Yeah my mom has a 03 Echo 4dr and that thing blows around the freeway. How does it handle at 70-80 mph with out alot of winds? And how does it handle curvey mountain roads?

70-80 without any wind or traffic is fine....haven't taken it to the mountains yet, but we have some great curvy back roads here and at a fast speed, the thing seems to hug the road pretty well...i'm impressed..

fit and finish for its price range is very impressive for us. we love how the doors sound when they close, a solid THUD. very audi like, unlike similarly priced cars which have a tin-can like sound. the only really noticeable drawback we feel is the lack of sound insualtion in the firewall area. the engine is quite loud at any rpm, and due to its tuning for high mpg, it does indeed have a rough idle. since we dont have a tach, maybe hearing the engine is a good thing for the stick users. seats could be a little more comfortable for long trips, but perfectly fine for commuting. one little talked about bonus with this car is how you can wash it in like 15 minutes, since its sooo damn small. it has 3500 on the odometer, and we've loved every single mile...

not many mountain roads here in Ohio, but I can out corner any of my friends cars... like taking 25mph freeway off ramps at 60 and sticking my lane
