No matter what they do to that car, it still is not going to outhandle a similarly-equipped car like the Protege.
Let's say for example an Echo costs $10k, and a P5 costs $15k. If you turn them BOTH into $20k cars with mods, the P5 will spank the Echo all day long and most of the night, too. It's just too damn tall and too damn narrow to ever be a real handler. Oh - and those *concepts* are fuuuuugly. Just MHO. ~HH |
Not to mention the rear suspension is crap.

I respect anyone who tries to hook up their car in their own way, but that kills section is should be called "Dreamland"

Originally posted by Bruce95fmla are you forgeting the wheal base on that car, it would kill a protege on in the slalom and on the autocross track , with two equivalent drivers and the same horsepower, especiall a p5 , with all that extra junk in the trunk From Edmunds.com: ......At the track, the Echo proved frightening during quick transitions in the 600-foot slalom and unsettling on the 200-foot skidpad. Its narrow width, tall seating position and excessive body lean sent chills up our road test editor's spine (something about the inside rear tire lifting off the ground). He did manage an unexpected .79 Gs on the skidpad, but the laggardly 55.9 mph slalom speed was representative of the Echo's twitchy nature. Regardless, there's no way in hell that the Echo's wheelbase gives it any advantage. The P5 might be a dog in the motor, but Mazda put the money in the suspension. It's not an MazdaSpeed, but it's the same basic suspension geometry, and kicks ass, even in wagon form. The Echo is even worse in the engine (can you say 108 HP? Ugh!) and the suspension is just plain junk - Toyota spent the money on raising fuel economy and neato speedos. ~HH |
Oh brother. Echo The name even sounds gay:gay: I will never, ever be caught driving an echo.
