2004 Toyota Echo Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by david_wellings1
Member4795
Fuel economy
I find the fuel economy to be very satisfactory. I only drive in the city and I refuel about once every 3 weeks.
Safety & braking
Braking is good.
Price or payments
I bought my Echo used and I felt like I got a fair deal.
Reliability & durability
When I bought the car it hade just come off its initial 5-yr lease and was in very good condition. After owning it for a year the condition is unchanged. Other than oil changes and tune ups it has not required any service.
Brand reputation & image
I got a an Echo hatchback(which is available here in Canada) and I think it is attractive for an economy car. As far as the brand, Toyota Echos have a good reputation for reliability and durability, which I have found to be true so far.
Quietness
You have to turn the radio up if you want to hear it when you are driving on the highway.
Audio & nav systems
Audio is fine, but there is no nav system, so if you want that you are out of luck(personally I prefer to use a map).
Discounts & incentives
There were none. However, the price was reasonable, so I am happy with my purchase.
