2003 Toyota ECHO Sedan 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
Fantastic First Car
 This was my first car and also the vehicle that I learned how to drive in so needless to say it took a lot of beatings! It never fails to impress with great handling and much better power than you would expect from just looking at it. It handles corners well, no problem at all accelerating onto the freeway in the city or switching in/out of lanes in a hurry (the handling on this car has been a lifesaver in preventing accidents). I have the four door so while the backseat probably wouldn't fit two adults comfortable for a roadtrip, it's perfect for around town.     It's never required anything other than general maintenance and it's getting on 5 years old/162,000 m. Would definitely recommend!!
