#5589 of 5645 nj by kneisl1 Jun 13, 2009 (11:57 am)
I live in NJ. My brother lives in Houston so I know what you mean! He cant even grow tomatos there its so hot! (maybe he should start them in january?)    I think a large part of my excellent battery life is I drive the car exactly the same every day. 6 miles to work and back. Very consistant. Of course the ECHO is a very high quality car and that counts for a lot too. That and I add water to the (nonsealed) battery every four months.

Had a chance to drive the Echo I gave to my son. It is holding up well except the back right door handle will not reset next to the door. It stills works and does not bother him. I surprised him by vacuuming, hand washing and waxing it. He knows I would love to have it back but he is on the road so much. And he gets 41 mpg highway while using the air conditioner. The Jeep he swapped for the Echo gives me 19 mpg. He says it's the best deal he ever made. When the Jeep has only one-fourth of a tank, start looking for a gas station. When the Echo has only one-fourth of a tank, keep on motoring and smiling. Replies to this message: dake (Jul 26, 2009 8:49 pm)

Why not sell the Jeep and look for a good used ECHO? I bought a 2000 ECHO with auto for $3000 and 117,000 miles a year ago for my son to drive to school. (it was used for a 50 mile daily communte) Its been a year and the car has been no problem at all 9000 miles later. He got 43 mpg driving to the Catskills with two friends last weekend.

Replying to: babyboomer (Jul 26, 2009 4:30 am) Huh... my Echo's door handle did the exact same thing (same handle and everything). Strange thing is, it almost never gets used - especially compared to the other three).

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jul 26, 2009 7:56 am) The Jeep was the last vehicle my wife's dad purchased before his death and it works fine. The wife loves the SUV she drives but the Jeep could some day replace it. Although I don't like the mpg of either, both vehicles are paid in full and work fine. We usually keep what we drive until the wheels fall off. Lastly, the auto industry is still on a roller coaster so we use what we have.

I drove the 2002 Echo the length of Georgia. Auto tran, fully loaded with books and clothes, air con used the whole trip (Georgia in August!), 5.5 hours: 42 mpg.

Replying to: babyboomer (Aug 10, 2009 4:57 pm) Ha! A babe in the woods. I'm closing in on 125,000, should be there by Labor Day. Still going strong, and I'm in cheap-out mode on maintenance until Christmas, although I may finally have to replace the battery before then, after four years of use.
