Toyota Echo

However, don't be fooled by its slightly cartoonish silhouette; this is a car that packs a punch in all areas, from performance to safety features. Let's take a look at what you can get out of this Japanese-made practical automobil

The Toyota Echo comes in a variety of options, such as the three-door, four or five door models, all suitable for varying family or individual needs. The wide back and narrow front are a boon for acceleration and speed due to the streamlined curve of the car's body. Utilitarian headlights are great at illuminating the road during poor visibility, and the car comes in a variety of colors, with the most common being a metallic grey.

The Echo is famously known for its great gas mileage thanks to a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. The engine is capable of cranking out 108 horsepower and torque of 105 pounds per foot. It achieves a gas mileage of 29/37 mpg city and highway respectively, which is quite decent for a mid-sized Toyota that also has the acceleration that is expected from a light and small chassis.

The Toyota Echo has standard safety features that are to be expected of any Toyota, and these include driver and passenger front airbags, rear door child safety locks, 2 front and rear headrests and ventilated front disc and rear drum brakes
