O2 sensor failed as I left the dealership. Dealer replaced at no cost after a two week wait on a back-ordered sensor.
Stereo shorted out with car off, draining the battery. Dealer replaced with salvaged stock stereo.
Good power to weight ratio, resulting in an impressive acceleration rate for such a small engine.
Great gasoline mileage. Have gotten 43mpg on highway.
Vehicle seems to be designed with practicality in mind; minimal frills, a fun car to drive.
Due to its size and weight, the vehicle is wind sensitive.
I love my echo dearly. Wow I get 44 MPG combined city highway and about 40 city. I have not taken it out on the open highway yet. But I love it so far!
