Toyota echo
The Toyota Echo never won any prizes for its beauty of sportiness, though its owners often share experiences of a car that's proven fuel-efficient, reliable and well suited to everyday life.This weird-looking little economy car enjoyed a successful life before it was kicked out of the brand's model lineup and replaced by the Yaris in 2006. Depending on the year in which you're searching, you'll find Echo available with a two-door, four-door or hatchback body configuration.No surprises were pulled under the hood, and power was handled by a teensy 1.5 liter engine with a touch over 100 horsepower. Gas mileage is expectedly miserly. If you're only using an Echo as a second car for the family when the SUV isn't required, you'll probably only visit the gas station a few times a month.Shifting gears was a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual, with the latter recommended to extract the most fun-to-drive factor from the car.Though Echo's horsepower numbers look meager, the car weighed only a little over 2000 pounds- meaning it'll move along just fine when requested. Expect mileage in the neighborhood of 6 liters per 100 kilometers if you're on top of maintenance and tune-ups.A standard CD player, 14-inch steel wheels with covers and tilt steering to make their way into the interior features list. Echo's cabin was decidedly different looking- almost futuristic in its own way. Owners chatting online generally gush about their Echo's fuel consumption levels, funky interior styling, storage compartments and good the tall driving position which allows for a great forward view of the road. Others talk about low maintenance costs- a positive attribute which is backed up by very few common reliability issues. Toyota builds small cars very well, and this one seems no exception.
