Toyota ECHO Usados en Venta

This car gets great gas mileage and has been an excellent daily driver through the years. With minimal maintenance it has traveled on and on with only a couple of issues related to routine care. I love this car and would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I've had this car for seventeen year, and it's still a very reliable machine. It still gets better than average mileage (around 27 mph on streets; 35 mph on the highway). The car handles well and has a very impressive turn radius. The car does have a "unique" boxy look that some think is unattractive, but I (and other Echo owners) really like it. For a small car, it is surprisingly roomy, and has impressive trunk space. The view from the driver's seat is a bit higher than other cars, so it's nice to be able to see above some of the smaller vehicles on the road. My biggest complaints are that the engine is not as responsive as I would like (sometimes I have to literally put the pedal to the metal to accelerate quickly in order to get out of potentially dangerous situations), there are no power windows, and the headrests are big and bulky and actually impair my ability to see behind me or to check my blind-spots. Also, the odometer console is located in the center of the dashboard (between the driver and front passenger seats), rather than directly above the steering wheel, which takes some time to get used to. Overall, I'm quite happy with this car, and if Toyota still made the Echo, I would definitely consider purchasing another one the next time I buy a car.

My 2002 Toyota Echo has over 187,000 miles and the only problem I ever had was needing to replace the front wheel bearings at around 120,000 miles, which cost $250. It gets at least 30 MPG consistently and the manual 5-speed transmission is a perfect mate to the quick and efficient engine. The interior is very simple but highly functional and it has great visibility and can carry 5 people at once. The rear seats fold down so, even though it's not a hatchback, there's increased room for storage of long things from the trunk.
