I still get the urge to change gears when I'm driving the Echo, but overall it's easy to drive and steer (it has power steering), the stereo sounds good and I haven't dinged it yet. The only negative thing is that putting on speed from having stopped, seems to take a while.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1142220600443728082006-03-13T16:30:00.000+13:002006-03-13T16:30:00.000+13:00Please post regarding your impressions of the Toyo...Please post regarding your impressions of the Toyota Echo.

This was not intentional.<BR/>I was forever stepping on that spot where there was no clutch.<BR/>The car must have thought I was nuts.Watson Woodworth https://www.blogger.com/profile/18056045044039701907noreply@blogger.com
