Over its six-year run, the Toyota Echo built a reputation based on strong gas mileage ratings and a low sticker price. With highway gas mileage figures that ranged into the low 40 mile per gallon (MPG) range (when outfitted with the five-speed manual) and a MSRP that started at just $9,995, the draw was clear. Toyota marketed the 2000 Echo as bringing “Roominess, Performance and Youth Appeal to the Entry-Level Segment.” Ah, but the appreciation of the finer points of high-MPGs and low monthly payments knows no age barriers.

The Echo was available in both four-door (shown above) and two-door models. Under the hood, a spunky 1.5 liter DOHC four cylinder engine using Toyota’s VVT-i (”Variable Valve Timing with intelligence”) technology delivered sub nine second 0-60 times, as it produced 108 horsepower (HP) and 105 foot pounds of torque.
