2000 Toyota ECHO Coupe 2dr Coupe
Amazingly reliable
 I've had this car for 4 years, just 
hit 72,000 miles, and love it.  I've 
used it for everything from in-town 
commuting (tight turning radius and 
tiny spots it can fit into are 
key) to driving from Boston to San 
Fransisco nonstop (the front passenger 
seat makes a suprisingly comfy bed).  
Obviously, the 42-44mpg (highway) is 
great.  It has more than adequate 
acceleration, and 
managed the mountains on I-80 just fine 
at 75-80mph (although some downshifting 
was needed).  The best part for me is 
that since I do routine maintaince 
myself, and it hasn't needed any 
repairs AT ALL except for replacing a 
burned-out taillight bulb, it's been 
dirt cheap to operate.
