Replying to: highmiler650 (Jul 08, 2008 11:18 am) My running average over 42K miles so far is just shy of 42 mpg, about 41.9.   '02 5 speed. Lots of hills where I live in the Bay Area, but I also do a lot of regular driving on rural 2-lanes where the most you can safely do is about 50 mph. Doing 50 in 5th gear has the engine just loafing along.

Replying to: mopar71 (Jul 09, 2008 11:53 am) How did the car hold up in that accident? I'm considering a 2002 echo, but am having a bit of a problem finding safety ratings.

The ECHO did very well in the crash tests. Much better than you would think! Replies to this message: triadecho (Jul 20, 2008 5:41 am) mopar71 (Jul 23, 2008 8:56 am)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jul 16, 2008 3:21 am) My 2001 Echo crashed about like a Camry in the tests. My daughter personally crash tested hers at 60 mph and walked away with $900 damage. Replies to this message: mopar71 (Jul 23, 2008 8:56 am)

Replying to: kneisl1 (Jul 23, 2008 9:48 am) As a novice driver, she was going too fast in the rain and spun the Echo in a big puddle of water on a Houston freeway. It backed into the blunt end of a guard rail, and she walked away. The shop pulled the body work out, aligned the trunk and replaced the bumper cover. After some educational lectures from me, she was back on the road getting our usual 28/39 mpg in warm weather.   I heard that Toyota uses high strength steel in their cars which may explain how the car held up?

They use the same stuff everyone else does. Although I believe the ECHO has done very well in crash tests.
