My opinion the car is ugly as hell but you can only make an econobox look so good. I actually liked the center mount speedo and guages they were way more visible then guages in behind the steering wheel but this story is kind of funny: The other day a Z24 Cavy rolled up on my while I was driving my moms Echo I was carrying my gf and two brothers. The Cavy rolled up and threw a rev at me I wondered why even till this day but anyway so I cruised next to him(approx 55mph) looked over and then we both dropped it I couldnt believe my eyes the fucking Echo pulled and starting walking on up to 85 I was yellin holy shit holy shit! I couldnt believe what I was doing my brothers were laughing their asses off in the back seat I let off after 85 since I was woopen ass and the stability of the Echo isnt that great after 75mph. It is a good car IMO but I would never buy one.
