TOYOTA ECHO Used Car Review

In 1999 the Echo replaced the uninspiring Starlet as the smallest Toyota you could buy. It was available in three- and five-door hatchback body style, or a sedan that featured a larger engine. Anti-lock brakes and a passenger airbag weren't even standard on earlier models, while power steering (2002) and air-conditioning (2003) weren't included until later. The Echo nameplate lasted just one generation, ending in 2005 when its successor adopted the car's global name: Yaris.

Pros

Cons

  • Big cabin for the car's size
  • Digital speedo quite advanced for its time
  • Willing and reasonably smooth 1.3L engine
  • Build quality

  • Old now; its replacement, the Yaris, a better used buy

  • Better 1.5L engine not in all hatch variants
  • Some models were short on safety/convenience features
  • Sedan's frumpy styling

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: TOYOTA ECHO (1999 TO 2005)

Not much to report here, thanks to the Echo being a typical Toyota and, therefore, pretty darn reliable.

But you do need to check a few things, starting with the service record. These engines were physically small and held only a small amount of oil. And since they worked pretty hard, it's important that oil and filter changes were not skipped.

During the test drive, check that the heater control isn't too stiff to move and that the air-conditioning blows icy-cold air at you.

Unfortunately, the Echo is one of the many cars that was caught up in the Takata air-bag fiasco, so a check with a Toyota dealer will give you the latest updates on this ongoing saga and information on what your next move should be.

It's a moving target, unfortunately, as more and more cars are added to the recall list.
