2002 Toyota ECHO Coupe 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
Great Mileage, Powerful, Unique
 The engine in this car is hot. It out 
accelerates the Ford Focus ZX3 (130 hp 
engine) I used to have, and gets 38 mpg 
vs the 25 mpg the ZX3 automatic got. 
The airconditioner is plenty cold. The 
ride is smooth and quiet up to 80mph. 
The suspension is more like a sports 
car - compliant but firm, with grippy 
tires (the 175's stick pretty darn 
good). The only quality control issue 
is a tiny wind whistle on the driver's 
side at high speeds - otherwise, famous 
Toyota quality at a bargain price.
