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.

I'd hate to have to replace this car with anything on the market now. Definitely no comparable value. However, I have to say, the prices people are asking for these used now reflect this. People are trying to sell ones with 100,000 mi for a 10% discount from new. Sure glad I got mine last year (when gas was a mere $3).

Replying to: dephinusorca (Jul 23, 2008 7:56 pm) I bought a new Suburban and a new Echo within a few months of each other in 2001 when gas was $1.30. The guys at work loved the Suburban but hee hawed the Echo. The tables have sure turned now have they not? Both cars are worth the same in resale in spite of the Suburban costing twice as much.   There are flippers on Craigslist offering $3,000 for any Echo regardless of condition. I'm starting to worry that the Echo will get stolen, but am considering leaving the keys in the Suburban hoping that somebody will steal it. Replies to this message: nippononly (Jul 26, 2008 4:01 pm)

Replying to: triadecho (Jul 24, 2008 8:45 am) The Suburban only cost twice what the Echo cost? I am surprised the Sub was priced that low.   The Echo has always been an outstanding value in a commute car, but it sure is earning extra brownie points this year!
