| | Full Test: 2001 Toyota Echo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Admittedly, our test car had $1,000 worth of appearance items that were unnecessary, but even without the body cladding, alloy wheels and spoiler you're talking the same price as a 2001 Honda Civic DX Sedan equipped with optional air conditioning. |
 | | Echo's short wheelbase and softly sprung independent front strut, rear torsion beam suspension are wonderful things in tightly packed urban areas with cracked and broken byways. |
 | | Furthermore, Echo's rear seatbelt anchorages are placed in such a manner that, once a forward-facing child seat is installed, it is difficult, if not impossible, to cinch the seat down tightly and remove slack in the belt. |
