I've owned the 2000 and the bought a 2005 and still have it. I've worked it hard lugging stuff over a tall hill three times a week. It has 140000 milage. Just had to replace two sets of bearings and had the brakes done. Had to have new engine mounts. Besides normal maintenance running good. The engine has alot of wobble vibration as most older toyotas do. Still average about 29mpg. Use it now for jaunts around town. I wish this model was still in production. The new Yaris models all have Mazda engines and will never live this long. My friend in Mexico tells me they are everywhere with some going over 300000 miles. Its a great car for visibility and tall people as the interior is shaped like an egg. The mechanics love it as repair access is easy. I have noticed that the car does wear through tires a little sooner than expected.

yours is in way better condition than mine. I have the same one but in grey, the paint is in really bad condition. But works well for a car that's about to hit 400k miles on it. Those manual trans hold well.

@@pablobruise1388 power steering was optional. my echo coupe does not have power steering. its so light that it doesn't really matter much unless you're at speed though.
