Toyota Echo
This was the car my mom rented when she came out to visit us. As for this particular specimen, it had no bells or whistles and had been smoked in, so it really started to stink on a hot day and even if it hadn’t you would have had to roll the windows down anyways because there was no air conditioning. I’m not sure if there was a stereo because my mom doesn’t like having music while she’s driving.
I didn’t get to drive this car because I’m still not old enough to drive a rental car, but my mom said it was kind of gutless. I never used to be a real fan of the Toyota Echo because I think its ass end is stuck up too high in the air, but I think I’ve changed my mind about it.
It’s super small on the outside but quite spacious on the inside. That high ass end means there’s a big, deep trunk. You can park in any parking stall you want, even one between 2 giant SUVs that have both parked really close to the line, because it’s super small and it turns on a dime. BC Ferries classifies it as an undersize car so you pay less to take it on the Ferry. We drove all over Victoria and all over Salt Spring Island for 4 days and didn’t have to buy gas once.
The Toyota Echo gets 3.5 pints, but they are pints that somebody else was drinking and you just thought they looked really tasty.
Score:
