Vitz/echo Hatchback?
Anyone else driving a Echo HB (Canada) or Vitz in other countries / Yaris?
The car isn't really a gas saver for myself - perhaps my driving habits killed the milage. But anywho... anyone driving one of these small minivans? It is tall as hell, but fun little car to cruise to work / urban areas driving. 1 to 3 gears are very strong however, lacks the top speed @ 4th. On highway 150km/h is very stable and can reach 160 the most with those "grippy" tires
. 2nd gear I can reach 100km/h very slowly hehe.
Any other reviews? impressions?

My Mom has a Yaris. I was impressed with the amount of interior space, considering how tiny it looks from outside. I also liked the instrument panel.
As far as driving goes, it felt fairly peppy on the back roads, but I never took it on a real highway (there still aren't that many highways in Ireland), so I don't know how it would drive over 80mph or so.
