Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this clean, turn-key 2000 Toyota Vitz RS, a genuine JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) hot hatch from the golden era of Japanese engineering. Known in the United States as the Echo, the Japanese-market Vitz RS is a different vehicle altogether—factory-tuned by Toyota to deliver raw, lightweight driver engagement that modern cars cannot replicate.
Under the hood is a 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE 4-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Weighing under 2,100 lbs, this pocket rocket delivers power to the front wheels through a factory Limited-Slip Differential (LSD), ensuring excellent traction through tight corners and winding roads.
Vehicle highlights include an engine and drivetrain featuring a 1.5L DOHC 16V 4-cylinder engine with a crisp 5-speed manual transmission and factory LSD. The vehicle has authentic JDM provenance with right-hand drive layout, factory RS ground effects, mesh grille, rear spoiler, lightweight alloys, and badging.
The interior offers comfort with cold air conditioning, power brakes, power steering, power windows, and supportive RS sport seats designed for high-g cornering. The exterior is finished in an exceptionally clean champagne silver metallic, complemented by a fresh, well-preserved dark cloth interior showing minimal wear.
Whether you're seeking an agile autocross champion, a head-turning daily driver, or a unique addition to your Japanese car collection, this 2000 Vitz RS provides pure analog fun in a pristine, ready-to-drive package.
