2002 Toyota ECHO Sedan 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
it becomes your friend
 After 2 years I like the Echo as much as when I started with it. It responds quickly to steering inputs. It accelerates smoothly and strongly. Great turning radius and good visibility makes it so easy to park. Fuel economy is excellent. I agree that the car is not physically attractive, but that fades as an issue when you live with the Echo.
