2002 Toyota Echo
Great First Car - Lovely little car, great gas mileage, perfect first car! Handles really well, and great in the snow. I rarely get stuck. High enough off the ground so you don't bottom out often. Seating is comfortable. One dislike is that there is no RPM meter so you have to base shifting on how the engine sounds. Easy to drive.
Pros: Great in the snow, never get stuck
Spacious back seat
Shifts smoothly
Great gas mileage (approx. 40MPG)
Cons: Low HP, takes a lot to speed up

Love This Car. - This car handles very well on the road and I have always felt safe driving this car. Durable and trustworthy and toyotas seem to lat forever. Would highly recommend this car to any one looking for smaller car. Also very fun to drive.
Family transportation
Great gas mileage. Very comfortable and you sit high where most smaller cars you sit low. Very roomy for a small car. Repair costs no more than any other car I have owned. Large trunk.
Cons: No power windows .
Dude, great video and car looks to be clean and in excellent shape. I've had my 2004 Echo for 13 years and I hate it cause its so uncool, but I love it to death cause it's cheap on gas, nearly no repairs and I haven't had a car payment SINCE FOREVER.
Great comment. There's something about this car. I hate it and love it at the same time. I'm at about 8,000 miles now, since I got it, and 100% worked. 100% solid. Love it.
Glad to hear it is working for you. If you'd like to see my Echo check my channels videos from 2006...probably Last Christmas would be the best but I used my car in all my earlier vids.
Bought my 2000 Echo new... still own it. Have 120,000 + miles on it, but it's taken 18 years to wear out front end bushings and a rear shock. Almost time to replace motor mounts. A bit expensive, having all these bits "die" at the same time, but, once all fixed, good for another 18 years, right? Turn the key, and it goes. Best car I've every owned.
its cool because it weight 2000 lbs. So light!
@@rumblemonkey4542 toyotas man. Good stuff
You are being disrespectful to your car. It's a fantastic ride. I have a 2002 with 307k miles. Treat your car well. Good ones don't come along often. It was made in Japan - big plus. Easy to fix yourself. Tons of aftermarket parts. 35 mpg in suburbs. Inexpensive to insure and register. No complicated electronics to break. It is what a car should be.
Ok Greggo
finally, someone treating old cars the way it should be treated.
I have a 2001. Plan on it being my forever car. I forgot to lock it one night and a homeless man slept in it. Left all my pennies, but took the quarters. 10/10 will never sell.
I live in Mexico I have a toyota echo 2001 with 450000 miles the best car
Dude, Not a beater! Protect the Echo, they are such a good reliable, fun vehicle. Very low maintenance cost & very peppy.
Agreed
great car i had one with 260,000 my wife crash it two weeks ago just got another one today 1/13/19
@@hugolopez3642 you still got your echo??
@@chimasolomon817 my wife crashed the car last year I got another one now bought it 3 months later after I lost my baby echo. Will for ever be remember I 😭 when my wife crashed it my wife is more important so I'm happy he is resting now
@@hugolopez3642 sorry about that taught you still had it I didn't mind fixing it
This is what cars are supposed to be about. Point A to B decently. As little as you can spend on a car the better. Good score. A friend of mine had someone abandon a Mid 2000's pickup on his property and after two years he finally decided to try and acquire it. He was forced to do an auction and nobody came to bid on it so he managed to aquire for around $500 in back due fees and another $500 in tires. A new battery, plugs wires, etc and in total he's spent less than $1500 on it. It's a 4 wheel drive v6 so I consider that a good score. Only thing wrong was passenger side door had a good size ding in it, but he's got a replacement door from the wrecking yard, same color just needs to swap it out. That was only $25.
That car is in great shape for its age. Too nice to be a “beater” take care of it and keep it clean. As time goes on and Echo’s, especially clean ones get harder and harder to find, it will be nice to have.
I hear you. Lucky to have it.
@@rumblemonkey4542 Useful video, but your calling it a "beater," is kind of rough. I guess you have never owned a true "beater." But useful video. Also, lock your doors when you're parked. You aren't immune to theft just because you live on a good-looking block.
Bought this car for $800 from a nice Preacher man today, gave him $900 for the appreciation. All it needs is a tail light and the mechanic checked it out saying it was a solid car. 2002 echo black!
Toyota Echo is a great car! I have a 2005 Toyota Echo Hatchback (Canada Only) manual transmission, bought it back in 2010 at 70,000 km (43,000 miles) on it. I now have nearly 200,000 km or (125,000 miles) and the engine, also transmission is running like new, I've been using synthetic oil over the last 5 years and there isn't a single drop of oil leaking or burning. It is not the most comfortable, however it is one of the most reliable vehicles out there :)
My girlfriend bought one new in '02. We just got it back from her elderly father. I love it, and I now drive it to work instead of my F150.
Do you BACK it in to every parking space, too? Nah. F150 drivers can actually manage to pull nose-in, and back out. Cranky. Should not have said that. Sick of gigantic SUV's and pickups backing in, in huge, easy parking lot spaces. Sorry.
very underrated car! treat that beauty well! that car is one of my personal favorites I adore how it looks and I love everything about it!
Couldn't agree more!
I have a 2001 with 376,000 and still going
Wow amazing, I just bought one for $1000 245,000 miles
Me too
Omg! LONG LIVE YOUR 2001!! IT GIVES ME HOPE W my 2000 at 220,000
360,000 on mine so far
@@blubird1601 Just keep doing your oil change and use fully synthetic oil like mobile 1
I have a 2002 Echo as a pizza delivery car, 280k on the odometer and still goin’ strong. I love it!
Absolute perfect pizza delivery car.
Manual or auto?
whiskey ace auto. Funny, I just donated it yesterday. Final count was 293k on the odometer. I only retired it because it cannot pass emissions. If I were willing to put more money into it I’m sure it would do another 100k. Instead I replaced it with an 06 Prius. These little cars have soul, they’re amazingly resilient.
@@AndyJames88 just found one with under 100k miles
@@whiskeyace398 nice! got mine with 109k, and that was hard enough! under 100k!? stylin :P
God that is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen ! How dare you call that a beater.
Agreed!
I know. This is what a car should be. What an attitude this guy has.
@@gregnixon1296 I'm glad you mentioned the attitude. I thought it was just me being cranky. Either this guy has too much money, or he wants everyone to think so. No way has he ever driven a car held together by duct tape - good quality cloth duct tape - but duct tape. "Beater." Pissed me off.
The Air Vents do move from side to side, you grab the center and twist the Vents, but the base in the center doesn't move... I got a 2003, I bought last year, and I Love it!!!
My 2002 Echo automatic 4-door has 288k miles. Fantastic car. 35 mpg in city. You can replace the instrument cluster lights for $5 in 10 minutes. Very easy task. Oil every 5k miles. I use a high mileage synthetic blend.
Tell me how, PLEASE ??? The bulbs must be burned out in my 2003, because I cannot see how fast I am going & how much gas I have at night, no lights come on...also, can't see what gear, that area does not light up either....PLEASE HELP....I am trying to use the bulbs & pieces I need in a 2003 Toyota Echo, I just bought to replace my 2001 that "someone" borrowed one night, WITHOUT my permission , & TOTALED it ! 😥 Before I have it towed away, I want to change these things out, please, if you can help me, I will be most GRATEFUL 🥀
Also, how to unplug the clock & IF I can hook it up in the 2003, there is no clock in it, only a "cubby hole" where clock goes ??
I have a 2002 4-door. Try wiggling the trunk release left or right. Watch for rain water getting in the trunk. My friend has one 300k and it won't die.
Off-hand, would you buy a 2002 4-door with 190,000 miles for $1,000? Anyway, glad you mentioned the water in the trunk. I wouldn't have pulled things to see. I wonder why the car I'm to look at has no radio at all. I have to find the specifications on this car.
My Echo 2021 Car has been under water (rain water) and never stopped. It has never been broken down. I drove it from Tijuana to Sacramento CA round trip. Its acceleration remains the same and fun. Now my son uses it to go to college. I'm still amazed
Bought a used 2010 Yaris came with 15 in tires and it is very stable on the highway. I also love it.
I have a 2002 also. 140,000 miles. Same water pump. AC and heat work great. By far the best car I've ever owned.
You still have it?

I’ve had my uncool Toyota echo 1.3L for 10 years now. 320,000km (200,000 miles). Great on fuel.......you can get kits from ebay to convert the winding windows to electric.....oh and I have the original clutch in mine
These last a long time since they were made in Japan
Haha cool little story. Funny enough here in a few days I'm picking one up from my great aunt. She doesn't drive anymore and is gifting it to me. Killer part not only is it free (minus plates) it only has 21000 miles on it! My current car is an Audi A4 with 200k it has electrical issues and battery dies almost every time I go to use it. (Bad alternator as well I think). Plan to drive this while repairing my Audi. Looks like it will be a very nice car and will be essentially brand new which is awesome for a 26 year old I'll have that thing into my 40s I reckon.
They don’t make cars like this anymore. Lock her up and take care of her. NOT A BEATER CAR.
I have a 2001 that’s in better condition because it’s been given Love. My vents turn sideways and up and down and my CD player works , not the cassette , that just quit about a year ago. Mine is a 4 door and I will be making a video in the near future. Because we need a fresh new Echo you tube video !!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ THIS CAR! Not to mention I’m still under 100K miles. Had it inspected in January and the mechanic said.” Wow, it’s rare we find nothing wrong”. So YES.
Beater? It’s a good car. I’d take good care and of it, sell the Fit and put that $ away. Drive that Eco 10+ years and 400k.
djkenny it's not very attractive though
Stay Sideways the fit is uglier. The echo at least has a unique ugly design. I like it for that lol
Area559Duh honestly i would like the car more of the speedometer was infront of the wheel
It will grow on you, it's never obstructed by the steering wheel (feature/benefit). BTW, it has a "distinctive" look, not ugly. Ugly is such a harsh term.
Anthony Xavier Wouldn't call it a lambo, but I don't think it's ugly, it has its own unique look
The best car ever I got one the same Year and I love it...
Love it
Have had 2 of them, most reliable rigs I have ever had in 32 years . Current one has 225k, only oil changed in 2 years
There’s not enough to be said about the maneuverability of these cars. You can usually work your way around any construction zone, or a small turning area. They’re not lookers, that’s for sure, but they will get you to work and the store and back. Also, they are great for small parking spaces, and you can park where a lot of big cars can’t. If you’re wondering about headspace, there’s plenty, more than you would think. And gas mileage can’t be beat.
They’re not luxurious, and the ride can be a bit bumpy, but they were built to run and run, with minimal maintenance.
My echo is 2000stick shift . It has 221,000 miles AND I'm still driving it.
Love that!
I bought a 93 ranger in highschool with bad clutch. Fixed it still driving it 30 yrs later. 400 dollars what I paid.
I have a 2001 Toyota Platz .The engine volume is 1 liter automatic transmission. Excellent car mileage 315,000 km. I go every day.
Privet! I want a boxy lada

Here in in Britain, I have been running the hatchback version of this known as the Yaris or in Japan as the vitz. For the last 2 years of ownership it's been a peach, mine is a Base version with no power locks or windows, no A/C but at least it has ABS and power steering. Also living not far from London which has low emissions zone (ulez) it's ulez compliant. My Yaris is only a 1.0 16 valve engine with vvti, but fuel economy is fantastic and it will take 3 hours on the freeway at 70mph with no issues. All this for £600.
I've got one exactly like yours except it's a 5 speed. It's got to have a timing chain soon. Amazon has the entire kit for around $ 75. I'm ordering one myself. They are fun to drive. I put one of those balls on my steering wheel on the lower left. With the rack and pinion you barely move your hand. Also I put one of those extra wide curved mirrors on it. It clamps over and Amazon has them for around 10. Worth every penny. Take care. Craig from Alabama
I don't know what is wrong with your vents but my vents go up, down, left, right and they close completely....and my echo is a 2001. And you are right, they are very easy to park just about anywhere.
Mine is 2003, and I am the first and only (and probably the last) owner. The first time it gave me a problem was last year May, at the young age of 19 :-) when it broke down and the alternator had to be changed. My fault, the battery light kept coming on (and off) for about 5 weeks! I went to one of the stores to check if there was any code but there was none. I planned to take it to the service but it was late. My Echo passed the inspection every year (20 times by now, and I am planning to keep it as long as it lasts. I am in the market for the new Toyota (Corolla Hybrid probably), but this will be my back-up car.
I got a free Toyota echo too! I'm working on it right now trying to find fix it videos lol
Last year I got a 2000 Echo 5-speed with 71,300 miles!! I paid half of what you paid for a car with half the mileage & I got the 5-speed manual. (I think the automatic is scary for its lack of initial acceleration whereas you can keep a manual in gear up to the redline, if you knew what redline was.) The people had just parked it & it had 400 miles on it in the last 10 years per the oil change sticker. It cost me $700 including tax title & license. I work at a job where I overheard them saying they were going to give the little car to some charity, so I butted in. I gave them $600 for the troubles. It had a chargeable battery which died soon thereafter. I got a new cheap 1 yr Walmart battery, new wipers, engine air filter & cabin air filter. I used Chevron Techron fuel injection cleaner the first chance I could with my first full tank of gas. It passed state vehicle inspection. I've only put 3,700 miles on it in the 1.5 years. I just did synthetic engine oil with an upgraded Fram oil filter, synthetic gearbox oil & I'm getting ready to replace the front pads with Ceramics & bleed It with synthetic brake fluid. I installed 2 new fan belts. & I will do 4 new spark plugs soon (& the coolant & radiator hoses in the spring as it tests ok now). I bought 4 used tires that are 185/65 cuz I couldn't find the right size. The hubcaps were all brittle & broke apart, so I bought replica ones for about $60 that I haven't mounted yet . The EPA on it is 41 / 34. I've never gotten less than 35mpg & it's almost all City mileage, but no traffic jams to speak of. I wonder what it MPG it will get on a long trip with all the synthetic lubricants now; I bet it will approach 45 mpg. This car actually has a slightly better repair record that the Camry! I have a 2000 & even though it's the first year, it is almost flawless. You say it's discontinued, but the Yaris is basically the same vehicle (with the same engine?). It's got a 1.5 Liter as does your Honda Fit. Prior to the Echo there was a 1.5 Liter in the Paseo & the first Scion XB cute little Boxy Thing that was so quirky also had a 1.5 Liter & got extraordinary mileage for a something that was almost small van size (you could get a 5 spd manual). Anyway if you look on autolist for Echos, most have at least 175,000 miles & a nice price, so they hold their value. I'm going to enjoy this car. It's not really my beater; I'm going to hold on to it for a long time & may not buy a second car. The clearcoat paint job is frazzled, a factory silver paint flaw (or from being parked 9 years in the Louisiana sun), so that's 1 less thing to worry about & it only has 2 small dents by the LF fender well. It's "ugly," but extraordinary! I wish it had cruise control & I think I would still like power mirrors & power windows, although I'm tall enough where I can reach over & crank the window without much difficulty, & it's too bad the little real windows are fixed. I wish they were pop out (or motorized). Unfortunately a long trip without cruise control might put your right leg to sleep. Enjoy!!
Agreed!
I rather have a Toyota Echo than a BMW , Benz, or Audi.
Exactly. I have no worries about it.
Have you owned a Benz yet?
Benz is trash it only has a name and style but It does same job for u
@@a01user46 Not a 1959 Benz. That was my dream car. I wanted the genuine wood dash.
I was also given an Echo for free from a family member mine had a bit of a rough past I got the car from my aunt who neglected it she told me everything was good to go on the car turns out that wasn’t true within 5 months of my ownership I had to invest in new spark plugs and coil plugs even the serpentine belt and I’m still not done with the car the car was given to me with 84,000 miles I now put almost 92,000 miles on it and I am going on three years of my ownership. I love the car but it hasn’t been well taken care of and I’ve been working on it constantly I even had to put a new mass airflow sensor on it because the old one was bad never replaced. I mean my echo hasn’t missed a beat since I’ve been investing in new parts and installing them but the car has been good to me overall. A part of me wants to keep it but at the same time I should let it go because a Toyota shouldn’t give me problems like I had until I started sinking thousands into it.
I want that car so much and you got a great deal on it!
Agreed!
The echo is still around, after it was discontinued, they brought it back in 07 I think, it's just called the yaris, this is actually the second time this happened, in 98 Toyota discontinued the turcell and brought it back as the echo In 2000
Agreed!
2000 echo best car I ever owned. owned cars since 1960. my son has a 2014 yaris and its a great car also. you run the defroster to defog in the winter. car is light less than 2100lbs has good power 109hp so power to weight ratio is good. economy is great. reliability is great. basic transport. modern model T. lots of headroom and easy to get in and out without banging your head on the doorpost.paid 13k for it new.
the vents do go side to side, they must be stuck on your car... Also, clean the seat belts, the slipperier they are the easier they retract. You can find videos on this.
fyi, the vents do turn left and right - the middle piece inside does move - give it another try
Those air vents do twist to the sides you just gotta grab them and pull it to the side
I put mine through so much abuse and it just keeps on ticking
You can compare car stats by timing them at marked intervals and comparing the times. Most or all cars have basic stats published anyway such as 0 - 60mph.
I want an Echo. I am a learning driver and will have to share a car with my brother. I have money saved up but still want a inexpensive car so I have money left over for insurance, maintenance, etc. I like Toyota's for their reliability. The car I drive now is my mom's old 2001 Toyota Rav4. I like to drive that since it is smaller and I feel better getting around cars parked on the side of the road. I also don't have to worry about it getting dented up because it already has a few dents in it.. That being said, I don't want to get any dents in it but it is okay if that happens. But anyway, great video!
Good luck. Good ones are getting hard to find, and they tend to sell quickly if one comes on the market. Scion xA is a nice little car as well.
toyoscio yeah. I probably have enough money to buy a cheap one but I wouldn't have a place to park it as of now since the driveway is small and parking on the street isn't allowed. I did find one in my area on cargurus for around $3,000. It looked like it was in nice condition but too much for me to afford right now.
I have put 7,000 miles on this since I took ownership. Not 1 problem. Thing accelerates like it's a rocket. However, it gets tossed in the wind like a leaf.
AnythingWithWheels360 haha! I bet! This echo is a pretty small car.
Brendan Leonard. That's too bad, Maybe things will change one day and you'll be able to own one and have a place to park it.
I’m about to buy one for $3700 with only 100K miles on it 😁 I just wanted something cost effective and reliable and this is it!
If you don't want people stealing your stuff, lock your car.
Hey, it's a TH-cam genius! Yes, because no one has ever broken into a car before that was locked. Thanks for the wisdom.
Around here they’ll break the window. Better to leave it unlocked than the cost to replace that.
Good car
I have been trying to trade mine for a Saab 9-3 for the longest time. Nobody wants it. Even if I offer cash on top. It's been a fun car and saved me ⛽. Seems like I can here the Echo of there foot steps as they run from a nice deal.
Looks to be an adorable efficient to n from work car. I miss seeing those compact cars that're fuel efficient and easy to park. Sadly compact cars like this one are becoming difficult to find. You've got a car that'll last longer than most cars on the road today, so plan on keeping it for as long as you can. Great video of something we all enjoy seeing, well to those of us that enjoy driving compact cars
Agreed!
Yeah. It's it a crock of shit with the feds and everybody "concerned" about the environment but they won't prohibit the manufacturing of those gigantic SUVs and non-work pick-up trucks. What a (bad) joke.
I have absolutely same Toyota right now, I mean color and AT, yeah it only have 4 speed, but if you don’t break 80 mph it will be doing fine, also I have 4 doors, another sensor Radio with USB and AUX, also having Electric Clocks, which is quite good addition, yeah Trunks sometimes hard to open from the car. But you know what this is Real Toyota, which will serve fine for a looooong time, for it’s price it’s a perfect car with AT, power steering wheel and AC. I have 194000 km on her and she is feeling great.
Yup, it's great!
Not bad for a 22 year old car, but they’re not the bestest shape after all, also pretty good cleaning.
I had a similar issue with the trunk lever not working and I had to get a whole used pull lever and spring cable assembly out of a junkyard echo at my local pick n pull. Had a mechanic do his magic and it worked. He did warn me that it may go out of wack again in the near future. Or i think the tensioner broke something like that.
I just bought a 2002 echo automatic. Going through all the echo videos learning as much as i can. Looks like it will be easy to fix. I need to replace stereo and spark plugs. Super easy stuff. I 've never owned such a small car. Haha
Love it
I had a 2 door 03. I bought new. Had it for 10 years. I had a love hate relationship with it. Boring but very very reliable and cheap. I've gotten upper 40s in it. Crazy. You are correct, it's a very light car. Yes, lighter than the Fit. The second gen Fit has about 10hp more than the echo but of course heavier
Agreed!
Why did you hate it?
this car has a very cool hiddent feature noteven people in the toyota know that . i wont tell it to anyone . i hope u lucky to discover it in your period of owning the car
The trunk release can be fixed by bending a rod near the trunk key latch. Play with it.
If you have a helper, have them lift the trunk release lever while you are back there inspecting it with a flashlight. I was able to figure out what the problem was and I installed a zip-tie on the braided cable the opens the trunk
Sometimes, if you wiggle the lever back and forth, it will catch it right, and open right up.
@2:42 shut the vent and then twist. Figured it out!
the Toyota Echo was replaced with the Yaris. Both cars are hard to kill. The neighbor kid down the street has a 2007 Toyota Yaris that is riced out. He beats the hell out of that car. It still runs strong after 4 years of daily abuse. He's done burnouts and manually shifting from L to 2nd to Drive banging it off the rev limit 😂
They are tough as nails, that's all i'm going to say.
That intro is A1
Agreed!
Best cars ever! I have a Toyota Yaris 2004, 5 speed manual, almost the same as your car, but even smaller! :D
Very nice!
Also you can get tires at Pep Boys for $42.00 with a 40k warranty
The ventilation vents in dash don't turn your right but they can be tilted left or right and up and down.
Agreed!
I would certainly not consider that car a beater---beaters are rusty junk, and that car is in nice shape overall. Echos will last for 300K or more if taken care of, the problem is that people rarely do
Agreed!
This is going to be my first car
This thing really scoots around like magic.
I’ve got a 2002 Toyota echo hatch similar to yours but I’ve got a digital display and it’s a manual. But if u want a really cheap first car there is nothing better in my opinion
You don't say, I love this car" multiple times in a video if it is a beater. Simple, basic, practical, plain...many things but not a beater. Living in the suburbs, 2 other vehicles and doing 45 in a 25? You are luckier than you even realize. Okay, I'm done. Best wishes.
You actually can move the vents side to side. I have the sedan version and it’s a beast #shebuilt
Yeah, I tried and can't
i had a car like that, i dont remember the vents swinging up and down only ... they rotated on mine ...
Yeah I've tried and tried thats what they do.
at 4:44 you earn the like !
I might get myself one of those. I'm looking at the 2019 RAV4 but I want a beater car to not always have to worry about the 2019 all the time. I have a 2011 RAV4 and it got wacked by two doors within a year and the paint is flawless and those like lines annoy the shit out of me
Hello I’m in Missouri too . Please how does it go during the snow
u don’t lock the car because there’s nothing u care about about. but u hate the fact that someone stole change out of it? then lock it. it shouldn’t matter anyway it’s not hard to just lock it
All wrong all.
Japanese cars go forever
Agreed!
hey are great cars
100%.
Bro, my air vents turn sideways just fine. Yours are probably just stuck.
Agreed!
Good car but doesn't have ABS. Be safe out there. My sister had one and went in to a ditch on one rainy day.
I hear ya
Im trying to get one with a lift kit and maybe some monster truck tires. I wanna destroy Hondas :3
Why get a beater car when your main car is a Honda Fit?
alignment is off
you can drive this car for 10 hours straight with no problems
Agreed!
Rare coupe Toyota .
Yup
BTW those vents in my Yaris can be moved up down side to side..
But do you love your little car? JK, yes, beater cars a great for point A to B driving with little of no worries of dents, scratches, wear n' tear, etc. I'm sure this car could easily go 300K with little maintance and repairs. I mean its a 4 cyl Toyota for crying out loud! I honestly didn't know they ever made any cars w/o the speedo/ODO/Gauges right above the steering wheel - that would some getting used to. Looks odd to just have a dash there.
300K!!! I sure hope so!
Seen one with 530k. The 1.5 and Aisin transmission are bulletproof
Probably made it easier for the factory to switch to right-hand drive vehicles for other markets. Just leave the gauges in the same place.
Why you start to making HD instead of 4K?) I remember your video, you told you prefer the best quality your camera can give you;)
I don't know if this is the case but I heard 4k takes up a lot more storage space.
I will do the full 4K if I feel like it's worth the long upload and render times. Surprisingly this video is kinda popular.
I need to know how to unplug the clock in a 2001 Toyota Echo, and IF/ HOW to put it into my 2003 Toyota Echo, please ??
I donno
Thank you for driving this I got really suprised when I saw that it can actually go pretty fast I have a toyota echo in my backyard and I'm looking into getting it repaired will you make a video on tips and tricks?
I have the car in storage now.
@@rumblemonkey4542 oh ok are you looking to get rid of it?
@@jacobjones1030 Yeah we would probably sell it now. We are in the Oklahoma City area
@@rumblemonkey4542 oh I am from tennesee I could possibly drive over there sometime with a buddy of mine how much are you looking to get out of it?
Why are you selling it. Just need the dough, or ?
Coupe exclusive to NA
My dad has this car now he sold it because he hates the body shape and he hates the interior and now he bought a camry 2007
I don't have a old car but, my car is a cheap Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback 2022. It's was so cheap I play it off within 1 year. Not bragging or anything it's one of the cheapest car in American brand new so no bragging here. It's not like a porches 911. My car has a all mighty 78 horsepower engine so no it's my new beat up car.
I have a Lexus currently but I want a beater for working UberEATS. I love echos because they are dirt simple, reliable and cheap. The only issue is the manual windows. So I'm thinking about one of this or a 2000 corolla. One thing echo is better than corolla is gas mileage. Hard pick huh?
Not really. Corollas of that vintage, many of them, have excessive oil usage, which was not remedied until 2003, 2004 to be on safe side.
@@toyoscio so you suggest echo from that time?
@@lancelaw760 YES ECHO even has the same and possibly more room then that Gen Corolla
@@toyoscio thank you so much. I'm so glad you saying that because echo is my favorite of those two. I used to watch top gear car show. They used to have a cheap Suzuki Liana (SX4 in US) for guests to test their speed. I love that car so much but having a used Suzuki in US is not a good idea, so I pick something like that but from Toyota. Echo is ugly(just my opinion. It actually looks okay), slow(actually it's surprisingly fast) and makes me feel like it's crashing at corners. I just love that so much.
@@lancelaw760 You're welcome. Glad to hear. It is a really good car that tends to not be for sale for long
Bro we were doing roofing in a house and we asked how much the owner wanted and she said she’ll give to us for free so we got the same car for free
can a 6 ft 4 person sleep in this if you remove the front passenger seat and the rear seats? I would extend in to the trunk
😁😁😁😁nice car but why didn't you just get a new radio if your CD player doesn't work😁😁😁
Add it to the long list
then fix it, i fix all the little things that's what i like about used cars
Try to put a new alarm system in that car.
Or just lock the friggin' doors.
Put tint dude that will be better
