How does the Toyota echo do in deep snow?

2003 Toyota echo in about 4-6 inches of snow. Excellent snow cruiser. Strongly recommend.

[@rachels594]

I love driving my echo on the snow ❄️!

[@kt-df2ww]

Hello greetings ☺️

[@LB-ll7kb]

Visited Nicaragua and rented a Toyota Echo, drove it everywhere, country side dirt muddy roads, highway, no issues at all, love the car. On the other hand, I rented a Honda Fit, and it didn't do as well as the Toyota Echo.

[@ethantravers5184]

i have an echo and i once passed an f150 that was stuck in 5 inches of snow going uphill. best car ever

[@AIDAHAR210]

I bet because any vehicle that is really high off the ground won't do too good in snow

[@LeonMortgage]

This was my question before buying lmao. Can't thank you enough for this 🙏

[@TippaketThammavong]

My very first car was an Echo and I absolutely LOVED it! Never had issues in the snow either! My next car, a Yaris on the hand, was an entirely different story in the winter.

[@vintagearcade377]

I also drive a yaris in winter, I agree the yaris needs minimal all seasons for the winter. I suspect because its too light in the front ( with it mini hood) maybe the echo does great because of batteries down low? Real test would be icy intersections and some hills though.

[@zacharyreynolds4303]

i thought they were mechanically pretty much the same

[@beerburritos]

I love my 03 echo. Easy to fix too, I got in a fender bender recently and broke my bumper cover, headlight, and fender. Insurance cut me a check for 2500 and I fixed the body myself for about 300 dollars and 2 hours of work. Much easier to manage than a lot of other vehicles

[@speartreat]

looking at buying one soon, pretty pleased to see itll do well in the snow!

[@CaptainAnytime]

Honestly considering owning echos the rest of my life, lol. I’m taking this baby to 500,000km minimum. LOVE IT.

[@speartreat]

@@CaptainAnytime the one i was looking at fell through, but im checking out a paseo on friday. Something in the tercel/paseo/echo/yaris diaspora is in my future

[@speartreat]

@@CaptainAnytimestumbled across this video again a year later. 3 months in and turned out she burnt oil and the tach mounted in front of my idiot lights was the final straw before it knocked. Just put a new engine in it and she’s good to go again. I’m in love lol. Still havent been able to take it in the snow yet tho.

[@joefries7046]

they are usually really good in deep snow because the car uses narrow tires. Skinny tires in deep snow are the usually the best. plus car is light . So good chunky narrow tires and should be good! mine is!

[@eduardohuerta5460]

The ECHO is the best 🚗

[@Wipedownurtearslouvre]

No doubt

[@elverdad6805]

Thank you!

[@HakutenGaming]

same with my echo hatchback 2005 deep snow no problem

[@Guamiury]

My mom has this car I want it as my first car to

[@joeyhillers9460]

Stick 14 inch ranger tires with studs on it for ice. Found mine for 200, sold the rims they came with for 70, and drove all through Ohio just fine in the $800 crapbox

[@rowsdower12]

I had an 03 for 10 years. I know it depends on tires but overall no issues

[@user-bq5kp9nr1e]

Ihave a 2003echo myson gave me absolute love it good in snow good on gas

[@CaptainAnytime]

Good to hear!

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

Having an Echo and living in N. Indiana, there are a couple of things. To the good, the front wheel drive really helps out in snow, and if you do get stuck, the car is light, and easily able to be rocked out or pushed out. However, in a snowfall of 6 in+, it does start to bog down. Also, it can be a squirrel on ice, and does like to slide. Run it in low gear in deep snow. It helps.

I knew you were a fellow Canadian about three words in 😅. I'm guessing BC or Alberta?

[@CaptainAnytime]

British Columbia 😂

[@hamadrazach]

I am going to buy this car....

[@Seekingtruth-mx3ur]

[@steven4894]

[@mannyaraujo1]

[@Diitzybimbo]

[@CaptainAnytime]

All I can say is I wouldn’t drive it if I wasn’t married.

[@BestOfPerusse]

I am buying this car what do you have for roof rack there is it custom made?

[@CaptainAnytime]

I’ve got got a Thule rack, it’s got the standard cross bards and it actually has Honda Civic mounting hardware but it seems to fit just fine. I also have the air deflector accessory and ski rack accessory here.

[@ronaldvero5232]

[@camopaint0707]
