CarComplaints.com Notes: The Toyota Echo has better fuel economy & far less problems than its competitors.
Typical fuel economy reported by owners starts at 35 MPG, with 40-50 MPG easily possible with some thoughtful driving. With not even a hint of any major problems, the Toyota Echo is a fantastically reliable car with fuel economy that puts some "eco-friendly" hybrids 10 years newer to shame.
For a few years there was an occasional, unbearably loud noise that no mechanic could resolve. Then the Toyota dealership finally seemed to have fixed it. Months later while coming to a stop light, the breaks suddenly had no pressure and the car smashed into the car in front.
Since the mechanic cannot find a problem with the brakes the blame is laid on me.
