Hey, nice car! I drive a 2000 Saturn SL2 with a stick shift. Guess what? I never have to take it to the shop. It starts up, every time and gets me from A to B. That's all that matters, eh. A car is a tool, that is my point of view. A Ferrari or a Bentley are nice to look at, but spend most of their life locked away. By the way, the earing in the hide-a-way spot was eye watering, such a dear memory. May you get many more miles out of your metal (and reliable) steed !

That scratch on the right side of your front bumper could be remedied with some touch up paint! It might not look as good, but it can help hide the black plastic scrapes. You can often get touch up paint from the dealer for 10-20 dollars, and they can match the paint colour with your VIN

Great video! Stumbled upon it. I had an 03 Black 2 door ECHO. I was set to get a dark green as that was my favorite color but at the time I didn't pull the trigger fast enough and someone already bought it so they got me the black one same model just different color. I was kinda in a pinch so I had to go with that. Don't regret it. Very reliable and got great mpg. I got well above the EPA. I get into the 40s even breach 50 sometimes. Of course the down side of being light is when it's windy it's hard to control. I had a love hate relationship with it meaning I'm a car guy so I thought it was boring but it never let me down. NEVER. As I've gotten older I appreciate it more and more. I moved on from that car since 2013 but I'm looking up ECHOs online. It's ironic cause when I was in the market for a car my coworker at the time suggested the ECHO. At first i was like, no it's ugly but then fell in love. I appreciate the pre-03 models now cause I love how it's quirky and different. I don't care what people say if it's a clown car, I like that lol. I have an 09 Yaris that has the same engine and serves me well but hasn't gotten me that great mileage the ECHO has. I'm guessing cause it weighs more and maybe gearing of the auto. My guess. But I've taken it on long trips. I bought it with 153k on it and I have 278k on it now. I hope to get to 300k at least, although it is burning oil. We'll see!! Thanks for the video! I love that color!! Kinda jealous!!!

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story about your echo. It’s really funny to look up old commercials on them as well. Yes, this little baby is so reliable. The only thing is the air conditioner is an issue recently. I think we’re just going to drive the other car when it’s really hot and maybe not put money into it this year. But I can’t imagine selling this car yet. I think it’s just under 110,000 miles right now.😁. I always thought the black looked really nice. My son told me to paint mine, black, and put flames on the sides. 😂. But I was reading about painting cars and they said it’s best to stay with the original paint. And the other thing is this is a garage kept car so that keeps it really clean. And I do like the color. Thanks again for sharing.☺️🚙
@rowsdower125 ай бұрын
@@rachels594 I would keep it or I can buy it from you lol. Because the simplicity of the ECHO it's extreamly reliable and that's what I liked about it. I did get an aftermarket stereo system in it, it was nice. But yeah that's the charm if you can live in a minimalist car with out all the fancy stuff. Cars these days i feel are going to be not as reliable in the long run due to the complicated engines and features. Time will tell!
@rowsdower125 ай бұрын
@@rachels594 I would personally keep that color. It's unique and not many cars are that color. As far as the bumper you could go to the dealer and order spot paint where you can brush over the spots and it will sorta match. You will notice it's a spot job. Obviously nothing like the original but at least won't stick out as much. I would sand and clean that area first, make sure it's dry then spot paint it. They would know the color code for it. Or you can look up the color code and tell them the VIN number

I wish I could give this video a thousand likes! 👍👍👍 I still remember fondly my 2000 Echo - almost exactly the same as yours, only mine was a Snow White. She was a great friend, caring and reliable, served me well for a number of years, and when the time came to move on to my next car, it went to a lady like you who immediately fell in love with it - and having driven the Echo for a couple of months, that lady send me a heart-felt thank you letter. So, I guess my Snow White found a new loving home... leaving me fondest memories and a bunch of good pictures.

Thank you for your lovely comment. That is a beautiful story about “ Snow White” and the thank you note . Yes, 3 years after this video she is still running faithfully. Just the a/c needs attention. But we have a newer vehicle and this is now our back up car . The mileage is still ridiculously low - like 109,000 or somewhere around that. I can’t believe I’m driving the same car now retired they my parents drove when they were retired. And thank you for a thousand likes 😁👍👍👍
