Re: Echo owners, your help please
You might also want to consider Hyundai Accents and Kia Rios of the same vintage. I rented an AT Kia Rio for 2 weeks in the Rockies and midwest. I averaged 43.4 mpg for 3600 miles, 49+ mpg for the last two tanks, and would have averaged 45 mpg if allowed to throw out two outlier tanks where I was fighting 40+ mph headwinds. The beauty of the Korean cars is while Echos are selling in the $5000 range, Accents and Rios are under $2000 - and they don't have center gauges.
One disadvantage compared to Echos is the maintenance cost of timing belt changes for the Korean cars, but their huge price advantage will more than cover those.
