Hot Echo you got there - I love the rims. I'm toying with the idea of buying one as a daily driver for my wife and I. Can't beat the cost, and they get great mileage. Not only that, but the power to weight ratio is excellent. How do you like yours? What all have you done to it? You must be located in Canada, I dont think the US got the hatch model?
i got all sorts of stuff on the thing, in retrospect, it was way too much and i would recomend only getting a couple of things (like A/C and power steering) and add stuff later. and skip the loweing springs, exhaust and intake.
stuff i got:
cold air intake
cargo liner
performance exhaust
fog lamps (aftermarket piaa's oddly)
lowering springs
MP3 stereo
B pillar accent (the black sticker in between the door and rear window)
rear spoiler
side skirts
side window visors
air conditioning
since then i have replaced the stock 4 speakers with alpine Type-S speakers which makes it really pump now, and a TRD shift knob and the 15" bronze Konig Heliums
i don't plan on doing anything else to it for awhile now, my next mod might be a short shifter, or bucket seats out of an echo RS or a Matrix.
its pretty good on gas, but it really depnds on how you drive it, if you drive hard, its a pig on gas for a 1.5L, but if you drive old-man style you will be getting at least 800KM to a tank opposed to 400KM as a lead-foot.
if you get one, just get a basic model with AC or what have you, there are better aftermaket exhausts, intakes and lowering springs out there for way less money
only thing i dont like about them is that the speedo is in the middle - does that bother you any? Other than that they're pretty sweet, especially yours
