What's New for the 2005 Toyota Echo?
Aside from a new adjustable rear center headrest, nothing changes on the 2005 Toyota Echo.
Advantages of the 2005 Toyota Echo:
- Impressive fuel economy
- Likely to serve owners reliably
Objections to the 2005 Toyota Echo: - Adding options dramatically increases price
- Straight-line stability could use improvement
- Cheap interior materials
- Ultra-light curb weight could be a liability in an SUV nation
Editor's Advice:
The 2005 Toyota Echo makes sense for people who live in the city, desire a conventional trunk and want the least-expensive Toyota available on the market. However, in this day and age of low-interest financing, big rebates and long powertrain warranties, we think that there are other cars in the price bracket that can match and even surpass the Echo in terms of value and quality, such as the Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra and Mitsubishi Lancer.
