Price when I first bought it, was well over $14,000 (got pretty much all the upgrades). I put $4,000 down, financed the rest for 4 years, and now, with a little more than 2 years left on the loan, I am about $100 away from being upside down on the loan! Of course, if youre considering this car used, itll be a great deal for you. Just dont get it new, like I did, because its value drops like a rock (probably because this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it cars).

  Love the car - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By loveit - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I just got my car a few months ago and I love it. I am a college student on a tight budget and was pleased with the price. Its a wonderful to drive, handles wonderfully. I have never had trouble with the handling of it in bad weather (not yet anyways). Great car for a first time byer.

  Im keeping it - 2000 Toyota Echo
  By farmlassie - October 14 - 9:00 am

  This car is absolutely wonderful! I have loved it from the day I bought it. We have had 3 minivans since we bought this car and I still prefer my ECHO. It is effected by the wind, but it is well worth it. With the price of gas it is a real asset to own. I would buy it again if I needed another car. It isnt the most comfortable on long trips, especially not having a right-arm rest for the driver. The safety is greatly appreciated.
