2002 Toyota Echo Start Up, Quick Tour, & Rev With Exhaust View - 137K

[@pedrof830]

Previous and current owners love this car, those who never have owned or even driven one, put it down and make fun of it.

[@mikeingersoll7344]

Yeah ok

[@alberto5147]

Exactly. The Echo is made by Toyota in Japan which means it's good quality. Only idiots like the person who made the video would call it "porquería".

[@ihsankhan1386]

we had change many cars like Honda Civic,Corolla,Lexus Rx 450,Prado,Premio,Axio etc in past 15 years but we still have our Toyota Echo 2002 Model back from 2005.We have it from last 15 years and driven around 400K Kilometers but still running like a champ but we have also repaired it multiple times..We consider it as our goodluck car because after this car our business got so good.

[@hugolopez3642]

This is the best car that I have ever owned it's better than other cars. In the 19 years , 200,000 miles, it's never been in the mechanic once, it's a champion in my book. I've had every make and model, they all have come and gone broken down but the echo it's still kicking assets........!!!!! Love this car to 💀

[@rachels594]

Amen ! Preach it Brother !!!!

[@capecodcuda]

My buddy just bought a 2000 echo for $1,600. With 130k automatic transmission ... had some rust on the hood, passengers fender & door ... a search online., I found several in junkyards for parts ... even a white one the same color as his so we didn't have to paint any parts we replaced. hood cost $36. fender $25. door $36. fuel door with hinge $5. Also grabbed some odds & ends like missing emblems extra fuses & bulbs. next he wants a wider set of aluminum wheels, 4x100 bolt pattern is a very common 4 lug bolt pattern. so, his search for a nice used set is plentiful. He loves cars that get good mpg, the echo gets 45 mpg highway 35 city. We drove 250 miles yesterday, to pick up his parts & the ech cruise at 80 miles on the highway with ease & is a comfortable ride. he's very happy with his purchase.

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

This is honestly the best car I've ever owned I don't know why you're telling these people that this car is mierda. Even during the time when it was in need of a replacement part or maintenance issue it still has never left me stranded anywhere and it's excellent on gas. One word very dependable.

[@rachels594]

I love my echo . This car IS NOT MADE LIKE CRAP. IT IS AWESOME. . I’ve had more than one mechanic tell me they don’t make cars this well anymore. So take that ! It is so fun and easy to drive. It uses space really well. It is comfortable. I live frugally and this car serves me well. I am thankful for this car, as it is a gift from mom who now resides in Heaven. I can’t watch this because you are too negative. I think it is amazing and so very economical for me who lives on a fixed retirement income. Mine is clean and looks beautiful for 20 years old. .

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

My echo is 23 years old now and all of the interior parts are still intact there's nothing sag in there's nothing broken the CD and tape still works everything works even air conditioning and heat. It's got a couple of things on one side but they're just cosmetic and not major. This is truly the best car I've ever owned . And it's great on gas.

[@samirizquierdo584]

Best car ever made. Like tanks. I have a 2004 goin' on 240k.

[@Hart_Daniel]

This guy hates on this car wayyy to much. My friend bought a 2000 echo almost three years ago with 200k on it. It now has 300k on it and the car is still going. Rust will kill it before she does. I give this car a thumbs up, I drive a big truck everyday and it burns a hole in my pocket paying for gas. I would take this car any day of the week.

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

I generally see 4 or 5 echo cars per week usually the 2000 through the 2002 models.. Also the reason you don't see them for sale often is because they're so dependable that people hold on to them. At this point this car is over 23 years old and still going strong. Honestly all you have to do is do your upkeep on schedule and take care of it is the excellent car and it will last you For years and years to come pegood a mechanic I recently talked to antoiota said he sees these cars when he does service them often over 300000 miles and I have read reviews where people have had them much longer than that period this is a great investment and it has a lot of kick to it With tons of storage space I can't recommend this car enough it's the most dependable car I've ever owned.

[@mattfloyd3347]

I got an echo with 225k miles. Had 80k when we got it. Haven't had to work on ANYTHING! Just maintain it and drive it. Love these cars

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

Because this in reality is the first generation Yaris.

[@Macsk8ing]

I'd be happy with this small car

[@spuddapotato2494]

Basta ya! Give these economy cars a chance man. You're reviewing an (at the time) 11 year old economy car - a car that was designed to be a cheap, reliable commuter appliance. It's like you are trying to compare this to a "S-class or BWM 7-series." Of course the interior is falling apart - every car that I've seen that is older than 10 years has one or two loose trim pieces - especially economy cars that were designed to be lightweight and cheap. Try to be a little more objective in your reviews and don't piss on a car because it's "plasticky." These old Echos were not "made like crap." They were economy cars and offered bulletproof reliability - many of them exceeding 300,000 miles with minimal repairs.

[@TheBean2p]

I have a 2001 5 speed echo/ 2 door. I have rear split seats and neat drawer under passenger seat on top of all the storage. As a previous Tercel owner, owned 2. One was stolen and the other couldn't get it aircared. However, Toyoto make solid cars/ trucks. I wouldn't drive anything else. My Echo had lots of power and cheap on gas. Yeah its a little small but its still a great vehicle.

[@TheBean2p]

Actually owned 3 tercels, forgot about my 89 hatchback . She was a gem, had to scrap her, only car I ever cried about losing. =(

[@JC-wb3ec]

TheBean2p I must concur. .. I've got a 2001 5 speed 4 door with 124000 miles and it runs sweet with great gas mileage. It's terrific for local driving. I'm not thrilled with it on the highway as it lacks power above 60 and I would hate to get in an accident in it as it would not provide any protection at all, especially if you got broadsided. The only other complaint I have is that it' so light that it is not at all safe on wet roads. It just slides over the top of the road when you hit the brakes and that's with full tread four season tires. Other than those two aspects it's a great, reliable sub compact.

[@thecriticalthinkeroutsidet4947]

FUN FACT: The Echo is actually the Yaris in disguise. This car really is the first-generation Toyota Yaris by real identity.

[@Ryo]

mine barely has over 50k miles even after all these years, it used to be my great grandmas car who bought it new but never drove it much, and when she died my grandma bought it from my great grandpa and i been driving it ever since, mostly only to work or friends house, the gas mileage on this thing is amazing!! who cares about looks when it drives like a dream!!!

It's just not an objectively good car. Extremely slow, low-quality interior materials and no amenities to note. Yes, they last forever, but any hunk of junk will if you take care of it. There's a reason you don't see these around anymore (or any 2000s cars for that matter).

[@91myroc]

This car was built to last and not any means by necessary to be flashy or expensive it has some of the Vintage Lexus cues towards the front but you can do so much with these cars and customize it anyway you want to and there is some upgrades for the engine for a little bit more "oomph"

[@TheDoncreation]

Seriously. You guys are talking crap about the car. It's not meant to be wowed at. It's a BASIC car. It supposed to seat 5 people comfortably, Very good on the gas. Truck space. and it requires all that. It's a economical car. So keep that in mind.

[@ShaunMMX]

We actually had the 2005 version of this car, it was actually alot better built than the 2002 model. Loved that little car, shamed we couldn't afford to keep it as it was taken back by the dealer ship, but oh well shit happens.

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

Hi, in what way would you say that 2005 version of the echo is better than the 2002? Can you give us some specific examples of that period thank you so much I love this car!

[@ShaunMMX]

@I am Talako (Gray Eagle In The Sky) well it was the refreshed model that looked better than the older models , and some interior bits looked better. Its rare to find one with power windows and locks and foglights, as this was an economy car so if you find one with those options a very rare find.

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

@ShaunMMX Thank you so much for that! In my 2000 that I have it has power locks manual windows and it has tape player &c D player all of which work in addition to heating air conditioning touch button trunk except a the only thing I don't have are the fog lights It's so strange though I almost never see the 2003 4 or 5 out and about. I commonly see the 200o 2001 and 2002 models any ideas as to why that is?

[@mr.boostang2064]

I like it. If I had this car I would replace the carpet to some thick vinyl matte for the floor and I would get vinyl seat covers to match. Those two things would make the car so much easier to clean after 2 months worth of work, fast food, and family.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

my buddy has a family of 4, he's 6'4" and a large guy. they've driven the stink out of it for 2 years now and havent had to do anything but brakes. they aren't anything fancy, but you get what you pay for... and for a cheap car, Echo's aren't too bad actually.

(10 year laters after you made this video) More than you think. You haven't really lived until you've driven an Echo esp stick. Best darn realiable older model cars EVER! Easy to repair and affordable even upgrade modernized if one would like. If the part fits it'll work. Just had a garage build part of the pressure steering hose and it good as new. Worth every penny imo. No glitter glam no distractions. Don't need a camera to back up for crying oat loud! Use your mirrors, turn your head to look like you should according to the driving law manual. Love ❤ the CD 💿 🎶 drive, also there's an mp3 option for your listening pleasures. Radio is simple to use tooo. Cigarette lighter is the phone charger and cash tray instead of yucky ashes. Spacious comfortable, fun to drive. You may even find a better appreciation on the road & driving among the newer models vehicles and its drivers. Remembering it is a privilege to drive not a right. Respect the Echo! I've had my beautiful shiny silver, well cared for inside & out Echo'05 five+ years and still going strong. 18+ years! PS your Spanish ties can go you know where to do you know what with themselves. Stupid translation! ECHO'ES were made to last 💪 Baffling why they were discontinued. OH wait! For Toyota to make more money. right. dah.
