If you do all scheduled maintenance, including regular oil changes, spark plug changes, the occasional PCV valve replacement, air filter changes, the occasional O2 sensor and MAF replacements, the engine is going to last an extremely long time. I don't think anyone has yet tested the limits of this engine? I know 3 different people that have over 400,000 miles on their Toyota Echo's and they are still going strong. Only one of those replaced his transmission, and all 3 are on the original engine with no rebuilds. I also know someone who did virtually no maintenance (ran short on oil, followed up by overfilling) and destroyed their engine recently at just 85,000 miles (this was on a Toyota Rav4 not an echo, but I don't think that really matters, the point is the engine is not bullet proof, it will last a long time if you take care of it).
Toyota Echos have a timing chain rather than a timing belt so there is no need to change it.
The Toyota Echo is a gender neutral car. It was manufactured for someone looking for an affordable, reliable, fuel efficient vehicle.
Scion generally uses Toyota engines, so try looking for something like corolla engine. This is why Scions cost a little more, the engine longevity is much better than most cars.
Since the Toyota Echo was only produced from 2000 to 2005 one would need to look for them at used car dealers. Official Toyota retailers might have used Echos too.
Poor sales. The Echo was replaced with the Yaris.
I have a 2000 Echo 4Dr Sedan with 330000 KM and no problems what so ever.

if its a belt, every 60k miles is the best, although you can go 90k, I would not test it, they are very, very, very important for timing and longevity of the engine.
Is the 08 3.5 toyota engine interference
The Toyota 4y engine is a combination of the Toyota T engine and the Toyota R engine and is used mostly in commercial and off-road vehicles. The firing order for the Toyota 4y engine is 1-3-4-2.
It means "Echos From my", it is an uncompleted sentence.
