what you guys think about the new toyota echo, i just wanna here some opinions, i think it's pretty nice, it reminds me of a renault clio.

imported_SiR_YO

it's ok.. no pep to it though... and sitting inside and comparing the "quality" to my car is like night and day.....

it can actually pretty pricy for what you get too... I'm assuming you're talking about the hatch too

imported_Torrey

I like it a lot.... the hatch that is. But everyone I tell that to looks at me, then laughs histarically.

To each their own.

It looks okay. It is TINY though. It is about the same length as an old Pontiac Firefly.

4 wheel drift..... (and yes I was in one of these when the guy driving did it ... I was shocked....)

SilverCRXSi

I like it alot.
Was actually really close to getting one but then I pulled outta deal at the last minute for various reasons.
Me likes it though!
PLus aftermarket parts will be easy to get since the "Vitz" is pretty popular around the world.
I wonder is 16"s can fit on that car...

imported_SiR_YO

why wouldn't 16's fit on the car?? I believe it was 16's on the one that was at the auto show??

what various reasons pulled you out of the deal? perhaps the cost???

imported_QRTR

It's a nice compact car and the colours available
are very hot...

The G2 Racer

eh...it's ok.
However being how big I am I doubt I'd fit in the thing. It looks so damn small. Course so did my Civic and it was pretty big actually.

The colors it comes are pretty nice though.

imported_toyman29

very nice, easily turbo'd

imported_L85

it's 13000 base i think, its an okay price, the mileage is really good. well that is compared to my gas guzzler, but everything is good compared to a v6. i really like the clio, and this is pretty similar.


anyone know if renault is gonna bring that car into canada and when.

Brisk20

is it true that in the next year or two there bringing out another more powerful motor??

imported_toyman29

i donno about a bigger motor
but they have the toyota vitz in japan and euroupe for a while now which is the same as the echo
and they have turbo kits for it

speedracer

i like the blue.looks kindalike the m3 blue

I think that the Echo hatchback looks fantastic!!

Those sedans look like crap though!! In hatch form, it looks WAY better!! I doubt that I would ever purchase one though, it looks too small for me. I've heard that it's pretty large inside coz it is, afterall, just one big box shape.

DJTre

someone post a pic??

I'm a big fan of it, but needs about $6K extra in mods to make it respectable.... susp, rims, power windows, sunroof, kit, shaved sidemarkers (or ones more appropriately sized), and some engine work.

EL_Sport

Can't really say that I am a fan of the Echo hatch, although it is better looking than the sedan/coupe. Sure its a small car, but from my experiences driving a rental Echo sedan, the engine is just anemic. Since the hatch uses the same motor as in the sedan/coupe, I would assume the hatch is just as slow. Not really a fan of really small cars anyways myself.

SpikeyLee

I think that there was a thread before about the new Echo hatch that had pics in it, but I can't find it so here ya go!

for some reason they look way better in pics than they do in real life. I also went to check it out, they are small, don't ever expect to get any respect in one of these cars... esp not from the ladies. but who cares, it looks like a fun car!
