Default im buying a new car it is a...

Echo... Ive been thinking about buying a new car and I was considering the focus, lancer, and corolla, and sunfire. But when i was browsing the toyota website I saw the echo. It has wut i need. Cuz i deliever pizzas for a living. They got 108hp and 105lbs of torque. and only weigh a tad over 2k. dohc so it is prolly just as fast if not faster than a crx si. Good gas mileage and pretty quick. Very cheap in price. Best of all its a toyota and it also has a vtti engine. Im buying one as soon as my crx sells, its in auto trader right now.

echos are a bit top heavy, not trying to deter you, but there is a reason that SCCA does not let them auto X any more.
