We needed a second cheap car at home, so we got across a 2001 Echo 2 door "sport" with 175K Miles. It is very basic but runs like new...the last owner a friend of mine, did a daily 30 miles commute on it Monday to Friday for last 3 years and just made basic maintenance, oil changes, filters, etc... It is very fun to drive, MPG is awesome and it makes me wonder why not even modern Toyota's are as good as this one. I also own a wonderful Lexus RX what it is as silent, comfortable and luxurious as it gets, but still in awe of the economy beater.
Good for you!! Answer your question, business. If a car lasts too long, less money the company will make. Many feel Toyota's decline started after this car was discontinued.
I have a Toyota Platz 2003 car 145k KM driven for family use. This car has been in use for about 5 months. This is one of the best old cars in this era fallen under the sedan class.
En pleno 2024 quiero adquirir uno de estos vehículos, el detalle es que, veo que el asiento del pasajero en la parte de atrás es angosto, cuál es su estatura de usted, yo mido 1.72, me recomienda este vehículo como primer auto, busco que el auto sea espacioso en la parte del interior gracias amigo un saludo desde Perú

I’m 1.85 meters tall and it’s very comfortable. Roof hight is significantly over average and the seats are high off the ground like an SUV.
