Here are some pics of the updated 2003 Echo. It's still ugly, just a different sort of ugly.









So exciting.

 

A little bit better.

 

a small car that is 5ft tall is not a good thing, no matter how it looks.

 

hey i dont like it, but not bad for a $11k. A person who makes relatively no money can have a new car, have reliable transportation, and a *decent* ride. Did they do anything to the interior, because thats where it needs help.

 

$11k isn't bad if you want a barest of the bare bones model. I mean, that's for a 5spd, no air condition, AM/FM radio, no power steering, no power window/locks, no clock, no tach, no rear window defogger, etc.... Even worse is when you just want power window and locks, Toyota forces you to buy a whole slew of other options in option package 1&2. Pricing an automatic Echo sedan with power window/locks and the required option packages that goes with it (nothing fancy), price was at just under $15k! For less than $500 more, you can get a better looking (and probably better built) and larger near equivilent optioned Corolla, and you don't have to deal with that :ghey: center instrument panel.

 

very true, and thats why i said reliable, *decent* and new.... i didnt add in all the opther options because they arent there..... and yes, id rather buy a corolla for a few thousand more and get all those options.... thats why you dont see too many echos, but if all you want is a new relaible car, an can only affor 11k, then the echo is for you..... not for everyone.

 

For $11k, I rather buy a used reliable car. Just my preference.

 

yeah, nothing wrong with a lightly used car.

 

well yes, its all personal preference, thats why the options are there. I would too rather have a used car with more features, thats why i bought my accord.

 

looks more suzuki/kia ish to me :eh: :dunno:
