STORY PHOTOS

I'm a proud owner of three unique cars, each special in its own way. The first I'm going to describe here is my sweet Toyota Echo 2002 babe. I use it for short trips around the States, when I don't have to take much cargo or passengers, like buisness or recreational trips.

I purchased Toyota Echo in 2002, when the model was only introduced to United States and was sold with considerable discounts. It's a sweet 2-door front-wheel drive coupe equipped with great Japanese technologies - 5-sp manual gearbox, silent 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine (16 vavles) producing 108 horsepower (105 ft lb torque), comfortable independent suspension and secure disc brakes, plus an air-conditioning system, halogen frontlights and adjustable seats.

It has a very neat look and an average fuel consumption of 5.7 liter per 100 km. I'm always very careful buying petrol for my Toyota because its engine may work out really soon processing low-quality fuel. In order to maintain my car in satisfactory condition I visit my friend who owns a car station monthly, and he says Toyotas never bring much trouble, unlike other Asian cars.

I really love my Toyota Echo, its cosy saloon and fancy exterior, however I don't use it as often as my other cars.

I like Japanese cars but Saab is better for me.

This car has good perfomance, though its engine is small. And the fuel economy is a pleasant thing.

If the fuel prices grow the same way I think soon I'll be driving some compact car too and I'll have to write one more car story here.

Well I don't agree all other Asian car are troubling. I own Nissan Almera and there are no problem. May be because it is only several monthes. But I like my auto.
