I went to Consumer Reports site and checked out Toyota Echo, and the
MPG rating is 38 for the manual trans. but they didn't evaluate the
automatic version. Is this car too underpowered with auto trans, and
how much less MPG do you get? I am looking into buying a 2002 Echo
with auto trans., although I much prefer a manual trans.
I don't have one, but someone who owns an automatic Echo and automatic
Corolla said he got mid-high 20s in heavy city driving with the Echo,
20-23 with the Corolla. Back when Consumer Reports tested one of the
last models of the Echos predecessor, the Tercel, it gave them 28 MPG
city with 4-speed automatic, the Corolla about 21 MPG. Consumer
Reports' city mileage tends to be about as bad as you can expect, while
their highway mileage is often slightly higher than what car magazines
get (engine broken in by the time CR tested?).
