I think some of these fools think they have the 1.8 180hp. Tried to pull away from me in traffic after he cut me off 3 times!!!! He soon discovered what "driven" really means.

Echos don't have 1.8 Turbos, it's a VW/Audi thing. Echos have 108 hp and 105 ft. lbs. I'm pretty sure about the numbers but they definitely don't have 1.8 T.

Moe... reread his post. He says they drive LIKE they have a 1.8T. Actually those Echos move for such little HP. Good HP to weight ratio. Those things are tin cans.

Oh hahahah, yeah not bad 8.5 0-60, but they only weigh 2035 lbs. which might be a problem when you get in an accident. Although Toyota made them to stand up to an accident as well as the Camry.

I'd rather have it too. Way more torque from the start, and it's much more tuneable too.
